Gla-300 and IDeg switchers were propensity score-matched using baseline demographic and clinical characteristics. Outcomes were HbA1c change and goal attainment (among patients with HbA1c captured at follow-up), and hypoglycaemia with fixed follow-up (intention-to-treat [ITT]; 6 months) and variable follow-up (on-treatment [OT]; to discontinuation or 6 months).<h4>Results</h4>Each matched cohort comprised 1592 patients. The mean decrease in HbA1c and HbA1c goal (<7.0% [53 mmol/mol] and <8.0% [64 mmol/mol]) attainment rates were similar for Gla-300 (n = 742) and IDeg (n = 727) switchers. Using fixed follow-up (ITT method), hypoglycaemia incidence decreased significantly from baseline with Gla-300 (all hypoglycaemia: 15.6% to 12.7%; P = .006; hypoglycaemia associated with inpatient/emergency department [ED] encounter: 5.3% to 3.5%; P = .007), but not with IDeg. After adjusting for baseline hypoglycaemia, no significant differences in hypoglycaemia incidence and event rate were found at follow-up (ITT) for Gla-300 vs IDeg. Using variable follow-up (OT), hypoglycaemia incidence was similar in both groups, but Gla-300 switchers had a lower inpatient/ED hypoglycaemia event rate at follow-up (adjusted rate ratio 0.56; P = .016).<h4>Conclusions</h4>In a real-world setting, switching from Gla-100 or IDet to Gla-300 or IDeg was associated with similar improvements in glycaemic control and hypoglycaemia in adult patients with T2D."],"journal":["Diabetes, obesity & metabolism"],"pagination":["2148-2158"],"full_dataset_link":["https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC6099352"],"repository":["biostudies-literature"],"pubmed_title":["Clinical outcomes in real-world patients with type 2 diabetes switching from first- to second-generation basal insulin analogues: Comparative effectiveness of insulin glargine 300 units/mL and insulin degludec in the DELIVER D+ cohort study."],"pmcid":["PMC6099352"],"pubmed_authors":["Preblick R","Sullivan SD","Blonde L","Zhou FL","Roussel R","Bosnyak Z","Gupta RA","Westerbacka J","Bailey TS"],"additional_accession":[]},"is_claimable":false,"name":"Clinical outcomes in real-world patients with type 2 diabetes switching from first- to second-generation basal insulin analogues: Comparative effectiveness of insulin glargine 300 units/mL and insulin degludec in the DELIVER D+ cohort study.","description":"<h4>Aims</h4>To compare clinical outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) switching from insulin glargine 100 units/mL (Gla-100) or insulin detemir (IDet) to insulin glargine 300 units/mL (Gla-300) or insulin degludec (IDeg).<h4>Materials and methods</h4>We conducted a retrospective, observational study of electronic medical records for Gla-300/IDeg adult switchers (March 1, 2015 to January 31, 2017) with active records for 12-month baseline (glycated haemoglobin [HbA1c] used a 6-month baseline period) and 6-month follow-up periods.
