ABSTRACT: Introduction
The REWIND study demonstrated a cardiovascular (CV) benefit of dulaglutide treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with or without established cardiovascular disease (CVD). The current study aims to describe similarities and differences between characteristics of patients with T2D in France and the REWIND population.Methods
A retrospective, observational study was conducted in France using primary care IQVIA electronic medical records. Patients aged ≥ 18 years with at least one clinical visit and/or glucose-lowering agent prescription in 2019 were identified. The percentages of patients aged ≥ 50 years with established CVD, aged ≥ 55 years with subclinical CVD or aged ≥ 60 years with multiple CV risk factors based on REWIND definitions were calculated.Results
A total of 63,927 patients with T2D were included. Mean age was 67 years, 93% were aged ≥ 50 years and 58% were male. The median time since T2D diagnosis was 5.6 years, mean glycated hemoglobin was 7.1% and mean body mass index was 30.4 kg/m2. Of the patients included in the current study, 59.4% fulfilled REWIND CV criteria; 12.4% of patients were ≥ 50 years old with established CVD; 9.7% of patients were aged ≥ 55 years with subclinical vascular disease and 44.7% were aged ≥ 60 years with ≥ 2 CV risk factors.Conclusion
Almost 60% of this primary care French cohort with T2D fulfilled key REWIND CV criteria, with a lower percentage of patients having established CVD than REWIND participants.
