Cardiovascular outcome(s)
(no difference between diabetic and nondiabetic)
Primary outcome
Reduction in the composite of CV death or hospitalization for HF: HR: 0.75 (CI: 0.65–0.86)
Reduction in hospitalization for HF: HR: 0.70 (CI: 0.58–0.85)
Primary outcome
Reduction in the composite of CV death or hospitalization for HF: HR 0.79 (CI: 0.69–0.90)
Reduction in hospitalization for HF: HR: 0.71 (CI: 0.60–0.83)
Reduction of CV death: HR: 0.91 (CI: 0.76–1.09)
Primary outcome
Improvement in the composite of worsening HF or death from CV causes. HR: 0.74 (CI: 0.65–0.85)
Primary outcome
Reduction in CV deaths and hospitalization and ED visits for HF: HR 0.67 (CI: 0.52–0.85)
Secondary outcome
Reduction in hospitalizations and urgent visits: HR 0.64 (CI: 0.49–0.83)
Primary outcome
Reduction in the composite of CV death and HF events (hospitalizations and urgent HF visits: HF: HR: 0.82 (CI: 0.73–0.92)
Secondary outcome (s)
HF events: HR 0.79 (CI: 0.69–0.91)
CV death: HR 0.88 (CI: 0.74–1.05)
Kidney outcome(s) Secondary outcome
Decrease in the rate of decline in eGFR over the course of the study. Between-group difference of 1.73 ml/min/1.73 m2 (95% CI: 1.10–2.37)
Secondary outcome
Decrease in the rate of decline in eGFR over the course of the study: 1.25 ml/min/1.73 m2 per year in empagliflozin vs. 2.62 ml/min/1.73 m2 per year in placebo group
Secondary outcome
No significant benefit in worsening kidney function.
Secondary outcome
No significant mean change in eGFR
Safety outcome
No difference in any kidney serious adverse event or adverse event that led to discontinuation of dapagliflozin or placebo (2.3 % vs. 2.5 % in dapagliflozin and placebo groups respectively)
