Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors, Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists, and Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitors, and Risk of Hospitalization.

ABSTRACT: Clinical trials have demonstrated cardiovascular benefits of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA). However, their impact on all-cause and cause-specific hospitalization in real-world practice remains unclear. We identified patients with diabetes who initiated SGLT2i (n = 2,492), GLP-1RA (n = 1,982), or dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4i, n = 2,492) between 2015 and 2018 in Geisinger Health System. We examined all-cause hospitalization (net benefit indicator) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) hospitalization (CV benefit indicator), as well as non-CVD hospitalization (harm indicator), using Cox proportional hazards regression. During a median follow-up of 16 months, SGLT2i and GLP-1RA were associated with lower risk o
