Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a retrospective database study which includes administrative medical and pharmacy claims linked with clinical and laboratory measurements for patients in the US, to evaluate the effectiveness of once-weekly semaglutide 2.4 mg in reducing the risk of CV and other obesity-related clinical outcomes.
