over the Full Randomized Period (Part 1). They illustrate the apparent difference in
treatment effect by gender. As seen in Figure 4, for HF hospitalizations alone, treatment
and control women have similar outcomes. However, as seen in Figure 5, control women
had an increased early mortality creating a competing risk for HF hospitalizations i.e.,
fewer control women were alive to have HF hospitalizations. Figure 6 examines Freedom
from HF Hospitalization or Death and indicates a non-significant trend favoring women in
the treatment group.
