| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Participants Who Experienced an Event For Time, From Randomization to First Occurrence of Cardiovascular Death, Non-fatal Myocardial Infarction, or Non-fatal Stroke (a Composite Cardiovascular Outcome) | From randomization to first occurrence or death from any cause or study completion (Median Follow-Up of 5.4 Years) | The time from randomization to first occurrence of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, or non-fatal stroke (a composite endpoint) was evaluated using time-to-event analysis. The primary analysis model was a Cox proportional hazards regression model for the time to the first occurrence of a primary endpoint event, with treatment as a fixed effect using the intent-to-treat population. The number of participants who experienced a primary cardiovascular (CV) endpoint event is presented. |
