Estimates were calculated from models of tafamidis treatment effect on outcome, adjusted for the following covariates: baseline value, follow-up time, baseline treatment propensity score, gender, age at baseline, duration of ATTR-related symptoms at baseline, and a treatment-by-time interaction. The number of treated subjects (numbers were matched with controls) at baseline, 12 months, and 24 months, respectively, for each measure were as follows: Mapped NIS-LL 203, 173, 51; NCS 175, 146, 43; Reflex score 238, 200, 73; Motor score 227, 192, 68; Sensory score 178, 150, 44; Norfolk TQoL score 189, 176, 58; Karnofsky index 243, 206, 74; mBMI 170, 130, 47; BUN 210, 171, 56
