Type 2 & other diabetes

Comparative efficacy of sodium‐glucose co‐transporter‐2 inhibitors, glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists and non‐steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists in chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes: A systematic review and network meta‐analysis

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomised trials

Authors' conclusion

SGLT-2is were associated with better cardiorenal protection than GLP-1RAs and nsMRAs in patients with CKD and T2D.

Further pooled results

OutcomeRR (95% CI)P value
Heart failure hospitalization (HFH)SGLT-2isvs GLP-1RAsRisk reduced by 31%0.69 (0.55–0.88)P = 0.002
Heart failure hospitalization (HFH)SGLT-2isvs nsMRAsRisk reduced by 22%0.78 (0.63–0.95)P = 0.016

Other secondary outcomes (CV death, all-cause death, stroke, MI)

SGLT-2is did not significantly reduce other secondary outcomes vs GLP-1RAs and non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (nsMRAs)
