Abstract
Abstract
Background and aims
The EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial included patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and established atherosclerotic cardiovascular (CV) disease. Empagliflozin reduced the risk of 3-point major adverse CV events (MACE; composite of CV death, myocardial infarction [MI], or stroke) by 14%, CV death by 38% and hospitalisation for heart failure (HF) by 35% vs placebo in analyses of time to first event. We assessed the effect of empagliflozin on all-cause hospitalisation in post-hoc analyses of all (first and recurrent) events.
Materials and methods
Patients were randomised to receive empagliflozin 10 mg, empagliflozin 25 mg, or placebo in addition to standard of care. We assessed the effects of empagliflozin pooled vs placebo on first event of all-cause hospitalisation using Cox regression and all (first and recurrent) events of all-cause hospitalisation using a negative binomial model.
Results
A total of 7020 patients were treated (4687 empagliflozin; 2333 placebo, mean [SD] age 63 [9] years, 71% male, 47% with history of MI, 23% with history of stroke, 10% with HF). In this analysis, 1725/4687 (36.8%) empagliflozin patients and 925/2333 (39.6%) placebo patients experienced an event leading to hospitalisation. The adjusted hazard ratio (HR; 95% CI) vs placebo for first all-cause hospitalisation using the Cox regression model was 0.89 (0.82, 0.96; p=0.0033; Figure); In analyses of all (first and recurrent) hospitalisation events, there were 3168 events in the empagliflozin group and 1863 in the placebo group. The adjusted event rate ratio (95% CI) vs placebo was 0.83 (0.76, 0.91; p<0.0001; Figure).
Conclusion
In the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial, risk reductions with empagliflozin were seen in both first and all hospitalisation events and were numerically more favourable in analyses of all events vs analyses of first events. These analyses expand on the favourable CV effects of empagliflozin by also showing a reduction in the total burden of hospitalisation events in patients with T2D and established CV disease.

Abstract
Abstract
Background/Introduction
CARMELINA was a randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial designed to demonstrate the cardiovascular (CV) safety of linagliptin in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and concomitant cardiorenal disease. Despite a particularly elevated CV risk, only limited long-term evidence from randomized controlled trials for safety and efficacy of glucose lowering medications is available for this population.
Purpose
To characterize the effects of linagliptin on net CV disease and hospitalization burden in this population.
Methods
People with T2D and either i) urine albumin creatinine ratio (UACR) >30 mg/g with concomitant CV disease, or ii) estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <45 ml/min/1.73m2 regardless of UACR, or eGFR ≥45–75 mL/min/1.73m2 and UACR >200 mg/g, were randomized to linagliptin 5 mg or placebo q.d. in a double-blind fashion in addition to standard of care. We assessed the effects of linagliptin versus placebo on all first plus recurrent CV events and all-cause hospitalizations using a using a negative binomial model to account for within-subject correlation.
Results
A total of 6979 participants were enrolled (mean age 66 years, 63% male, eGFR 54.6 ml/min/1.73m2, median UACR 162 mg/g, 59% with history of ischemic heart disease, 27% with history of heart failure (HF)) and followed for a median of 2.2 years. Adding recurrent events increased the number of events for analysis from 5.3–57.5% across CV/HF outcomes and 112.4% for hospitalizations. In analyses of first plus recurrent events, the event rate ratio (95% CI) with linagliptin versus placebo was 0.98 (0.82, 1.16; p=0.78) for 3-point MACE, 1.03 (0.79, 1.35; p=0.83) for myocardial infarction 1.03 (0.83, 1.29; p=0.77) for myocardial infarction plus revascularization, 0.89 (0.65, 1.22; p=0.48) for stroke, 0.94 (0.70, 1.27; p=0.69) for stroke plus TIA, 0.94 (0.75, 1.20; p=0.63) for hospitalized HF, 0.92 (0.77, 1.11; p=0.40) for the composite of CV death or hospitalized HF, and 0.96 (0.87, 1.06; p=0.40) for all-cause hospitalization (Figure).
Conclusion
Linagliptin showed similar risk of either first or recurrent CV or hospitalization events compared with placebo in patients with T2D and cardiorenal disease. These data support the CV safety of linagliptin and, considering the high volume of recurrent events, underscores the significant CV disease burden experienced by patients with T2D and cardiorenal disease

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In type 2 diabetes, the temporal proximity of an atherosclerotic cardiovascular (CV) event can impact prognosis, but whether timing influences sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor effects is unknown. We explored the association of time from last qualifying CV event before randomisation (myocardial infarction [MI], stroke, coronary artery disease or peripheral arterial disease) with CV outcomes and benefit of empagliflozin (EMPA) in EMPA-REG OUTCOME.
Methods
Patients (pts) were randomised to EMPA 10 mg, 25 mg or placebo and followed for 3.1 years (median). Risk of major adverse CV events (3P MACE: CV death, MI, stroke), CV death or hospitalisation for heart failure (HHF) were evaluated using Cox regression in subgroups of ≤1/>1 year since last qualifying CV event. Qualifying event stratification was possible in 6796 (97%) pts.
Results
In the overall population, N=6796 (4547 EMPA and 2249 placebo pts), median (Q1, Q3) time from last CV event was 3.8 (1.5–7.6) years. Overall, 1214 (EMPA 841; placebo 373) and 5582 (EMPA 3706; placebo 1876) pts had a last qualifying CV event ≤1 and >1 year, respectively. Pts with more recent events had similar risk for CV outcomes compared with pts >1 year from qualifying event (Figure). Moreover, the benefit of EMPA on CV outcomes was consistent between pts enrolled ≤1 or >1 year from the qualifying CV event (all p-interaction >0.05; Figure).
Conclusion
Although most pts had a qualifying CV event >1 year before randomisation in EMPA-REG OUTCOME, the benefits of EMPA appear to extend to pts with more recent CV events.

Abstract
A case of a 44-year-old patient with recurrent deep venous thrombosis (DVT) caused by congenital dysgenesis of the inferior vena cava (IVC) in coincidence with heterozygous factor V Leiden mutation is presented. The IVC malformation was a fortuitous finding because the vascular malformation of the collateral draining thoracic veins were suspected to be a malignant mass in chest X-ray. This vascular abnormality is a rare finding but recent epidemiological research suggests that there may be an association between the congenital absence of the IVC and DVT. In our case, the patient is even at higher risk combining the malformation probably affecting venous blood flow and the hypercoagulabilic state by heterozygous presence of the factor V Leidenmutation.
