Comparative cardiovascular and renal outcomes of Liraglutide versus Dulaglutide in Asian type 2 diabetes patients.

ABSTRACT: Given the limited head-to-head comparison of cardiovascular and renal outcomes between liraglutide and dulaglutide, our study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes between dulaglutide and liraglutide in a real-world setting. In this new-user design, comparative and retrospective cohort study, patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with prescription for GLP-1RAs from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2022 (n = 8,278) were included. Primary outcome was composite cardiovascular outcomes which was composed of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and non-fatal ischemic stroke. The composite renal outcome was also interested, including new macroalbuminuria, doubling of serum creatinine, worsening of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and progression to dialysis.
