1 Heart Failure Events and All-cause Death in New Users of SGLT-2 inhibitors vs other glucose-lowering drugs - consistent risk reduction across patient groups in 5 countries and >300,000 patients: The CVD-REAL Study Anna Norhammar1, Matthew Cavender2, Kåre Birkeland3, Kamlesh Khunti4, John Wilding5, Niklas Hammar6, Johan Bodegard7, Marcus Thuresson8, Peter Fenici9, Mikhail Kosiborod10 on behalf of the CVD-REAL Investigators and Study Group 1Karolinska Institute, Department of Medicine, Cardiology Unit, Stockholm, Sweden; 2University of North Carolina Hospitals, Chapel Hill, United States of America; 3University of Oslo and Oslo University Hospital, Oslo, Norway; 4University of Leicester, Leicester, United Kingdom; 5University of Liverpool, Liverpool, United Kingdom; 6AstraZeneca, Gothenburg, Sweden; 7AstraZeneca, Oslo, Norway; 8Statisticon AB, Uppsala, Sweden; 9AstraZeneca, Cambridge, United Kingdom; 10Saint Luke's Mid America Heart Institute and University of Missouri-Kansas City, Kansas City, United States of America

3 Background Two large RCTs have shown that sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) empagliflozin and canagliflozin reduce the risk of major adverse CV events, in a T2D diabetes population primarily with established CV disease (CVD), suggesting a class effect1,2 Presented at ADA2017 by David R. Matthew 1Zinman B et al. N Engl J Med. 2015;373: ; 2Neal B et al. N Engl J Med. 2017; DOI: /NEJMoa

4 Background (2) In CVD-REAL, a multinational, observational study with >1.3 million T2D patients, we demonstrated that SGLT-2i were associated with lower risk of death and heart failure vs other glucose- lowering drugs (GLDs) 1,2 Whether the associated benefits of SGLT-2i differ among patients with various demographic, clinical and treatment characteristics is unknown 1Kosiborod M et al. Circulation 2017;136:249–259; 2Cavender M et al. Diabetes, 2017;66(Suppl 1):A [abstract 377-OR]

5 Aim Evaluate if the association between SGLT-2i and heart failure events, all-cause death and the composite of heart failure and death is modified by demographic, clinical and treatment factors

6 Data Sources: Health records from five countries
Truven MarketScan Claims database - United States National full-population registries - Denmark National full- population registries - Norway National full-population registries - Sweden Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) and The Health Improvement Network (THIN) - United Kingdom

7 Methods Inclusion criteria
New users of SGLT-2i or new users of other GLDs Established T2D ≥18 years old >1 year historical data prior to index date Exclusion criteria Type 1 or gestational diabetes Study period with a mean follow-up time of 225 days Outcomes Heart failure events All-cause death Composite of heart failure events or death

8 Methods (2) Subgroups studied: Demographics Co-morbidities
Age (<65 years or ≥65 years), sex Co-morbidities chronic kidney disease Concomitant therapies Cardiovascular therapies: Angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB)/angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi), beta blockers, aldosterone antagonists, diuretics, statins Glucose-lowering therapies: Insulin, sulphonylureas

9 Statistical methods Non-parsimonious propensity score developed in each country to estimate the likelihood of initiating an SGLT-2i Patients matched 1:1 by propensity score In the matched cohort: Patients stratified by key-subgroups Event rates for heart failure, all-cause death and composite were calculated Cox proportional hazards models used to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for all outcomes, adjusted for baseline risk factors and treatments Meta-analysis used to pool hazard ratios from each country and obtain summary weighted point estimates

10 Patient population 1,366,731 new users of SGLT-2 inhibitor or other GLD fulfilling the eligibility criteria 164,501 SGLT-2 inhibitor 1,202,230 Other GLD 7% (11,423) excluded during 1:1 match process 87% (1,049,152) excluded during 1:1 match process 1:1 propensity match 153,078 SGLT-2 inhibitor 153,078 Other GLD Final study population
