Timeframe: Within 6 months from index date

Population: All index dates computed from patients with eGFR data included in the study were considered for this analysis. Some patients were prescribed for more than one study drug and thus we can observe more number of index dates than number of patients.

Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated based on the age at index date and the latest serum creatinine at index date (or during the observation period) using formula eGFR millilitre/minute/1.73 meter\^2 (mL/min/1.73 m\^2) = 194 × (Creatinine)\^-1.094 × (age in year)\^-0.287 (× 0.739 if female). Analysis was done based on index dates used for comparing drugs between the classes.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Within 6 months from index date

Population: All index dates computed from patients with eGFR data, included in the study were considered for this analysis. Some patients were prescribed for more than one study drug and thus we can observe more number of index dates than number of patients.

This outcome observes number of index dates for each class of OAD as per RI classes. RI classes were defined based on eGFR values. Results observed were based on index dates used for comparing drugs between the classes.

Outcome measures

Outcome measures
Measure
Group G1
n=3868 Participants
The group 1 (G1) contains patients (prescribed for OADs) with renal function stage as normal. Normal renal function stage is defined based on serum creatinine value for males between 0.6 milligram per deciLitre and 1.2 milligram per deciLitre and that for females is between 0.4 milligram per deciLitre and 0.9 milligram per deciLitre.
Group G2
n=11188 Participants
The group 2 (G2) contains patients (prescribed for OADs) with renal function stage as mild. Mild renal function stage is defined based on serum creatinine value for males between 1.2 milligram per deciLitre and 1.4 milligram per deciLitre and that for females is between 0.9 milligram per deciLitre and 1.2 milligram per deciLitre.
Group G3
n=7776 Participants
The group 3 (G3) contains patients (prescribed for OADs) with renal function stage as moderate. Moderate renal function stage is defined based on serum creatinine value for males between 1.4 milligram per deciLitre and 2.4 milligram per deciLitre and that for females is between 1.2 milligram per deciLitre and 2.0 milligram per deciLitre.
Group G4+
n=2554 Participants
The group 4+ (G4+) contains patients (prescribed for OADs) with renal function stage as severe or end stage kidney disease (ESKD). Severe or ESKD renal function stage is defined based on serum creatinine value greater than 2.4 milligram per deciLitre for males and greater than 2.0 milligram per deciLitre for females.
