- Number of Participants With First Occurrence of Any Component of the Composite of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (Cardiovascular [CV] Death, Non-fatal Myocardial Infarction [MI] or Non-fatal Stroke) During the Time Period for Follow-up of CV Events [ Time Frame: From randomization until the End-of-Treatment visit or the last date on which endpoints were able to be assessed (up to 4.25 years/average of 3.51 years) ]CV death=death due to a CV cause, which included but was not limited to deaths resulting from stroke, arrhythmia, sudden death (witnessed/unwitnessed), MI, heart failure, pulmonary embolism, peripheral arterial disease, or complications of a CV procedure. Deaths not clearly attributable to non-CV causes are considered to be CV deaths. Acute MI=evidence of myocardial necrosis in a clinical setting consistent with myocardial ischemia. Prior MI diagnosed post-randomization (e.g., silent MI)=the development of new pathological Q waves with/without symptoms OR imaging evidence of a region of loss of viable myocardium that is thinned and fails to contract, in the absence of a non-ischemic cause (pre-event imaging data required for verification of new abnormality), OR pathological findings of a healed/healing MI. Stroke=presence of a new focal neurologic deficit thought to be of vascular origin, with signs/symptoms lasting >24 hours or results in death (in <24 hours).
- Number of Participants With First Occurrence of Any Event in the Composite of Major Coronary Events (Coronary Heart Disease [CHD] Death, Non-fatal MI, or Urgent Coronary Revascularization [CR] for MI) During the Time Period for Follow-up (FU) of CV Events [ Time Frame: From randomization until the End-of-Treatment visit or the last date on which endpoints were able to be assessed (up to 4.25 years/average of 3.51 years) ]CHD death=occurrence of a fatal MI, death caused by documented cardiac arrest, death resulting from heart failure in a participant with known CHD, death from other forms of acute/chronic CHD, unwitnessed death of unknown origin, or sudden death. Acute MI=evidence of myocardial necrosis in a clinical setting consistent with myocardial ischemia. Prior MI diagnosed post-randomization (e.g.,silent MI)=the development of new pathological Q waves with/without symptoms OR imaging evidence of a region of loss of viable myocardium that is thinned and fails to contract, in the absence of a non-ischemic cause (pre-event imaging data required for verification of new abnormality), OR pathological findings of a healed/healing MI. Urgent CR for MI=ischemic discomfort at rest that prompted CR (percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI: any attempt at CR even if not successful] or coronary artery bypass graft) during the same hospitalization or resulted in hospital transfer for the purpose of CR.
- Number of Participants With First Occurrence of Any Event in the Composite of Total Coronary Events (CHD Death, Non-fatal MI, Hospitalization for Unstable Angina, or Any Coronary Revascularization Procedure) During Time Period for FU of CV Events [ Time Frame: From randomization until the End-of-Treatment visit or the last date on which endpoints were able to be assessed (up to 4.25 years/average of 3.51 years) ]CHD death, acute MI, and prior MI are defined in the previous secondary endpoint (major coronary events). Hospitalization for unstable angina=one of the following, but not fulfilling the criteria for MI: ischemic discomfort at rest associated with electrocardiogram (ECG) changes leading to hospitalization; ischemic discomfort at rest regardless of ECG changes leading to hospitalization and revascularization during the same admission; ischemic discomfort at rest in hospital associated with ECG changes; ischemic discomfort at rest in hospital without ECG changes resulting in revascularization during the same admission. NOTE: The event was not considered to be unstable angina if, after invasive/non-invasive testing or other diagnostic testing, the discomfort is found not to be caused by myocardial ischemia.
- Number of Participants With CV Death During the Time Period for Follow-up of CV Events [ Time Frame: From randomization until the End-of-Treatment visit or the last date on which endpoints were able to be assessed (up to 4.25 years/average of 3.51 years) ]CV death is defined as a death due to a CV cause, which included but was not limited to deaths resulting from stroke, arrhythmia, sudden death (witnessed/unwitnessed), MI, heart failure, pulmonary embolism, peripheral arterial disease, or complications of a CV procedure. Deaths not clearly attributable to non-CV causes are considered to be CV deaths.
- Number of Participants With First Occurrence of MI (Fatal/Non-fatal) During the Time Period for Follow-up of CV Events [ Time Frame: From randomization until the End-of-Treatment visit or the last date on which endpoints were able to be assessed (up to 4.25 years/average of 3.51 years) ]Acute MI is defined as evidence of myocardial necrosis in a clinical setting consistent with myocardial ischemia. Prior MI diagnosed post-randomization (e.g., silent MI)=the development of new pathological Q waves with/without symptoms OR imaging evidence of a region of loss of viable myocardium that is thinned and fails to contract, in the absence of a non-ischemic cause (pre-event imaging data required for verification of new abnormality), OR pathological findings of a healed/healing MI.
- Number of Participants With First Occurrence of Stroke (Fatal/Non-fatal) During the Time Period for Follow-up of CV Events [ Time Frame: From randomization until the End-of-Treatment visit or the last date on which endpoints were able to be assessed (up to 4.25 years/average of 3.51 years) ]Stroke is defined as the presence of a new focal neurologic deficit thought to be of vascular origin, with signs/symptoms lasting >24 hours or results in death (in <24 hours).
- Number of Participants With First Occurrence of Any Component of the Composite of All-cause Mortality, Non-fatal MI, or Non-fatal Stroke During the Time Period for Follow-up of CV Events [ Time Frame: From randomization until the End-of-Treatment visit or the last date on which endpoints were able to be assessed (up to 4.25 years/average of 3.51 years) ]Acute MI is defined as evidence of myocardial necrosis in a clinical setting consistent with myocardial ischemia. Prior MI diagnosed post-randomization (e.g., silent MI)=the development of new pathological Q waves with/without symptoms OR imaging evidence of a region of loss of viable myocardium that is thinned and fails to contract, in the absence of a non-ischemic cause (pre-event imaging data required for verification of new abnormality), OR pathological findings of a healed/healing MI. Stroke=presence of a new focal neurologic deficit thought to be of vascular origin, with signs/symptoms lasting >24 hours or results in death (in <24 hours).
- Number of Participants With All-cause Mortality During the Time Period for Vital Status [ Time Frame: From randomization until death or study completion (up to 4.49 years/average of 3.65 years) ]The number of participants with all-cause mortality was assessed.
