Data Select pooled variables are shown; see Appendix Tables 3-6 for baseline characteristics prior to and after propensity score matching, stratified by database and cohort. See Appendix Table 7 for the analogous table for Table 1 prior to propensity score matching.

A1c laboratory data was available for 10% of the pooled sample and not included in the propensity score model
