Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to the First Occurrence of Any of the Following Adjudicated Components of the Primary Composite Endpoint (3-point MACE): CV Death (Including Fatal Stroke and Fatal MI), Non-fatal MI (Excluding Silent MI), and Non-fatal Stroke.From randomisation to individual end of observation, up to 4.6 years

Time to the first occurrence of any of the following adjudicated components of the primary composite endpoint (3-point major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE)): cardiovascular (CV) death (including fatal stroke and fatal myocardial infarction (MI)), non-fatal MI (excluding silent MI), and non-fatal stroke.

Percentage of patients with the event are presented.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With Heart Failure Requiring Hospitalisation (Adjudicated)From randomisation to individual end of observation, up to 4.6 years

Heart failure requiring hospitalisation (adjudicated). Percentage of patients with the event are presented.

Percentage of Participants With New Onset AlbuminuriaFrom randomisation to individual end of observation, up to 4.6 years

New onset albuminuria defined as urine albumin / creatinine ratio (UACR) ≥30 mg/g.

Percentage of patients with the event are presented.

Percentage of Participants With the Composite of All Events Adjudicated (4-point MACE): CV Death (Including Fatal Stroke and Fatal MI), Non-fatal MI (Excluding Silent MI), Non-fatal Stroke and Hospitalization for Unstable Angina PectorisFrom randomisation to individual end of observation, up to 4.6 years

The composite of all events adjudicated (4-point MACE): cardiovascular death (including fatal stroke and fatal myocardial infarction), non-fatal myocardial infarction (excluding silent MI), non-fatal stroke and hospitalization for unstable angina pectoris.This is a key secondary endpoint of the trial.

Percentage of patients with the event are presented.

Percentage of Participants With Silent MIFrom randomisation to individual end of observation, up to 4.6 years

Silent MI; defined as presence in the ECG of:

* Any Q-wave in leads V2-V3 ≥0.02 seconds or QS complex in leads V2 and V3

* Q-wave ≥0.03 seconds and ≥0.1 mV deep or QS complex in leads I, II, aVL, aVF, or V4-V6 in any two leads of a contiguous lead grouping (I, aVL, V6; V4-V6; II, III, and aVF)

* R-wave ≥0.04 seconds in V1-V2 and R/S ≥1 with a concordant positive T-wave in the absence of a conduction defect.

It was also required that there had been no adjudicated and confirmed event of either acute MI, hospitalisation for unstable angina, coronary revascularisation procedures or stent thrombosis following randomisation up to and including the date of the specified ECG measurement.

Percentage of patients with the event are presented.

Percentage of Participants With New Onset MacroalbuminuriaFrom randomisation to individual end of observation, up to 4.6 years

New onset macroalbuminuria defined as UACR \>300 mg/g. Percentage of patients with the event are presented.

Percentage of Participants With the Composite Microvascular OutcomeFrom randomisation to individual end of observation, up to 4.6 years

Composite microvascular outcome defined as:

* Initiation of retinal photocoagulation

* Vitreous haemorrhage

* Diabetes-related blindness, or

* New or worsening nephropathy defined as:

* New onset of macroalbuminuria; or

* Doubling of serum creatinine level accompanied by an eGFR (based on modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) formula) ≤45 mL/min/1.73m2; or

* Initiation of continuous renal replacement therapy, or

* Death due to renal disease. Percentage of patients with the event are presented.
