A high hemoglobin glycation index (HGI) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level are associated with greater inflammatory status, and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors can suppress inflammation. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between HGI and the therapeutic effect of DPP-4 inhibitors.
This retrospective cohort study followed 468 patients with type 2 diabetes receiving DPP-4 inhibitor treatment for 1 year. Estimated HbA1c was calculated using a linear regression equation derived from another 2969 randomly extracted patients with type 2 diabetes based on fasting plasma glucose (FPG) level. The subjects were divided into two groups based on HGI (HGI = observed HbA1c - estimated HbA1c). Mixed model repeated measures were used to compare the treatment efficacy after 1 year in patients with a low (HGI<0, n = 199) and high HGI (HGI≧0, n = 269).
There were no significant group differences in mean changes of FPG after 1 year (-12.8 and -13.4 mg/dL in the low and high HGI groups, respectively). However, the patients with a high HGI had a significantly greater reduction in HbA1c from baseline compared to those with a low HGI (-1.9 versus -0.3% [-20.8 versus -3.3 mmol/mol]). Improvements in glycemic control were statistically significantly associated with the tested DPP-4 inhibitors in the high HGI group (-2.4, -1.4, -1.2 and -2.2% [-26.2, -15.3, -13.1 and -24.0 mmol/mol] for vildagliptin, linagliptin, saxagliptin and sitagliptin, respectively) but not in the low HGI group.
The HGI index derived from FPG and HbA1c may be able to identify who will have a better response to DPP-4 inhibitors.
高血红蛋白糖化指数(HGI)和糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)水平与更高的炎症状态相关,而二肽基肽酶-4(DPP-4)抑制剂可抑制炎症。我们旨在评估HGI与DPP-4抑制剂治疗效果之间的关系。
这项回顾性队列研究对468例接受DPP-4抑制剂治疗1年的2型糖尿病患者进行了随访。根据空腹血糖(FPG)水平,使用从另外2969例随机抽取的2型糖尿病患者中得出的线性回归方程计算估计的HbA1c。根据HGI(HGI = 观察到的HbA1c - 估计的HbA1c)将受试者分为两组。采用混合模型重复测量法比较1年后低HGI组(HGI<0,n = 199)和高HGI组(HGI≧0,n = 269)患者的治疗效果。
1年后FPG的平均变化在两组之间无显著差异(低HGI组和高HGI组分别为-12.8和-13.4 mg/dL)。然而,与低HGI患者相比,高HGI患者的HbA1c从基线的降低幅度明显更大(-1.9%对-0.3% [-20.8对-3.3 mmol/mol])。在高HGI组中,血糖控制的改善与所测试的DPP-4抑制剂在统计学上显著相关(维格列汀、利格列汀、沙格列汀和西格列汀分别为-2.4%、-1.4%、-1.2%和-2.2% [-26.2、-15.3、-13.1和-24.0 mmol/mol]),而在低HGI组中则不然。
由FPG和HbA1c得出的HGI指数可能能够识别出谁对DPP-4抑制剂的反应更好。
