Article Synopsis
- A retrospective study in Israel evaluated the prescribing patterns of SGLT2 inhibitors for type 2 diabetes between 2017 and 2023, highlighting significant disparities in access to treatment.
- Of the 32,742 eligible patients, only 53% received a prescription, with delays linked to factors like age, ethnicity, and various health issues, while quicker access was related to male gender and higher socioeconomic status.
- The findings emphasize the need for systemic improvements in healthcare, education, and alert systems to address these prescription disparities, despite the presence of universal health coverage.
Aims: The aims of the current study were to determine the distribution of aetiologies for the drug-induced syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) in hospitalized patients, and to characterize them according to the different drug groups.
Methods: A single-centre retrospective study was carried out, including all patients diagnosed with SIADH in a large community hospital and tertiary centre between 1 January 2007 and 1 January 2013 who were treated with drugs known to be associated with SIADH. Two physicians reviewed every patient's medical file for predetermined relevant clinical data.
