Study design details

• Main study objective:
  To estimate the incidence of phimosis and paraphimosis in male patients who initiated SGLT2 inhibitors (regardless of indication and restricted to a type-2 diabetes mellitus cohort) and also in type-2 diabetic male patients no exposed to SGLT2 inhibitors (background population).
• Outcomes:
  Phimosis and paraphimosis
• Data analysis plan:
  Eligible study participants were followed from study entry (i.e., initiation of an SGLT2 inhibitor in the treated cohorts or start of calendar year in the background cohort) until the first of: outcome event, death, loss to follow-up or the end of the study period. Crude incidence proportions were calculated as the ratio of: numerator: number of study participants who experienced the outcome event during follow-up denominator: number of patients at risk at the start of follow-up .To account for censoring during follow-up, incidence proportions (i.e., cumulative incidences) were also calculated using the product-limit method.
