Abstract
Purpose: Although there is concern about the association of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) use with musculoskeletal pain, hypovolemia, and urinary tract infection in patients with severe chronic kidney disease (CKD), information on these adverse events is insufficient. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess whether SGLT2i increases the risk of urinary tract infection, hypovolemia, and musculoskeletal pain in these patients.
Methods: MEDLINE via PubMed, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and the ClinicalTrials.gov website were comprehensively searched to extract all relevant studies. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were selected that compared SGLT2i versus placebo, and the study populations consisted of patients with CKD stage 3 or higher.
Results: Eleven studies were eligible for inclusion. SGLT2i tended to increase the risk of hypovolemia [risk ratio (RR) 1.15, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.98-1.35, P = 0.08, high certainty] but did not increase the risk of urinary tract infection (RR 1.03, 95% CI 0.94-1.12, P = 0.56, high certainty) or musculoskeletal pain (RR 0.69, 95% CI 0.41-1.17, P = 0.17, high certainty). Subgroup analysis of patients with heart disease was performed for the outcome of hypovolemia, and the results showed a significant difference in hypovolemia (RR 1.21, 95% CI 1.06-1.39, P < 0.01, moderate certainty) between SGLT2i and placebo.
Conclusion: This meta-analysis suggests that SGLT2i may increase the risk of hypovolemia in patients with moderate to severe CKD and heart disease but is not associated with urinary tract infection or musculoskeletal pain.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology publishes original papers on all aspects of clinical pharmacology and drug therapy in humans. Manuscripts are welcomed on the following topics: therapeutic trials, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, pharmacogenetics, drug metabolism, adverse drug reactions, drug interactions, all aspects of drug development, development relating to teaching in clinical pharmacology, pharmacoepidemiology, and matters relating to the rational prescribing and safe use of drugs. Methodological contributions relevant to these topics are also welcomed.
Data from animal experiments are accepted only in the context of original data in man reported in the same paper. EJCP will only consider manuscripts describing the frequency of allelic variants in different populations if this information is linked to functional data or new interesting variants. Highly relevant differences in frequency with a major impact in drug therapy for the respective population may be submitted as a letter to the editor.
Straightforward phase I pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic studies as parts of new drug development will only be considered for publication if the paper involves
-a compound that is interesting and new in some basic or fundamental way, or
-methods that are original in some basic sense, or
-a highly unexpected outcome, or
-conclusions that are scientifically novel in some basic or fundamental sense.
