Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists and dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors (GLP-1 agents) may be protective in heart failure (HF). We set out to determine whether GLP-1 agent use is associated with HF risk in diabetics.
In this retrospective cohort study of members of a large health system, we identified >19,000 adult diabetics from January 1, 2000, to July 1, 2012. GLP-1 agent users were matched 1:2 to control subjects with the use of propensity matching based on age, race, sex, coronary disease, HF, diabetes duration, and number of antidiabetic medications. The association of GLP-1 agents with time to HF hospitalization was tested with multivariable Cox regression. All-cause hospitalization and mortality were secondary end points. We identified 1,426 users of GLP-1 agents and 2,798 control subjects. Both were similar except for angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blocker use, number of antidiabetic medications, and age. There were 199 hospitalizations, of which 128 were for HF, and 114 deaths. GLP-1 agents were associated with reduced risk of HF hospitalization (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 0.51, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.34-0.77; P = .002), all-cause hospitalization (aHR 0.54, 95% CI 0.38-0.74; P = .001), and death (aHR 0.31, 95% CI 0.18-0.53; P = .001).
GLP-1 agents may reduce the risk of HF events in diabetics.
胰高血糖素样肽-1(GLP-1)激动剂和二肽基肽酶4(DPP-4)抑制剂(GLP-1类药物)可能对心力衰竭(HF)具有保护作用。我们旨在确定使用GLP-1类药物是否与糖尿病患者发生HF的风险相关。
在这项针对一个大型医疗系统成员的回顾性队列研究中,我们识别出了从2000年1月1日至2012年7月1日期间的19000多名成年糖尿病患者。基于年龄、种族、性别、冠心病、HF、糖尿病病程和抗糖尿病药物数量,使用倾向匹配法将GLP-1类药物使用者与对照受试者按1:2进行匹配。采用多变量Cox回归检验GLP-1类药物与HF住院时间的关联。全因住院和死亡率为次要终点。我们识别出1426名GLP-1类药物使用者和2798名对照受试者。除血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂/血管紧张素受体阻滞剂的使用、抗糖尿病药物数量和年龄外,两者相似。共有199次住院,其中128次为HF住院,114例死亡。GLP-1类药物与HF住院风险降低相关(校正风险比[aHR]0.51,95%置信区间[CI]0.34 - 0.77;P = .002)、全因住院风险降低相关(aHR 0.54,95% CI 0.38 - 0.74;P = .001)以及死亡风险降低相关(aHR 0.31,95% CI 0.18 - 0.53;P = .001)。
GLP-1类药物可能降低糖尿病患者发生HF事件的风险。
