The percentages are calculated using the total number of subjects in each treatment group. Components of the composite are listed in decreasing order of ranks, where a higher rank corresponds to a better outcome

Win odds (primary) for Dapa 10 mg vs placebo and confidence interval are calculated from Cox regression model stratified by country, with a factor for treatment group. The 2-sided p-value is calculated from the log-rank test stratified by country

Win odds (direct) for Dapa 10 mg vs placebo, confidence intervals and 2-sided p-value are calculated using the theory of U-statistics, which does not require distributional assumptions

CI confidence interval, Dapa dapagliflozin, FAS full analysis set, N number of subjects in treatment group

aIn-hospital events, as defined in the prevention composite endpoint

bTotal number of subjects with non-missing vital status on Day 30

cSubjects inside this category are ranked using the timing of the event, a later event corresponding to a worse outcome

dSubjects with multiple events from the components of the prevention composite endpoint. Repeated events of the same component of a subject are not counted

eSubjects inside this category are ranked using the timing of the event, later corresponding to a better outcome

fIn-hospital withdrawal of consent and alive on Day 30
