Abstract

BACKGROUND: We compared new use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) vs. dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP4i) and the risk of cardiorenal disease, heart failure (HF) or chronic kidney disease (CKD), in type 2 diabetes patients without history of prevalent cardiovascular and renal disease, defined as cardiovascular- and renal disease (CVRD) free, managed in routine clinical practice. METHODS: In this observational cohort study, patients were identified in electronic health records in England, Germany, Japan, Norway, South Korea and Sweden, from 2012 to 2018. A total of 1 006 577 CVRD-free new users of SGLT2i or DPP4i were propensity score matched 1:1. Unadjusted Cox regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) for outcomes; cardiorenal disease, HF, CKD, stroke, myocardial infarction (MI) cardiovascular- and all-cause death. RESULTS: Baseline characteristics were well-balanced between the treatment groups (n = 105 130 in each group) with total follow up of 187 955 patient years. Patients were mean 56 years, 43% women and indexed between 2013 and 2018. The most commonly used agents were dapagliflozin (91.7% of exposure time) and sitagliptin/linagliptin (55.0%), in the SGLT2i and DPP4i groups respectively. SGLT2i was associated with lower risk of cardiorenal disease, HF, CKD, all-cause- and cardiovascular death; HR (95% CI) 0.56 (0.42-0.74), 0.71 (0.59-0.86), 0.44 (0.28-0.69), 0.67 (0.59-0.77) and 0.61 (0.44-0.85) respectively. No differences were observed for stroke (0.87 [0.69-1.09]) and MI (0.94 [0.80-1.11]). CONCLUSION: In this multinational observational study, SGLT2i was associated with lower risk of heart failure and chronic kidney disease versus DPP4i in T2D patients otherwise free from both cardiovascular and renal disease.
