Two-year event rates for the composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or ischemic stroke in patients stratified by renal function and cardiovascular disease status. Patients are categorized dichotomously into moderate-to-severe renal impairment (egfr 50 ml/min/1.73m 2 ) or not (egfr >50 ml/min/1.73m 2 ); with or without a prior history of established cardiovascular disease.

Relationship between egfr and the risk of the composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or ischemic stroke The solid lines represent the adjusted point estimates for the risk of the composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, MI, or ischemic stroke by egfr, presented as ml/min/1.73m 2 ; black represents all patients, red represents patients assigned to saxagliptin, and blue represents patients assigned to placebo. The y-axis represents the log hazard ratio of the composite outcome. The red dotted line represents the reference level of egfr 86 ml/min/1.73m 2. The cubic spline function was adjusted for age, sex, current tobacco use, and history of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, established cardiovascular disease, and heart failure.

Patients are categorized according to baseline renal function as normal or mildly impaired (egfr > 50 ml/min/1.73m 2 ; N=13,916) or moderate-tosevere renal impairment (egfr 50 ml/min/1.73m 2 ; N=2576). Patients are categorized according to baseline renal function as normal or mildly impaired (egfr > 50 ml/min/1.73m 2 ; N=13,916) or moderate-to-severe renal impairment (egfr 50 ml/min/1.73m 2 ; N=2576). Shown are Kaplan-Meier (KM) rate estimates of each cardiovascular endpoint through 2 years in saxagliptin (S) and placebo (P) arms, respectively.
