Comparing heart disease risk estimates for Orforglipron using two prediction models

Updated

Abstract

Orforglipron improves multiple cardiometabolic risk factors.

  • Previous evaluations of Orforglipron's cardiovascular benefits utilized the 2013 Pooled Cohort Equations.
  • The 2013 equations do not consider body mass index (BMI), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), or hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c).
  • The 2023 AHA PREVENT equations incorporate these additional variables for a more comprehensive assessment.
  • Re-evaluating Orforglipron's benefits using the newer equations may provide a clearer understanding of its impact.
