Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the presence of antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus in healthcare workers versus a general patient population in an Austrian medical center.
- It involved testing 812 healthcare workers and 8451 patients over multiple time periods during the pandemic to measure the seroprevalence of the antibodies.
- Results showed similar rates of antibodies (around 12%) in both groups, indicating that healthcare workers and patients had comparable exposure to the virus throughout the pandemic.
Purpose: To assess real-world data on the clinical implementation of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) in cardiovascular patients and to investigate barriers to prescribe these agents.
Methods: Patients presenting with coronary artery disease (CAD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) between 01/2014 and 04/2020 were included in the present analysis and followed prospectively. All first-time prescriptions of SGLT2i and GLP-1RA were identified.
