Abstract

SGLT2 inhibitors reduced the risk of a kidney-specific composite outcome by 26% compared to GLP-1RAs and by 36% compared to DPP-4 inhibitors.

  • SGLT2 inhibitors are associated with a significant reduction in (MACE) by 18% compared to DPP-4 inhibitors.
  • GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) also reduce the risk of MACE by 18% compared to DPP-4 inhibitors.
  • The risk of hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) was significantly reduced by 28% with SGLT2 inhibitors compared to GLP-1RAs.
  • SGLT2 inhibitors lowered the risk of HHF by 41% compared to DPP-4 inhibitors.
  • These findings support the use of SGLT2 inhibitors as a preferred treatment option for patients with .
