Type 2 diabetes: cardiovascular and renal benefits of modern hypoglycemic agents

Findings

  • SGLT-2 inhibitors were associated with a significantly reduced risk of ASCVD, hospitalization due to heart failure (HHI), and renal events in patients with type 2 diabetes without atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), heart failure, or chronic kidney disease.
  • No significant differences were found between dapagliflozin and empagliflozin.

Why this matters

  • Conflicting data regarding the differences between individual SGLT2is; moreover, no previous study has directly compared them in terms of clinical outcomes.

Study design

  • Retrospective analysis of propensity-score matching users of dapagliflozin (921), empagliflozin (921) and DPP4is (1,842)
  • Median follow-up was 37.3, 37.1, and 55.1  months for dapagliflozin, empagliflozin and DPP4is.
  • Funding: None

Key results

  • Significantly lower incidence of composite coronary events with SGLT2is vs.DPP4is (dapagliflozin: aHR: 0.267; p = 0.002 and empagliflozin: aHR: 0.467; p = 0.030)
  • No significant difference between dapagliflozin and empagliflozin (aHR: 2.196; p = 0.156)
  • Compared to DPP4is, both SGLT2is significantly improved composite HHI and renal events (dapagliflozin: aHR:& 0.186; p = 0.001 and empagliflozin: aHR: 0.358; p = 0.007).
  • After 24 and 36  For months, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were significantly higher and HbA1c levels were significantly lower with empagliflozin than with DPP4is and dapagliflozin.

Limitations

  • Small number of cases
  • Short follow-up
  • Exclusion of patients with previous events
  • Retrospective study
  • Potential unconsidered confounding factors
