  1. CI = confidence interval
  2. Data are number of patients with a laboratory adverse experience/number of patients with laboratory measurement expressed as a percentage (n/N [%]).
  3. *Positive differences indicate that the incidence rate for the sitagliptin group is higher than the incidence rate for the non-exposed group. "0.0" and "-0.0" represent rounding for values that are slightly greater and slightly less than zero, respectively.
