Dapagliflozin and cardiovascular mortality and disease outcomes in a population with type 2 diabetes similar to that of the DECLARE-TIMI 58 trial: A nationwide observational study.


ABSTRACT:

Aims

To investigate cardiovascular (CV) safety and event rates for dapagliflozin versus other glucose-lowering drugs (GLDs) in a real-world type 2 diabetes population after applying the main inclusion criteria and outcomes from the DECLARE-TIMI 58 study.

Methods

Patients with new initiation of dapagliflozin and/or other GLDs were identified in Swedish nationwide healthcare registries for the period 2013 to 2016. Patients were included if they met the main DECLARE-TIMI 58 inclusion criteria: age ?40?years and established CV disease or presence of multiple-risk factors, e.g. men aged ?55?years and women aged ?60?years with hypertension or dyslipidaemia. Propensity scores for the likelihood of dapagliflozin initiation were calculated, then 1:3 matching was carried out. DECLARE-TIMI 58 outcomes were hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) or CV-specific mortality, and major adverse CV events (MACE; CV-specific mortality, myocardial infarction, or stroke). Cox survival models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs).

Results

After matching, a total of 28?408 new-users of dapagliflozin and/or other GLDs were identified, forming the population for the present study (henceforth referred to as the DECLARE-like cohort. The mean age of this cohort was 66?years, and 34% had established CV disease. Dapagliflozin was associated with 21% lower risk of HHF or CV mortality versus other GLDs (HR 0.79, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.69-0.92) and had no significant association with MACE (HR 0.90, 95% CI 0.79-1.03). HHF and CV mortality risks, separately, were lower at HR 0.79 (95% CI 0.67-0.93) and HR 0.75 (95% CI 0.57-0.97), respectively. Non-significant associations were seen for myocardial infarction and stroke: HR 0.91 (95% CI 0.74-1.11) and HR 1.06 (95% CI 0.87-1.30), respectively.

Conclusion

In a real-world population similar to those included in the DECLARE-TIMI 58 study, dapagliflozin was safe with regard to CV outcomes and resulted in lower event rates of HHF and CV mortality versus other GLDs.
