  1. SGLT2i: sodium–glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor; DPP4i: Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor; SD: standardized difference; IPT: Inverse probability of treatment; ACE: Angiotensin converting enzyme; ARB: Angiotensin II receptor blockers; CCB: calcium channel blocker; StD: Standard Deviation; HF: Heart Failure; GLP-1RA: glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist
  2. aFor ease of interpretation, the denominator of the DPP4i and GLP-1RA arms are weighted down to the SGLT2i group
  3. bStandardized differences are expressed in percentage points. Values greater than 10% imply a meaningful difference in the patient characteristic. After IPTW weighting, there were no differences that exceeded this threshold
  4. cInclude angiotensin receptor-neprilysin Inhibitors and hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channel blockers
