Abstract
Background: SGLT-2 inhibitors, prescribed for type 2 diabetes, have a heightened risk of amputation. The FDA issued a warning in May 2017, leading to the inclusion of a cautionary label. Vigilance is essential for patients and healthcare providers to promptly identify and address potential limb complications associated with the use of SGLT-2 inhibitors.
Method: A comprehensive search of electronic databases was conducted, covering the period from inception to May 2024. This systematic literature review adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias (ROB) tool. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were predefined, and data extraction was performed to summarize the findings.
Result: A total of 12 randomized control trial (RCT) studies were included in the present systematic review. 37,657 (54.89%) participants were randomly assigned to receive the different interventions of SGLT-2 inhibitor, whereas 30,959 (45.11%) received a placebo. Overall, 618 events were reported in the treatment group, whereas 396 events were reported in the placebo group.
Conclusion: In conclusion, patients treated with SGLT-2 inhibitors did not have any significant difference in amputation occurrences compared to placebo across various studies. However, canagliflozin usage has led to higher amputation events in certain trials.
期刊介绍:
Drug Research (formerly Arzneimittelforschung) is an international peer-reviewed journal with expedited processing times presenting the very latest research results related to novel and established drug molecules and the evaluation of new drug development. A key focus of the publication is translational medicine and the application of biological discoveries in the development of drugs for use in the clinical environment. Articles and experimental data from across the field of drug research address not only the issue of drug discovery, but also the mathematical and statistical methods for evaluating results from industrial investigations and clinical trials. Publishing twelve times a year, Drug Research includes original research articles as well as reviews, commentaries and short communications in the following areas: analytics applied to clinical trials chemistry and biochemistry clinical and experimental pharmacology drug interactions efficacy testing pharmacodynamics pharmacokinetics teratology toxicology.
