Semaglutide use in people with obesity and type 2 diabetes from real‐world utilization data: An analysis of the All of US Program

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Consistent with clinical trial findings, this real-world data analysis showed that semaglutide was well tolerated and that, for a large population, it effectively reduced BMI, body weight and HbA1c, albeit to smaller magnitudes than observed in clinical trials. These findings provide valuable insights into real-world experience and the long-term effectiveness of semaglutide.
