Primary events, as specified in SPRINT, included a composite of cardiovascular death or first occurrence of myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, or non-MI acute coronary syndrome

Number of person years was 14,756.2 for the intensive arm, and 14,688.8 for the standard arm.

Model failed to converge due to low numbers.

Note: Columns will not sum to total hospitalizations because all primary events are counted and there were instances with >1 primary event per day; in addition, some primary events did not map to a hospitalization.

**

After adjustment for multiple comparisons by the Bonferroni correction (p=0.0028), none of the ICD-10 categories were more common in either the intensive or randomized arms of the trial.

CKD – chronic kidney disease; CV – cardiovascular; BP blood pressure
