IPD=individual patient level data; OR=odds ratio; RECORD=Rosiglitazone Evaluated for Cardiac Outcomes and Regulation of Glycemia in Diabetes study; RR=relative risk.

For all analyses, numbers of heart failure events observed among total population of patients was as follows: IPD only, rosiglitazone population: 122 events among 11 837 patients; IPD only, control population: 80 events among 9319 patients; RECORD, rosiglitazone population: 119 events among 2226 patients; RECORD, control population: 61 events among 2232 patients.
