  1. Please note that direct comparison of trials may not be accurate owing to differences in study design, populations and methodology. RRR and ARR are only shown where a significant reduction was reported, or a nominally significant reduction in the case of an exploratory analysis. *Defined as: dSCr accompanied by eGFR of < 45 ml/min/1.73 m2 in EMPA-REG OUTCOME; ≤40% decrease in eGFR in the CANVAS Program; and ≤ 40% decrease in eGFR to < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 in DECLARE-TIMI 58. †Exploratory analysis, p-value is nominal or not available. 3P-MACE, 3-point major adverse CV event; ARR, absolute risk reduction; CI, confidence interval; CV, cardiovascular; dSCr, doubling of serum creatinine; HHF, hospitalisation for heart failure; HR, hazard ratio; MI, myocardial infarction; pt-yrs, patient-years; RRR, relative risk reduction
