SGLT2i reduce the risk of MACE across a broad range of patients irrespective of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, diabetes, kidney function, or other major clinical characteristics at baseline.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with DM at high risk for atherosclerotic CVD, HF, or CKD in phase 3 placebo-controlled outcomes trials of SGLT2i
- Participants
- 78,607 patients11 trials
- Comparison
- SGLT2i vs placebo
- Outcome
- Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE):
- CV death
- MI
- Stroke
Methodological detailscollaborative trial-level meta-analysis, placebo-controlled trials
- Collaborative trial-level meta-analysis
- Placebo-controlled trials

HF death
- HF death HR (driver of CV death benefit)
- HR, 0.68 [95% CI, 0.46-1.02]
Sudden cardiac death
- Sudden cardiac death HR (driver of CV death benefit)
- HR, 0.86 [95% CI, 0.78-0.95]
CV death benefit by albuminuria (subgroup)
- Generally consistent across subgroups; possibly more apparent with albuminuria
- P for interaction = 0.02
