  1. p values were calculated by Fisher’s exact test with no adjustment for multiple comparisons. Hypoglycemia was reported by site investigators. The upper limit of normal for the alanine aminotransferase was25 U/L and for aspartate aminotransferase was 22 U/L
  2. eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate in ml/min/1.73 m2, Inter. p p value for interaction between eGFR strata and treatment allocation for each outcome in a logistic regression model
