This post hoc analysis examines potential associations between severe hypoglycaemia and CV events and death.Methods: We analysed time to first major adverse cardiovascular event ([MACE] CV death, non‐fatal myocardial infarction or non‐fatal stroke), CV death and all‐cause death, comparing patients with/without severe hypoglycaemia, and adjusted for different periods of follow‐up and randomised treatment (time‐dependent covariate Cox regression).Results: A total of 267 patients experienced severe hypoglycaemia (liraglutide n = 114, placebo n = 153; rate ratio 0.69; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.51 to
