Values are n/N (%), unless otherwise indicated. Event rates presented per 100 patient-years. HRs and 95% CIs were estimated with the use of Cox regression models, stratified according to diabetes status, with a history of hospitalization for heart failure and treatment group assignment as explanatory variables (for all-cause mortality history of hospitalization for heart failure was not included in the model).

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.
