Text: After five years, the change in the glomerular filtration rate was -17. 5 ml per minute per 1. 73 m2 (where the minus sign denotes a decrement) in the telmisartan-treated subjects, as compared with -15. 0 ml per minute per 1. 73 m2 in the enalapril-treated subjects ; the treatment difference was thus -2. 6 ml per minute per 1. 73 m2 (95 percent confidence interval, -7. 1 to 2. 0 ml per minute per 1. 73 m2) [corrected] The lower boundary of the confidence interval, in favor of enalapril, was greater than the predefined margin of -10. 0 ml per minute per 1. 73 m2, indicating that telmisartan was not inferior to enalapril.
