Key clinical point: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) use in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is associated with a significantly lower risk for all-cause and cause-specific death compared with dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor (DPP4i) use.
Major finding: Patients receiving SGLT2i vs DPP4i had a lower risk for all-cause death (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 0.66; P < .001), cardiovascular death (aHR 0.68; P < .001), cancer death (aHR 0.73; P = .003), and noncancer and nonvascular death (aHR 0.62; P < .001).
Study details: This nationwide retrospective cohort study matched patients with T2D who initiated SGLT2i (n = 53,264) with those who initiated DPP4i (n = 53,264) using propensity score matching.
