IMPORTANCE: Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (RAs) have demonstrated cardiorenal benefits in patients with type 2 diabetes, but their effectiveness in patients with MGUS remains unexplored. OBJECTIVE: To assess the effectiveness of GLP-1 RAs for primary prevention of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in patients with MGUS and diabetes. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This retrospective cohort study used a propensity score-matched analysis of data from the TriNetX Global Database, encompassing patients diagnosed with diabetes and MGUS between January 1, 2018, and January 13, 2023. Patients with prior heart failure (HF), ischemic heart disease, coronary revascularization, or stroke or transient ischemic attack before MGUS diagnosis were excluded. The cohort was divided into 2 groups: GLP-1 RA users and nonusers at baseline. After 1:1 propensity score matching, GLP-1 RA users and nonusers were compared up to 5 years from the MGUS diagnosis date. Data analyses were completed January 19, 2025. EXPOSURE: GLP-1 RA use within 1 year before MGUS diagnosis. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: The primary end point was MACCE, defined as a composite of all-cause mortality, new-onset HF, acute coronary syndrome, and stroke or transient ischemic attack. Secondary end points included individual MACCE components, decompensated HF, and acute kidney injury or end-stage kidney disease. RESULTS: A total of 4871 patients with MGUS (mean [SD] age, 68.9 [10.1] years; 2366 [48.5%] male) were included (473 GLP-1 RA users and 4398 non-users). A total of 460 users were matched to 460 nonusers, with balanced characteristics (mean [SD] age, 65.0 [10.6] vs 65.1 [11.0] years; 229 [49.7%] male vs 234 [50.8%] male), including 14 patients (3.0%) vs 13 patients (2.8%) identifying as Asian, 8 (21.3%) vs 92 (20.0%) as Black or African American, 25 patients (5.4%) vs 20 patients (4.3%) as Hispanic or Latino, and 243 patients (52.8%) vs 250 patients (54.3%) as White. GLP-1 RA use was associated with a significantly lower risk of MACCE (hazard ratio [HR], 0.75; 95% CI, 0.60-0.93). Significant reductions were also observed in all-cause mortality (HR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.37-0.87), new-onset HF (HR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.54-0.90), decompensated HF (HR, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.43-0.84), and acute kidney injury or end-stage kidney disease (HR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.57-0.92). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The findings of this cohort study of GLP-1 RA use vs no use in patients with MGUS and diabetes suggest the potential of GLP-1 RA for primary prevention of MACCE. These findings warrant further investigation in prospective randomized trials.
重要性:意义未明的单克隆丙种球蛋白病(MGUS)与心血管疾病风险增加相关。胰高血糖素样肽-1(GLP-1)受体激动剂(RA)已在2型糖尿病患者中显示出心肾益处,但其在MGUS患者中的有效性仍未得到探索。 目的:评估GLP-1 RA对MGUS合并糖尿病患者主要不良心血管和脑血管事件(MACCE)一级预防的有效性。 设计、设置和参与者:这项回顾性队列研究对TriNetX全球数据库的数据进行了倾向评分匹配分析,涵盖2018年1月1日至2023年1月13日期间诊断为糖尿病和MGUS的患者。排除MGUS诊断前有心力衰竭(HF)、缺血性心脏病、冠状动脉血运重建或中风或短暂性脑缺血发作的患者。队列分为两组:基线时使用GLP-1 RA的患者和未使用者。经过1:1倾向评分匹配后,比较MGUS诊断日期起5年内使用GLP-1 RA的患者和未使用者。数据分析于2025年1月19日完成。 暴露:MGUS诊断前1年内使用GLP-1 RA。 主要结局和测量指标:主要终点是MACCE,定义为全因死亡率、新发HF、急性冠状动脉综合征以及中风或短暂性脑缺血发作的综合指标。次要终点包括MACCE的各个组成部分、失代偿性HF以及急性肾损伤或终末期肾病。 结果:共纳入4871例MGUS患者(平均[标准差]年龄,68.9[10.1]岁;2366例[48.5%]为男性)(473例GLP-1 RA使用者和4398例非使用者)。共460例使用者与460例非使用者匹配,特征均衡(平均[标准差]年龄,65.0[10.6]岁对65.1[11.0]岁;229例[49.7%]为男性对234例[50.8%]为男性),其中亚洲人14例(3.0%)对13例(2.8%),黑人或非裔美国人8例(21.3%)对92例(20.0%),西班牙裔或拉丁裔25例(5.4%)对20例(4.3%),白人243例(52.8%)对250例(54.3%)。使用GLP-1 RA与MACCE风险显著降低相关(风险比[HR],0.75;95%置信区间,0.60 - 0.93)。在全因死亡率(HR,0.57;95%置信区间,0.37 - 0.87)、新发HF(HR,0.69;95%置信区间,0.54 - 0.90)、失代偿性HF(HR,0.60;95%置信区间,0.43 - 0.84)以及急性肾损伤或终末期肾病(HR,0.73;95%置信区间,0.57 - 0.92)方面也观察到显著降低。 结论和相关性:这项对MGUS合并糖尿病患者使用与未使用GLP-1 RA的队列研究结果表明,GLP-1 RA对MACCE一级预防具有潜在作用。这些发现值得在前瞻性随机试验中进一步研究。
