Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease associated with numerous complications, including cardiovascular diseases, nephropathy, and neuropathy. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, a class of novel antidiabetic agents, have demonstrated promising therapeutic effects beyond glycemic control, with potential benefits extending to the cardiovascular and renal systems. Recently, research has increasingly focused on exploring the potential role of SGLT-2 inhibitors in preventing dementia.

Prediabetes is the first stage of a continuum that extends through the diagnosis of clinical type 2 diabetes towards long-standing diabetes with multiple comorbidities. The diagnosis of prediabetes provides an opportunity to interrupt the diabetes continuum at an early stage to ensure long-term optimization of clinical outcomes. All people with prediabetes should receive intervention to improve their lifestyles (quality of diet and level of physical activity), as this has been proven beyond doubt to reduce substantially the risk of conversion to diabetes.

Aims: Two prerequisites must be met for the precision treatment approach to be beneficial for treated individuals. First, there must be treatment heterogeneity; second, in case of treatment heterogeneity, clinical predictors to identify people who would benefit from one treatment more than from others must be available. There is an established meta-regression approach to assess these two prerequisites that relies on measuring the variability of a clinical outcome after treatment in placebo-controlled randomised trials.

Background: Combining a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) and an sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) improved cardiovascular (and renal) prognosis compared to either monotherapy in several post-hoc exploratory analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) versus placebo carried out in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and high cardiovascular/renal risk. The aim of the present work is to verify if such a benefit of the combined therapy is also present in real-life clinical practice.
Methods: An extended search of the literature was performed to select observational retrospective studies that compared cardiovascular and/or renal outcomes in patients with T2DM treated with a GLP-1RA/SGLT2i combination versus patients treated with either GLP-1RA monotherapy or SGLT2i monotherapy, in addition to standard of care therapy.
