Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) associated with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2Is) compared to dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP-4Is) for patients with type 2 diabetes.
- Using a large database, researchers matched users of SGLT2Is and DPP-4Is and analyzed VTE risk through Cox proportional hazard models.
- Results indicated that SGLT2Is did not significantly increase the risk of VTE compared to DPP-4Is, suggesting a potentially lower risk, which provides some reassurance regarding the safety of SGLT2Is.
