Metformin is the most prescribed medication for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM); there is a well-established link with the elevated incidence of gastrointestinal (GI) adverse events (AE) limiting its administration or intensification.
The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies was to evaluate the pooled incidence of GI AE related to metformin use in patients with T2DM.
PUB MED/CINAHL/Web of Science/Scopus were searched from database inception until 29.07.2024 for observational studies in English describing the frequency of GI AE in patients with T2DM treated with metformin. Random-effects meta-analyses were used to derive effect sizes: event rates.
From 7019 publications, we identified 211 potentially eligible full-text articles. Ultimately, 21 observational studies were included in the meta-analysis. The prevalence of GI AE was as follows: diarrhea 6.9% (95% CI: 0.038-0.123), bloating 6,2% (95% CI: 0.020-0.177), abdominal pain 5,3% (95% CI: 0.003-0.529), vomiting 2.4% (95%: CI 0.007-0.075), constipation 1.1% (95%: CI 0.001-0.100). The incidence of bloating (coefficient -4.46; p < 0.001), diarrhea (coefficient -1.17; p = 0.0951) abdominal pain (coefficient -2.80; p = 0.001), constipation (coefficient -5.78; p = 0.0014) and vomiting (coefficient -2.47; p < 0.001) were lower for extended release (XR) metformin than metformin immediate release (IR) formulation.
This study highlights the prevalence of GI AE in patients receiving metformin, with a diarrhea predominance, followed by bloating, diarrhea, abdominal pain, constipation, and vomiting. The incidence is lower in patients administered with XR metformin.

二甲双胍是治疗 2 型糖尿病(T2DM)最常用的药物;已有充分证据表明,其胃肠道(GI)不良事件(AE)发生率升高,限制了其使用或强化治疗。
本系统评价和观察性研究的荟萃分析旨在评估二甲双胍治疗 T2DM 患者相关 GI AE 的发生率。
从数据库建立到 2024 年 7 月 29 日,在 PUB MED/CINAHL/Web of Science/Scopus 上检索了描述接受二甲双胍治疗的 T2DM 患者 GI AE 频率的英文观察性研究。使用随机效应荟萃分析得出效应大小:事件率。
从 7019 篇文献中,我们确定了 211 篇可能符合条件的全文文章。最终,21 项观察性研究被纳入荟萃分析。GI AE 的患病率如下:腹泻 6.9%(95%CI:0.038-0.123),腹胀 6.2%(95%CI:0.020-0.177),腹痛 5.3%(95%CI:0.003-0.529),呕吐 2.4%(95%CI:0.007-0.075),便秘 1.1%(95%CI:0.001-0.100)。与普通释放(XR)二甲双胍相比,释放(XR)二甲双胍的腹胀(系数-4.46;p<0.001)、腹泻(系数-1.17;p=0.0951)、腹痛(系数-2.80;p=0.001)、便秘(系数-5.78;p=0.0014)和呕吐(系数-2.47;p<0.001)发生率较低。
本研究强调了接受二甲双胍治疗的患者中 GI AE 的患病率,以腹泻为主,其次是腹胀、腹泻、腹痛、便秘和呕吐。在接受 XR 二甲双胍治疗的患者中,发病率较低。
