Brief summary

This study aims to describe the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with established cardiovascular disease (CVD) according to the (Empagliflozin) Cardiovascular Outcome Event Trial in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients (EMPA-REG OUTCOME (ERO)) study definition in a Swedish population. The aim was also to describe the prevalence of established CVD according to ERO study definition in patients with T2DM who initiates treatment with empagliflozin
