Updated

Abstract

In a study of 18,042 patients, GLP-1 receptor agonists were associated with a lower rate of compared to placebo.

  • Treatment with GLP-1 receptor agonists resulted in a risk ratio of 0.82 for major adverse kidney events, indicating a significant reduction.
  • A slightly lower incidence of all-cause mortality was observed, with a hazard ratio of 0.84, although this finding has moderate certainty.
  • The protective effect on kidney events was consistent in patients with stage 3b , showing a risk ratio of 0.78.
  • No significant differences were found in major adverse cardiovascular events or cardiovascular mortality, which may be due to insufficient statistical power.
