  1. Stratification according to renal function was performed at the baseline visit, as follows: (1) “normal renal function” stratum if eGFR ≥60 ml/min/1.73m2 or (2) “impaired renal function” stratum if eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73m2
  2. MI myocardial infarction, PCI percutaneous coronary intervention, CABG coronary-artery bypass grafting, HF heart failure, PAD peripheral artery disease, AFib atrial fibrillation, eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate, ACS acute coronary syndrome, SBP systolic blood pressure, DBP diastolic blood pressure, ACEi/ARBs angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers, UACR urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio
  3. *eGFR at randomization, that occurred 9 (7–13) days after the baseline visit
