*Empagliflozin is less costly and more effective than the comparator.

†The comparator is less costly and more effective than empagliflozin.

AE, adverse event; CV, cardiovascular; ICER, incremental cost-effectiveness ratio; ITT, intent-to-treat; NA, not applicable; QALY, quality-adjusted life year; SoC, standard of care.
