Abstract

The hazard ratio estimate for with canagliflozin vs non-SGLT2i was 0.39.

  • Canagliflozin is associated with a significantly lower risk of hospitalization for heart failure compared to non-SGLT2i.
  • The hazard ratio for below-knee lower extremity amputation with canagliflozin vs non-SGLT2i was 0.75 in the on-treatment analysis, but 1.01 in the intent-to-treat analysis.
  • Similar effects for hospitalization for heart failure and below-knee lower extremity amputation were observed in patients with established cardiovascular disease.
  • No consistent differences were noted between canagliflozin and other SGLT2i regarding these outcomes.
