ODP632 Preadmission Use Of Antidiabetic Medications And Mortality Among Patients With Covid-19 Having Type 2 Diabetes: A Meta-analysis

Abstract

Introduction Diabetes is an independent predictor of poor outcomes in patients with COVID-19. We compared the effects of the preadmission use of antidiabetic medications on the in-hospital mortality of patients with COVID-19 having type 2 diabetes. Methods A systematic search was performed until November 30, 2021. We used a random-effects meta-analysis to calculate the pooled OR (95% CI). Results We included 61 studies (3,061,584 individuals). We found some medications protective against COVID-related death, including metformin, GLP-1RA and SGLT-2i. DPP-4i and insulin users were more likely to die during hospitalization. SU, TZD, and AGI were mortality neutral. Metformin use was associated with better outcome in a dose-response manner. Conclusions Metformin, GLP-1RA, and SGLT-2i were associated with lower mortality rate in patients with COVID-19 having type 2 diabetes. DPP-4i and insulin were linked to increased mortality. SU, TZD and AGI were mortality neutral. Presentation: No date and time listed
