Key clinical point: Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) did not increase the risk for hospitalization for critical limb ischemia (CLI) and lower extremity amputation (LEA) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) or dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4i).
Major finding: SGLT2i was not associated with a higher risk for hospitalization for CLI and LEA compared with either GLP-1RA (hazard ratio [HR] 1.13; 95% CI 0.77-1.65 and HR 1.27; 95% CI 0.63-2.55, respectively) or DPP4i (HR 1.06; 95% CI 0.75-1.50 and HR 0.80; 95% CI 0.42-1.53, respectively).
Study details: Findings are from a population-based retrospective cohort study that propensity score-matched patients with T2D who initiated SGLT2i (n = 13,378) and those who initiated GLP-1RA (n = 13,378).
Disclosures: This study was partly supported by the research grant from National Taiwan University Hospital Yunlin Branch and Ministry of Science and Technology, Taiwan. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
