HOMA2-S is a computer model that uses fasting plasma insulin and glucose concentrations to estimate insulin sensitivity (%S) as percentages of a normal reference population (normal young adults). The normal reference populations were set at 100%. Least Squares (LS) means of change from baseline were calculated using a mixed-effects model for repeated measures (MMRM) with treatment, country, visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects and baseline as a covariate.

  12. Change From Baseline to 26 Weeks in the EuroQol 5

    Time frame · Baseline, 26 weeks

    Registry description

    The European Quality of Life - 5 dimensions (EQ-5D) questionnaire is a generic, multidimensional, health-related, quality-of-life instrument. It consists of 2 parts: the first part assesses 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) that have 3 possible levels of response (no problem, some problem, or extreme problem). These dimensions are converted into a weighted health-state Index Score. The EQ-5D United Kingdom (UK) score ranges from -0.59 to 1.0, where a score of 1.0 indicates perfect health and negative values are valued as worse than dead. The second part of the questionnaire consists of a visual analog scale (VAS) on which the participants rated their perceived health state on that day from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health). Least Squares (LS) means of change from baseline were calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and adjusted by treatment, country, and baseline.

  14. Change From Baseline to 26 Weeks in the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire Status (DTSQs) Version

    Time frame · Baseline, 26 weeks

    Registry description

    The Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire status version (DTSQs) is used to assess participant treatment satisfaction at each study visit. The questionnaire consists of 8 items, 6 of which (1, and 4 through 8) assess treatment satisfaction. Each item is rated on a 7-point Likert scale. Scores from the 6 treatment satisfaction items are summed to a Total Treatment Satisfaction Score, which ranges from 0 (very dissatisfied) to 36 (very satisfied). The DTSQ change version (DTSQc) was not collected at 26 weeks. Least Squares (LS) means of change from baseline were calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with country and treatment as fixed effects and baseline score as a covariate.

  15. Change From Baseline to 52 Weeks in the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire Status (DTSQs) and Change (DTSQc) Versions

    Time frame · Baseline, 52 weeks

    Registry description

    The Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire status (DTSQs) and change (DTSQc) versions are used to assess participant treatment satisfaction at each study visit and relative change in satisfaction from baseline, respectively. Both questionnaires consist of 8 items, 6 of which (1, and 4 through 8) assess treatment satisfaction. Each item is rated on a 7-point Likert scale. The change version has the same 8 items as the status version with a small alteration of the wording of Item 7. Scores from the 6 treatment satisfaction items are summed to a Total Treatment Satisfaction Score, which ranges from 0 (very dissatisfied) to 36 (very satisfied) for the DTSQs and from -18 (much less satisfied) to +18 (much more satisfied) for the DTSQc. Least Squares (LS) means of change from baseline were calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with country and treatment as fixed effects and baseline score as a covariate.

  16. Change From Baseline to 26 Weeks in the Impact of Weight on Activities of Daily Living

    Time frame · Baseline, 26 weeks

    Registry description

    The Impact of Weight on Activities of Daily Living (renamed the Ability to Perform Physical Activities of Daily Living \[APPADL\]) questionnaire contains 7 items that assess how difficult it is for participants to engage in certain activities considered to be integral to normal daily life, such as walking, standing and climbing stairs. Items are scored on a 5-point numeric rating scale where 5 = "not at all difficult" and 1 = "unable to do". The individual scores from all 7 items are summed and a single total score is calculated and may range between 7 and 35. A higher score indicates better ability to perform activities of daily living. Least Squares (LS) means of change from baseline were calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with country and treatment as fixed effects and baseline as a covariate.

  18. Change From Baseline to 26 Weeks on the Impact of Weight on Self-Perception

    Time frame · Baseline, 26 weeks

    Registry description

    The Impact of Weight on Self-Perception (IW-SP) questionnaire contains 3 items that assess how often the participants' body weight affects how happy they are with their appearance and how often they feel self-conscious when out in public. Items are scored on a 5-point numeric rating scale where 5 = never and 1 = always. A single total score is calculated by summing the scores for all 3 items. Total score ranges between 3 and 15, where a higher score is indicative of better self-perception. Least Squares (LS) means of change from baseline were calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with country and treatment as fixed effects and baseline as a covariate.

  20. Number of Participants With Adjudicated Cardiovascular Events at 52 Weeks

    Time frame · Baseline through 52 weeks

    Registry description

    Information on cardiovascular (CV) risk factors was collected at baseline. Data on any new CV event was prospectively collected using a CV event electronic case report form. At prespecified visits, participants were asked about any new CV event since the previous inquiry. Deaths and nonfatal cardiovascular adverse events (AEs) were adjudicated by an external committee of physicians with cardiology expertise. Nonfatal cardiovascular AEs to be adjudicated included myocardial infarction, hospitalization for unstable angina, hospitalization for heart failure, coronary interventions, and cerebrovascular events, including cerebrovascular accident (stroke) and transient ischemic attack. The number of participants with CV events confirmed by adjudication is summarized cumulatively at 52 weeks. Serious and all other non-serious adverse events regardless of causality are summarized in the Reported Adverse Events module.
