A sample of 9642 participants will be followed for 5 years and 5 months. A random-effects model meta-analysis, pooling hazard ratios from previous RCTs, was conducted using R software to inform the predictive model. The background CV event rates from the placebo arms of previous RCTs with semaglutide were matched with the pre-adjudicated assumptions of the SOUL trial to create the predictive model.
