Potential unrealized mortality benefit of glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists and sodium‐glucose co‐transport‐2 inhibitors: A report from the Veterans Health Administration Clinical Assessment, Reporting and Tracking program
Abstract:Aim
To assess the unrealized potential of glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist (GLP‐1RA) or sodium‐glucose co‐transport‐2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) use to reduce mortality in veterans with type 2 diabetes (T2D), coronary artery disease (CAD), and other characteristics congruent with clinical trial cohorts that established the efficacy of these agents.
Methods
Veterans with T2D and CAD on angiography in 2014 who were untreated with either a GLP‐1RA or a SGLT2i were assessed for key eligibility criteria of the LEAD… Show more
