Authors' conclusion

Among patients with diabetes who underwent PCI, preprocedural use of SGLT2i correlated with a lower risk of CA-AKI.

Study context

Population
Patients with diabetes undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) enrolled in the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Cardiovascular Consortium PCI registry, January 2022 to September 2023; patients on dialysis and those without post-PCI serum creatinine excludedpatients with diabetes who underwent PCI
Participants
13,804 patients
Exposure
SGLT2i users were compared with nonusers with respect to contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) outcomes
  • SGLT2i usersn = 2,186
  • nonusersn = 11,618reference

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

CA-AKI (increase in serum creatinine of ≥0.5 mg/dL following PCI)

Observational data: associations, not effects.

CA-AKI in higher-risk subgroups

The protective effect of SGLT2i was preserved among higher-risk subgroups
