Relationship between Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists and Cardiovascular Disease in Chronic Respiratory Disease and Diabetes.

The purpose of this paper is to assess the effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) on stroke or heart disease in patients having chronic respiratory disease and diabetes (CD) with underlying diseases related to COVID-19. From 1998 to 2019, we adjusted competing risk by assessing the effect of GLP-1RAs on stroke or heart disease in a CD cohort after propensity matching based on the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. We also used the time-dependent method to examine the results.
