BackgroundThe global incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) continues to increase annually, and persons with T2D typically require regular changes in pharmacologic invention for achieving glycemic targets. Healthcare providers must consider multiple factors when selecting a 2nd line. This retrospective cohort study evaluates impact of two common anti-diabetes medication classes (dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists) on the well-known composite 3-point major cardiovascular events outcome (3P-MACE, comprised of cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or nonfatal stroke). No significant impact was found. Persons with T2D face increased risks of many adverse cardiovascular outcomes. This study duplicated common inclusion and exclusion criteria to create an observational cohort from a large healthcare system's electronic health records for testing DPP-4i and GLP-1RA against each other to evaluate impact on likelihood to develop 3P-MACE.MethodsThe statistical model and analyses were based on a cohort of 5,518 adult patients with T2D who were prescribed metformin and either DPP-4i or GLP-1RA to control glycemia during clinic visits between January 2005 and September 2019. A Cox proportional hazards model was developed from the cohort to predict the 3P-MACE endpoint.ResultsThe model did not show a meaningful difference in likelihood of developing the 3P-MACE outcome between patients treated with DPP-4i compared to patients treated with GLP-1RA.ConclusionsPrior history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) did not impact this small difference between the two classes of drug.
