Preoperative Metformin Exposure and Postoperative Outcomes in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes

To the Editor We read with great interest the article titled “Association Between Preoperative Metformin Exposure and Postoperative Outcomes in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes.” This retrospective study shows an association between metformin prescriptions provided to individuals with type 2 diabetes before a major surgical procedure and reduced risk-adjusted mortality and readmission after the operation. In general, it is a well-designed study; however, we would like to address some questions concerning the content of this article.
