Abstract

SGLT2 inhibitors were associated with a lower risk of cardiorenal disease and heart failure in 105,130 patients with type 2 diabetes.

  • Patients treated with SGLT2 inhibitors had a hazard ratio of 0.56 for developing cardiorenal disease compared to those on DPP4 inhibitors.
  • The risk of heart failure in patients using SGLT2 inhibitors was reduced, with a hazard ratio of 0.71.
  • Chronic kidney disease risk was significantly lower in the SGLT2 group, with a hazard ratio of 0.44.
  • SGLT2 inhibitors were also associated with decreased all-cause mortality (HR 0.67) and cardiovascular mortality (HR 0.61).
  • No significant differences were found for stroke (HR 0.87) and myocardial infarction (HR 0.94) between the treatment groups.
