Table 2.

Event rates and hazard ratios of clinical outcomes associated with use of SGLT2is versus DPP4is (intention-to-treat analyses).

SGLT2is, sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors; DPP4is, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors; pys, person-years; SDHR, subdistribution hazard ratio; HHF, hospitalization for heart failure; MACE, major adverse cardiovascular event.

3P-MACE included non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, or cardiovascular death.

4P-MACE included non-fatal HHF, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, or cardiovascular death.

§Hazard ratio of all-cause death was estimated using the Cox proportional hazard model analysis instead of subdistribution hazard model analysis.
