Hospitalization for acute heart failure (HF) represents an important opportunity for initiation and up-titration of guideline-directed medical therapy. This study aimed to determine whether sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2I) use is safe in patients hospitalized for acute HF and whether its use is associated with improved clinical outcomes. We conducted a single-center, retrospective cohort study of adults hospitalized for acute HF with any ejection fraction and separated them into 2 matched groups based on inpatient SGLT2I use. The matching yielded 110 patients in the SGLT2I group and 110 patients in the control group. A total of 101 patients (91.8%) in the SGLT2I group were treated with dapagliflozin, whereas 9 (8.2%) were treated with empagliflozin. The mean age was 71 years, 37.7% were women, 70.9% were White, 22.7% were Black, and 64.1% were Hispanic or Latino. The length of stay was 10 days in the SGLT2I group and 11 days in the control group (p = 0.43). A total of 2 patients (1.8%) in the SGLT2I group and 13 patients (11.8%) in the control group died within 30 days of discharge (hazard ratio 0.15, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.03 to 0.66, p = 0.012). A total of 17 patients (15.5%) in the SGLT2I group and 11 patients (10.0%) in the control group had an all-cause readmission within 30 days (hazard ratio 1.58, 95% CI 0.74 to 3.37, p = 0.239). In addition, 11 patients (10.0%) in the SGLT2I group and 3 patients (2.7%) in the control group had an HF readmission within 30 days (hazard ratio 3.75, 95% CI 1.05 to 13.44, p = 0.042). Acute kidney injury (54.5% vs 18.2%, p <0.001) and hypotension (12.7% vs 2.7%, p = 0.005) occurred significantly more frequently in the control group. In conclusion, SGLT2I use in patients hospitalized for acute HF was associated with decreased 30-day all-cause mortality and lower rates of acute kidney injury and hypotension; however, the rate of 30-day HF readmission increased.
因急性心力衰竭(HF)住院是开始和调整指南指导的医学治疗的重要机会。本研究旨在确定钠-葡萄糖共转运蛋白 2 抑制剂(SGLT2I)在因急性 HF 住院的患者中使用是否安全,以及它的使用是否与改善临床结局相关。我们进行了一项单中心、回顾性队列研究,纳入了任何射血分数的急性 HF 住院成人患者,并根据住院期间 SGLT2I 使用情况将他们分为 2 组匹配。匹配后,SGLT2I 组有 110 例患者,对照组有 110 例患者。SGLT2I 组共有 101 例(91.8%)患者接受达格列净治疗,9 例(8.2%)患者接受恩格列净治疗。SGLT2I 组的平均年龄为 71 岁,37.7%为女性,70.9%为白人,22.7%为黑人,64.1%为西班牙裔或拉丁裔。SGLT2I 组的住院时间为 10 天,对照组为 11 天(p=0.43)。SGLT2I 组有 2 例(1.8%)患者和对照组有 13 例(11.8%)患者在出院后 30 天内死亡(风险比 0.15,95%置信区间 [CI] 0.03 至 0.66,p=0.012)。SGLT2I 组有 17 例(15.5%)患者和对照组有 11 例(10.0%)患者在 30 天内因任何原因再次入院(风险比 1.58,95%CI 0.74 至 3.37,p=0.239)。此外,SGLT2I 组有 11 例(10.0%)患者和对照组有 3 例(2.7%)患者在 30 天内心力衰竭再入院(风险比 3.75,95%CI 1.05 至 13.44,p=0.042)。急性肾损伤(54.5% vs 18.2%,p<0.001)和低血压(12.7% vs 2.7%,p=0.005)在对照组中更常见。总之,因急性 HF 住院的患者使用 SGLT2I 与 30 天全因死亡率降低以及急性肾损伤和低血压发生率降低相关;然而,HF 再入院率增加。
