  1. Overall incidence in the pooled population was 4.6 % for primary MACE, 2.2 % for subset MACE, 3.2 % for SMQ MACE, and 8.4 % for broad CV
  2. CI confidence interval, CV cardiovascular, MACE major adverse cardiovascular events, SMQ MACE standardized Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities query for MACE
  3. aPrimary MACE included CV mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome, and urgent revascularization procedures
  4. bSubset MACE included CV mortality, myocardial infarction, and stroke only
  5. cSMQ MACE included myocardial infarction, central nervous system hemorrhages, and cerebrovascular accidents
  6. dBroad CV included CV mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome, urgent revascularization procedures, arrhythmia, heart failure, or mechanical-related events
