Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients surviving stroke, approximately 15% and 60% exhibit concurrent diabetes mellitus and overweight/obesity, respectively, necessitating heightened secondary prevention efforts. Despite glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) demonstrating improved outcomes for those with diabetes mellitus or obesity, their underutilization persists among eligible individuals. This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the impact of GLP-1 RAs on stroke risk. The findings aim to optimize the implementation of this therapeutic strategy in patients surviving stroke with diabetes mellitus or obesity. METHODS Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, we systematically reviewed MEDLINE and Scopus until 15 November 2023. Eligible studies included randomized cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs) with individuals, with or without type 2 diabetes, randomized to either GLP-1 RA or placebo. The outcomes were total strokes, non-fatal strokes, and fatal strokes. Analyses were conducted using RevMan 5.4.1. RESULTS Among 1369 screened studies, 11 were eligible, encompassing 82,140 participants (34.6% women) with a cumulative follow-up of 247,596 person-years. In the GLP-1 RAs group, the stroke rate was significantly lower compared to placebo (RR: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.77-0.93; NNT: 200), showing no heterogeneity or interaction with administration frequency (daily vs weekly). In addition, the GLP-1 RAs group exhibited a significantly lower rate of non-fatal strokes compared to placebo (RR: 0.87, 95% CI: 0.79-0.95; NNT: 250), with no heterogeneity or interaction based on administration frequency, route (oral vs subcutaneous), or diabetes presence. CONCLUSION In this meta-analysis of 11 CVOTs with 82,140 participants, GLP-1 RAs demonstrated a 16% relative reduction in stroke risk compared to placebo. This finding may increase implementation of GLP-1 RAs by stroke specialists in individuals with stroke and comorbid diabetes mellitus or obesity.

Analysing the influence of dapagliflozin on urinary tract infection vulnerability and kidney injury in mice infected with uropathogenic Escherichia coli. Diabetes Obes Metab 2024. [PMID: 39344841 DOI: 10.1111/dom.15981] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2024] [Revised: 09/06/2024] [Accepted: 09/13/2024] [Indexed: 10/01/2024]
Abstract
AIM Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have revolutionized clinical medicine, but their association with urinary tract infection (UTI) risk remains debated. This study investigates the influence of dapagliflozin on UTI outcomes, focusing on kidney injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS Female non-diabetic C57BL/6J and C3H/HeOuJ mice, along with diabetic db/db mice, were orally administered dapagliflozin (1 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg) for 7 days before transurethral uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) infection. Mice were killed either 24 h after UTI or after six additional days of dapagliflozin treatment. UPEC titers were enumerated, and kidney histopathology, injury, fibrosis and function were assessed. RESULTS Vehicle- and dapagliflozin-treated C57BL/6J mice exhibited similar urine and bladder UPEC titers, with minimal kidney burden 24 h after UTI. In C3H/HeOuJ mice, UPEC burden was comparable in vehicle- and 1 mg/kg dapagliflozin-treated groups both 24 h and 7 days after UTI. However, C3H/HeOuJ mice receiving 10 mg/kg dapagliflozin had increased UPEC titers in the urine, bladder and kidneys at both endpoints. Kidney injury and fibrosis markers, as well as kidney function, were similar in vehicle and dapagliflozin groups. In diabetic db/db mice receiving dapagliflozin, UPEC strain UTI89 titers were reduced 7 days after UTI compared to vehicle-treated mice, but no difference in UPEC titers was observed when mice were infected with UPEC strain CFT073. Kidney injury and fibrosis markers and kidney function remained similar across treatment groups. CONCLUSIONS Dapagliflozin does not consistently influence UTI susceptibility and shows limited impact on kidney injury or fibrosis, suggesting SGLT2 inhibitors have minimal effects on UTI-related kidney complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A comprehensive network meta-analysis comparing the effects of individual sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on patients with and without comorbidities including diabetes mellitus (DM), heart failure (HF), and chronic kidney disease (CKD) has not been previously conducted. METHODS We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and ClinicalTrials.gov for randomized controlled trials up to March 28, 2023. Network meta-analysis using a random-effects model was conducted to calculate risk ratios (RRs). Risk of Bias tool 2.0 was used to assess bias, and CINeMA to assess the certainty of evidence. In the subgroup analysis, the SGLT2 inhibitors were classified into highly (dapagliflozin, empagliflozin, and ertugliflozin) and less selective SGLT2 inhibitors (canagliflozin and sotagliflozin). RESULTS A total of fourteen trials with 75,334 patients were analyzed. Among these, 40,956 had taken SGLT2 inhibitors and 34,378 had not. One of the main results with particular findings was empagliflozin users had a significantly lower risk of all-cause death compared to dapagliflozin users in DM population (RR: 0.81, 95% CI 0.69-0.96). In HF population, sotagliflozin users had a borderline significantly lower risk of CV death or hospitalization for HF (HHF) than dapagliflozin users (RR: 0.90, 95% CI 0.80-1.01). In non-HF population, those who used canagliflozin had a significantly lower risk of CV death or HHF compared with those who used dapagliflozin (RR: 0.75, 95% CI 0.58-0.98). At last, for HF patients, those who used less selective SGLT2 inhibitors had a significantly lower risk of MACEs compared to those who used highly selective SGLT2 inhibitors (RR: 0.75, 95% CI 0.62-0.90). CONCLUSIONS Our network meta-analysis revealed that empagliflozin users with diabetes experienced a lower risk of dying from any cause than those using dapagliflozin. Additionally, canagliflozin users demonstrated a reduced risk of cardiovascular death or HHF compared to dapagliflozin users in those without HF. In HF patients, less selective SGLT2 inhibitors showed superior CV composite outcomes, even surpassing the performance of highly selective SGLT2 inhibitors.

Abstract
Diabetes-related foot disease (DFD) is a widely feared complication among people who live with diabetes. In Australia and globally, rates of disability, cardio-vascular disease, lower extremity amputation, and mortality are significantly increased in patients with DFD. In order to understand and prevent these outcomes, we analyse the common pathogenetic processes of neuropathy, arterial disease, and infection. The review then summarises important management considerations through the interdisciplinary lens. Using Australian and international guidelines, we offer a stepwise, evidence-based practical approach to the care of patients with DFD.

Safety and Effectiveness of Empagliflozin in Korean Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Results from a Nationwide Post-Marketing Surveillance. Diabetes Metab J 2023; 47:82-91. [PMID: 35722684 PMCID: PMC9925151 DOI: 10.4093/dmj.2021.0356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2021] [Accepted: 03/18/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of empagliflozin in routine clinical settings, we collected and assessed the clinical profiles of Korean patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS This was a post-marketing surveillance study of empagliflozin 10 and 25 mg. Information on adverse events and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) was collected as safety data sets. Available effectiveness outcomes, including glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level, fasting plasma glucose, body weight, and blood pressure, were assessed. RESULTS The incidence rate of ADRs was 5.14% in the safety dataset (n=3,231). Pollakiuria, pruritis genital, and weight loss were the most common ADRs. ADRs of special interest accounted for only 1.18%, and there were no serious events that led to mortality or hospitalization. In the effectiveness data set (n=2,567), empagliflozin significantly reduced the mean HbA1c level and body weight during the study period by -0.68%±1.39% and -1.91±3.37 kg (both P<0.0001), respectively. In addition, shorter disease duration, absence of dyslipidemia, and higher baseline HbA1c levels were identified as the clinical features characteristic of a "responder" to empagliflozin therapy. CONCLUSION Empagliflozin is a safe and potent glucose-lowering drug in routine use among Korean patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is expected to have better glycemic efficacy in Korean patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Diabetes Ther 2022; 13:35-49. [PMID: 35704167 PMCID: PMC9240164 DOI: 10.1007/s13300-022-01276-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2022] [Accepted: 05/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
The management of type 2 diabetes (T2D) involves decreasing plasma glucose levels and reducing cardiovascular and microvascular complications. Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), defined as presence of albuminuria, impaired glomerular filtration, or both, is an insidious microvascular complication of diabetes that generates a substantial personal and clinical burden. The progressive reduction in renal function and increased albuminuria results in an increase of cardiovascular events. Thus, patients with DKD require exhaustive control of the associated cardiovascular risk factors. People with diabetes and renal impairment have fewer options of antidiabetic drugs because of contraindications, adverse effects, or altered pharmacokinetics. Sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) reduce blood glucose concentrations by blocking the uptake of sodium and glucose in the proximal tubule and promoting glycosuria, and these agents now have an important role in the management of T2D. The results of several cardiovascular outcomes trials suggested that SGLT2i are associated with improvements in renal endpoints in addition to their reduction in cardiovascular events and mortality, which represents a major advance in the care of this population. The dedicated kidney outcomes trials have confirmed the renoprotective action of SGLT2i across different glomerular filtration and albuminuria values, even in patients with non-diabetic chronic kidney disease. Notably, this improvement in kidney function may indirectly benefit cardiac function through multifaceted interorgan cross talk, which can break the cardiorenal vicious circle linked to T2D. In this article, we briefly review the different mechanisms of action that may explain the renal beneficial effects of SGLT2i and disclose the results of the key renal outcome trials and the subsequent update of related clinical guidelines.
