Combination blood pressure lowering therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes: messages from the ADVANCE trial
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Action in Diabetes and Vascular disease: preterAx and diamicroN Controlled Evaluation (ADVANCE) trial investigated the effects of intensive blood pressure (BP) lowering using a fixed combination of perindopril-indapamide versus placebo in type 2 diabetes (T2D). The study showed that combination perindopril-indapamide had significant benefits in reducing cardiovascular, renal, and mortality events, with consistent relative risk reductions across different patient subgroups. Secondary analyses of ADVANCE have identified novel risk markers in T2D including cessation of BP lowering therapy, absent peripheral pulses and cardiac biomarkers to name a few. ADVANCE also shed light on practical aspects of hypertension management, including the limitations of office BP, tolerability of combination BP lowering therapy across the range of BP levels and the interpretation of changes in serum creatinine after treatment initiation. This review article summarizes the findings of ADVANCE and its subsequent substudies, which have been foundational in our understanding of BP management and the use of combination BP lowering therapy in T2D.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
