Glucose Tolerance: The STOP-NIDDM Trial Disease and Hypertension in Patients With Impaired Glucose Tolerance: The STOP-NIDDM Trial
Three hundred forty-one patients (24%) discontinued their participation prematurely, 211 in the acarbose-treated group and 130 in the placebo group; these patients were also followed up for outcome parameters. Decreasing postprandial hyperglycemia with acarbose was associated with a 49% relative risk reduction in the development of cardiovascular events (hazard ratio [HR], 0.51; 95% confidence interval [CI]; 0.28-0.95; P=.03) and a 2.5% absolute risk reduction
