Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To identify risk factors for lymphopenia, defined as an absolute lymphocyte count < 500 cells/μl, or investigator reported lymphopenia, in the SAVOR study population. | 60 months |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To identify risk factors for absolute lymphocyte count <750 cells/µl or investigator reported lymphopenia. | 60 months |
| To identify risk factors for decreased lymphocyte count (>=30% decrease from baseline. | 60 months |
| To evaluate whether risk factors for low lymphocyte counts or decreasing lymphocyte count differ between saxagliptin users and non-users. | 60 months |
