Study design details

Main study objective

To assess the effectiveness of finerenone by estimating the risk of a composite cardiovascular outcome (i.e., first occurrence of fatal or nonfatal acute myocardial infarction or hospitalisation for heart failure) in patients with CKD and T2D initiating finerenone compared with that in patients with CKD and T2D not using finerenone.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes:
Time to the first occurrence of composite cardiovascular outcome.

Secodary Outcomes:
Time to the first occurrence of an inpatient hospital diagnosis of fatal or nonfatal acute myocardial infarction.
Time to the first occurrence of an inpatient hospitalisation with a primary diagnosis of heart failure.
Time to the first occurrence of an inpatient hospital or emergency department diagnosis of heart failure for participants without a history of heart failure.
Time to occurrence of specific Urine Albumin-Creatine Ratio (UACR) decline thresholds.
Time to the first occurrence of a hospitalisation or emergency department visit with a diagnosis code for hyperkalaemia.
