Abstract
Background: Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) reduce cardiovascular risk in people with diabetes and established cardiovascular disease, but emerging studies in chronic kidney disease (CKD) have inconsistent results. In this systematic review, we evaluate the effects of SGLT2is on cardiovascular mortality in people with CKD as a whole and across subgroups stratified by baseline kidney function and among people at low, moderate, high and very high risk according to KDIGO- CKD classification system.
Methods: Literature search was conducted in PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane/CENTRAL, Scopus and Web of Science up to 30 November 2023. We included randomized controlled trials assessing the effect of SGLT2is on cardiovascular mortality in people with CKD. Secondary outcomes included all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiac events (MACE).
Results: Eleven studies (n = 83,203 participants) were included. In people with CKD, treatment with SGLT2is compared to placebo reduced the risk of cardiovascular death by 14% (hazard ratio [HR] .86; 95%CI .79-.94), all-cause death by 15% (HR .85; 95%CI .79-.91) and MACEs by 13% (HR .87; 95%CI .81-.93). A consistent treatment effect was observed across eGFR-subgroups (≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2: HR .82, 95%CI .65-1.02; <60 mL/min/1.73 m2: HR .86, 95%CI .77-.96, p-subgroup difference = .68) and KDIGO risk-categories (low, moderate, high and very high) (p-subgroup difference = .69) for cardiovascular death; reduction in the risk of all-cause death tended to be greater in the highest KDIGO risk categories. A consistent treatment effect on cardiovascular mortality was observed for different SGLT2is agents studied. Sensitivity analysis for cardiovascular mortality endpoint including studies in diabetic people yielded similar results (HR .86; 95%CI .77-.97).
Conclusions: Treatment with SGLT2is led to a significant reduction in the risk of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in people with different CKD stages. These findings support the use of SGLT2is as an adjunct cardiovascular protective therapy in CKD.
期刊介绍:
EJCI considers any original contribution from the most sophisticated basic molecular sciences to applied clinical and translational research and evidence-based medicine across a broad range of subspecialties. The EJCI publishes reports of high-quality research that pertain to the genetic, molecular, cellular, or physiological basis of human biology and disease, as well as research that addresses prevalence, diagnosis, course, treatment, and prevention of disease. We are primarily interested in studies directly pertinent to humans, but submission of robust in vitro and animal work is also encouraged. Interdisciplinary work and research using innovative methods and combinations of laboratory, clinical, and epidemiological methodologies and techniques is of great interest to the journal. Several categories of manuscripts (for detailed description see below) are considered: editorials, original articles (also including randomized clinical trials, systematic reviews and meta-analyses), reviews (narrative reviews), opinion articles (including debates, perspectives and commentaries); and letters to the Editor.
