Abstract
Introduction: Sodium-glucose transporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors induce glycosuria. Therefore, using a meta-analysis study, this study aimed to evaluate the correlation between SGLT2 inhibitor administration and urinary tract infection (UTI) risk. Materials and Methods: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we conducted searches on Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Google Scholar without time limitations up to October 16, 2023. Data were analyzed using STATA 14 software, and a significance level of P < 0.05 was considered. Results: The combination of 11 studies revealed that the use of SGLT2 inhibitors, when compared to glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, reduced the risk of UTI (OR = 0.77; 95% CI: 0.62, 0.95) and when compared to insulin (OR = 0.74; 95% CI: 0.63, 0.87). However, the administration of SGLT2 inhibitors, when compared to dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 (DPP‐4) inhibitors (OR = 1.09; 95% CI: 0.90, 1.32), sulfonylureas (OR = 1.35; 95% CI: 0.88, 2.05), biguanide initiators (OR = 1.14; 95% CI: 1.05, 1.24), thiazolidinediones (OR = 1.19; 95% CI: 0.58, 2.44), and other antidiabetic drugs (OR = 1.20; 95% CI: 0.92, 1.57), did not increase the risk of UTI. The administration of dapagliflozin (OR = 1.51; 95% CI: 0.60, 3.81), canagliflozin (OR = 1.22; 95% CI: 0.47, 3.15), and empagliflozin (OR = 3.22; 95% CI: 2.97, 3.48) showed associations with UTI risk. Furthermore, the correlation between SGLT2 inhibitors use and UTI risk was observed in cohort studies (OR = 1.14; 95% CI: 0.98, 1.32), cross-sectional studies (OR = 0.86; 95% CI: 0.64, 1.14), in males (OR = 1; 95% CI: 0.72, 1.40), and females (OR = 1.17; 95% CI: 0.91, 1.52). Conclusion: Empagliflozin, in contrast to dapagliflozin and canagliflozin, increases the risk of UTI.

期刊介绍:
The Journal of Renal Injury Prevention (JRIP) is a quarterly peer-reviewed international journal devoted to the promotion of early diagnosis and prevention of renal diseases. It publishes in March, June, September and December of each year. It has pursued this aim through publishing editorials, original research articles, reviews, mini-reviews, commentaries, letters to the editor, hypothesis, case reports, epidemiology and prevention, news and views and renal biopsy teaching point. In this journal, particular emphasis is given to research, both experimental and clinical, aimed at protection/prevention of renal failure and modalities in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy. A further aim of this journal is to emphasize and strengthen the link between renal pathologists/nephropathologists and nephrologists. In addition, JRIP welcomes basic biomedical as well as pharmaceutical scientific research applied to clinical nephrology. Futuristic conceptual hypothesis that integrate various fields of acute kidney injury and renal tubular cell protection are encouraged to be submitted.
