  • CVD = cardiovascular disease; HR = hazard ratio; MI = myocardial infarction.

  • a Hazard ratios with matching P values compare hazards in type 2 diabetes detected by opportunistic targeted screening with those in clinically diagnosed type 2 diabetes, unadjusted and adjusted for age, sex, and the following baseline characteristics: CVD, systolic blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, and plasma creatinine.

  • b Some patients had multiple events.

  • c Nonfatal MI, nonfatal stroke, heart failure, ischemic heart disease, transient cerebral ischemia, or peripheral arterial disease.
