Figure Lengend Snippet: Patient attrition flowchart. Patient attrition flowcharts for A CDM and B Komodo Healthcare Map analyses. Patient numbers for the semaglutide and DPP-4i groups can be found on the left and right side of each panel, respectively. a Inverse probability of treatment weighting was applied using stabilized average treatment effect weights derived by conducting a logistic regression including the variables age, sex, race/ethnicity, geographic region, index year, Charlson Comorbidity Index, diabetes complications severity index, type of ASCVD history, glucose-lowering therapy, HbA1c, body mass index, and number of all-cause hospitalizations in the baseline period and 60 days before the index date.
