Absence of study drug 6 months pre index, and continuous enrolment for at least 12 months post index were required.

The proportion of individuals with an incident follow-up cardiovascular event composite was lower in the AML\/OM cohort versus the AML\/BEN and LDC AML\/ARB cohorts (5.94% versus 7.85% and 16.89% respectively). Adjusted Cox models suggested that patients initiated on LDC AML\/ARB (hazard ratio 1.35; p &lt; 0.001), but not on AML\/BEN, were at greater risk of a follow-up cardiovascular event (composite) compared with AML\/OM. Adjusted generalized linear models suggested that mean follow-up per-member-per-month overall costs were higher in the AML\/BEN (cost ratio = 1.169; p &lt; 0.001; unadjusted mean cost US$780) and LDC AML\/ARB cohorts (cost ratio = 1.286; p &lt; 0.001; unadjusted mean cost US$1394) compared with the AML\/OM cohort (unadjusted mean cost US$740).
