Impact of baseline FIB-4 score on efpeglenatide benefits on cardiovascular outcomes in people with type 2 diabetes: a participant-level exploratory analysis of the AMPLITUDE-O trial

Cardiovasc DiabetolPublished Secondary analysis of the AMPLITUDE-O randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

In high-risk people with type 2 diabetes, the degree of liver fibrosis, as estimated by FIB-4 score, was not related to incident cardiovascular outcomes. The beneficial effect of efpeglenatide on these outcomes is independent of FIB-4 category.

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

MACE, expanded MACE, MACE or death across FIB-4 tertiles · median follow-up 1.8 years
Numerical increases in incidence of all 3 outcomes did not change significantly across FIB-4 tertiles
P for trend ≥ 0.25
Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) HR per 1 SD higher FIB-4 score
1.00 (95% CI 0.89-1.13)
Efpeglenatide's effect on all MACE outcomes did not vary across FIB-4 tertiles
all interaction p values ≥ 0.64
