This study aimed to investigate whether metformin can affect risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients.
T2D patients newly diagnosed during 1999-2005 were enrolled from the reimbursement database of Taiwan's National Health Insurance system and followed up to 31 December 2011. Analyses were conducted in an unmatched cohort (92,272 ever-users and 10,697 never-users of metformin) and a propensity score (PS) matched pair cohort (10,697 ever-users and 10,697 never-users). Cox regression incorporated into the inverse probability of treatment weighting using the PS was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs).
In the unmatched cohort, 2573 never-users and 13,840 ever-users developed COPD with respective incidences of 5994.64 and 3393.19 per 100,000 person-years. The overall HR was 0.560 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.537-0.584). HRs for the first (<25.27months), second (25.27-55.97months) and third (>55.97months) tertiles of cumulative duration were 1.021 (0.975-1.070), 0.575 (0.548-0.603) and 0.265 (0.252-0.280), respectively. Analyses of the matched cohort showed an overall HR of 0.643 (0.605-0.682), with HRs of 1.212 (1.122-1.309), 0.631 (0.578-0.689) and 0.305 (0.273-0.340) for the respective tertiles.
A reduced risk of COPD is observed in metformin users with T2D.
本研究旨在探讨二甲双胍是否会影响 2 型糖尿病(T2D)患者患慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)的风险。
从台湾全民健康保险理赔资料库中招募 1999 年至 2005 年期间新诊断为 T2D 的患者,并随访至 2011 年 12 月 31 日。在未匹配队列(92272 例二甲双胍既往使用者和 10697 例从未使用者)和倾向评分(PS)匹配对队列(10697 例二甲双胍既往使用者和 10697 例从未使用者)中进行分析。采用纳入 PS 的治疗逆概率加权的 Cox 回归来估计风险比(HRs)。
在未匹配队列中,2573 例从未使用者和 13840 例二甲双胍既往使用者发生 COPD,相应的发病率为 5994.64 和 3393.19/100000 人年。总体 HR 为 0.560(95%置信区间[CI]:0.537-0.584)。累积持续时间的前(<25.27 个月)、中(25.27-55.97 个月)和后(>55.97 个月)三分位的 HR 分别为 1.021(0.975-1.070)、0.575(0.548-0.603)和 0.265(0.252-0.280)。匹配队列的分析显示,总体 HR 为 0.643(0.605-0.682),相应三分位的 HR 分别为 1.212(1.122-1.309)、0.631(0.578-0.689)和 0.305(0.273-0.340)。
在患有 T2D 的二甲双胍使用者中,COPD 的发病风险降低。
