Abstract
Background: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) are increasingly being used for the management of diabetes mellitus and obesity. We sought to define the impact of preoperative GLP-1RA use on outcomes following major surgical procedures.
Methods: Patients who underwent a major surgical procedure between 2013 and 2021 were identified using the IBM MarketScan database. Patients who took GLP-1RA within a year before surgery were categorized as "exposed." After propensity score matching (PSM), multivariable regression analysis was used to define the association of GLP-1RA exposure with postoperative complications.
Results: Among 138,980 patients (coronary artery bypass graft: n = 39,516, 28.4%; pneumonectomy: n = 4,881, 3.5%; abdominal aortic aneurysm repair: 4,459, 3.3%; pancreatectomy: n = 15,873, 11.4%; and colectomy: n = 74,251, 53.4%), most individuals were male (n = 80,871, 58.2%) with a median age of 58 (IQR 53-61) years. 2944 (2.2%) individuals had GLP-1RA exposure before surgery. Overall incidence of complications was 36.5% (n = 50,724); complications included sepsis (n = 6,385, 4.6%), surgical site infections (n = 7,431, 5.3%), thromboembolism (n = 3,609, 2.6%), pneumonia (n = 4,783, 3.4%), renal (n = 9,017, 6.5%), or cardiopulmonary failure (n = 26,661, 19.2%). On unmatched analysis, patients on GLP-1RA had a higher risk of complications (no GLP-1RA: 36.3% vs. GLP-1RA: 44.5% p < 0.001); however, after PSM to account for measured confounders, GLP-1RA exposure was not associated with the odds of surgical complications (OR 0.99 95% CI 0.91-1.08; p > 0.05). Among patients using GLP-1RA during the 2 weeks before surgery (n = 522, 17.7%), there was no association of GLP-1RA with risk of complications (nonrecent GLP-1RA: 44.7% vs. recent GLP-1RA: 44.1%; p = 0.992).
Conclusions: GLP-1RA use was not associated with an increased risk of complications following major surgical procedures.
