Total heart failure hospitalizations and cardiovascular deathb
 Event rate per 100 person-y 18.5 (16.4-20.8) 19.0 (17.9-20.2)
 Unadjusted RR (95% CI) 0.96 (0.80-1.15), P = 0.62 1.00 (referent)
 Adjusted RR (95% CI) 1.13 (0.93-1.37), P = 0.23 1.00 (referent)

Unadjusted analysis includes factors for Asia/not Asia, randomized treatment, and history of HF hospitalization and is stratified by diabetes status. Adjusted analysis includes factors for Asia/not Asia, randomized treatment, history of heart failure hospitalization, age, sex, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, BMI, ischemic etiology of heart failure, LVEF, NYHA functional class, NT-proBNP, atrial fibrillation, and eGFR (and stratified by type 2 diabetes status).

Abbreviations as in Table 1.

a

The primary outcome was a composite of worsening heart failure (hospitalization or an urgent visit resulting in intravenous therapy for heart failure) or death from cardiovascular causes.

b

Risk estimate presented is a rate ratio (RR).
