Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Composite endpoint consisting of: cardiovascular mortality, non-fatal stroke, non-fatal myoracial infarction, rehospitalization due to heart failure

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Cardiovascular morbidity (cardiac insufficiency, coronary heart disease, revascularization, TIA. Myocardial infarction or stroke are appraised as secondary instead of primary endpoints when the composite primary endpoint has already been reached beforehand). 2. overall mortality. 3. course / manifestation of cardiovascular risk factors (glucose, lipids, blood pressure, renal insufficiency, etc.). 4. the importance of the physical condition (for example, dexterity) on health-related quality of life, tendency to fall, age dependency and on new cardiovascular Events. 5. Significance of cognitive (e.g., memory) and mental (e.g., depressive) condition related to health-related quality of life, tendency to fall, retirement, and new cardiovascular events, 6. manifestation of atrial fibrillation. 7. Independency in everyday life (by degree of nursing). 8. intra-abdominal, intra-myocellular and intra-hepatic fat. 9. Significance of glucose variability (inter-day and intra-day) with respect to cardiovascular outcomes (event / re-event). 10. the importance of body fat distribution and the intra-abdominal hepatic and intramuscular fat distribution pattern for cardiovascular risk. 11. the importance of stress-induced (test meal versus physical stress) metabolic (lipids, glucometabolites, amino acids, etc.) changes related to the new Event. 12. Changes of kidney function during follow-up - Incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) - Progression of CKD - New onset of end stage renal disease (ESRD) 13. Major adverse kidney events (MAKE), defined as a 25% reduction of eGFR or new onset of ESRD or death. 14. New onset of ESRD or 25% reduction of eGFR. 15. New or recurrent AKI episodes. 16. Relevance of peripheral neuropathy (measured by questionnaires, clinical as well as neurophysiological examination), neuropathic pain and autonomic neuropathy (measured by questionnaire and heart rate variability) in predicting microangiopathy (fundus photo
