Risk of New-onset Stroke in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes with Chronic Kidney Disease on Sodium-glucose Co-transporter-2 Inhibitor Users
This study aimed to examine the association between the use of SGLT2 inhibitors and NOS risk in patients with T2D and CKD. We conducted a nationwide retrospective cohort study using data from the Taiwan Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service database for the years 2004 to 2019. The primary outcome was the risk of incident stroke, which was estimated using hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We used multiple Cox regression modeling to analyze the association between SGLT2 inhibitor use and the risk of stroke in patients with T2D and CKD. In a cohort of 113,710 patients with T2D and CKD who were u...

There is a Decreased Risk of Hospitalization from Heart Failure in Type II Diabetics Initiated on a SGLT2 Inhibitor When Compared to a GLP-1 Receptor Agonist
Dr. Huang Clinical question: Determine the cardiovascular risk outcome in type II diabetic patients initiated on an sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2)  inhibitor versus a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. Background: Various studies have suggested that several SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists may improve cardiac outcomes—myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalization for heart failure, and cardiovascular death. Current guidelines recommend using either an SGLT2 inhibitor or GLP-1 receptor agonist for patients with type II diabetes and cardiovascular disease. However, there has been no st...

Major adverse cardiovascular and limb events in people with diabetes treated with GLP-1 receptor agonists vs SGLT2 inhibitors
Conclusions/interpretationIn people with diabetes, GLP1RA use was associated with significantly reduced risks of MALE compared with SGLT2i within the first 2 years after initiation, especially among people with diabetic neuropathy.Graphical abstract

Effect of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter Inhibitors on Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events and Hospitalization for Heart Failure in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Atrial Fibrillation
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have been shown to lower cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and high cardiovascular risks. Here, we aimed to evaluate the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), a composite of cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction, or ischemic stroke and hospitalization for heart failure in patients with T2DM and atrial fibrillation (AF). Using the Korean National Health Insurance Service database, we identified 40,268 patients with T2DM and AF who were newly prescribed oral hypoglycemic drugs ...

Cardiovascular Benefits With Favorable Renal, Amputation and Hypoglycemic Outcomes of SGLT-2 Inhibitors in Type 2 Diabetes From the Asian Perspective: A Population-Based Cohort Study and Systematic Review
ConclusionAmong Asian patients with T2D, SGLT2is versus DPP4is showed benefits for several clinical outcomes. More research is warranted to explore the heterogeneous treatment effects of SGLT2is and DPP4is by race/ethnicity.

Comparative Effects of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitor and Thiazolidinedione Treatment on Risk of Stroke among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
CONCLUSION: In this real-world data, the risk of stroke was comparable in T2DM patients treated with SGLT-2i or TZD.PMID:35130688 | DOI:10.4093/dmj.2021.0160

Risk of Cardiovascular Events and Medical Cost of Dapagliflozin and Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitors
This study compared dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor, and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i) with regard to cardiovascular (CV) event incidence and direct medical costs during type 2 diabetes treatment. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using national health insurance claims data from September 1, 2014, to June 30, 2018, of patients in Korea. Patients who were prescribed dapagliflozin and DPP-4i for the first time were included. The primary outcome was the incidence of a composite of major adverse CV events (MACEs)—nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or in-hospital ...

Cardiovascular Safety of Sodium Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors as Add-on to Metformin Monotherapy in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Conclusion: SGLT2 inhibitors can be a good second-line drug to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular diseases compared with DPP-4 inhibitors or sulfonylureas in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. PMID: 33120439 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

CNS Summit 2017 Abstracts of Poster Presentations
Conclusion: This novel technology discriminates and quantifies subtle differences in behavior and neurological impairments in subjects afflicted with neurological injury/disease. KINARM assessments can be incorporated into multi-center trials (e.g., monitoring stroke motor recovery: NCT02928393). Further studies will determine if KINARM Labs can demonstrate a clinical effect with fewer subjects over a shorter trial period. Disclosures/funding: Dr. Stephen Scott is the inventor of KINARM and CSO of BKIN Technologies.   Multiplexed mass spectrometry assay identifies neurodegeneration biomarkers in CSF Presenter: Chelsky...
