Importance: Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have been shown to have benefits when used in patients with heart failure. The comparative outcomes of SGLT2 inhibitors relative to each other has not been well defined and may impact medication selection.
Objective: To determine the comparative outcomes of empagliflozin and dapagliflozin on reducing the composite of all-cause mortality and hospitalizations in patients with heart failure.

Aim: There are limited data to evaluate hospitalization for heart failure (hHF) in non-Hispanic Black (hereafter Black) or non-Hispanic White (hereafter White) individuals without previous hHF. Our goal was to evaluate the risk of hHF among Black versus White patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) who were initially prescribed empagliflozin using real-world data.
Methods: This multicentre retrospective cohort study included participants aged ≥18 years who had T2DM, were either Black or White, had no previous hHF, and were prescribed empagliflozin between August 2014 and December 2019.

Hospitalization for acute heart failure (HF) represents an important opportunity for initiation and up-titration of guideline-directed medical therapy. This study aimed to determine whether sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2I) use is safe in patients hospitalized for acute HF and whether its use is associated with improved clinical outcomes. We conducted a single-center, retrospective cohort study of adults hospitalized for acute HF with any ejection fraction and separated them into 2 matched groups based on inpatient SGLT2I use.

Background: Empagliflozin has been proposed as a treatment for COVID-19 on the basis of its anti-inflammatory, metabolic, and haemodynamic effects. The RECOVERY trial aimed to assess its safety and efficacy in patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19.
Methods: In the randomised, controlled, open-label RECOVERY trial, several possible treatments are compared with usual care in patients hospitalised with COVID-19.

Objective: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) increases dementia risk, but clear evidence to recommend interventions that can mitigate that risk remains lacking. This population-based retrospective cohort study aimed to determine whether new use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors compared with dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors was associated with lower dementia risk.
Research Design And Methods: Ontario residents aged ≥66 years who were new users of an SGLT2 inhibitor or a DPP-4 inhibitor from 1 July 2016 to 31 March 2021 entered the cohort.
