A 95% confidence interval (CI) for absolute risk reduction attributed to each treatment was calculated.
Cox proportional hazard models were used to obtain adjusted hazard ratio, 95% CI, and P-values by defining high-intensity atorvastatin monotherapy as the reference arm.
Incidence of new-onset diabetes requiring medication was assessed for participants without prior diabetes history at enrolment.
