Abstract
Background
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i) are antidiabetic drugs known for their minimal side effects and limited drug interaction witih immunosuppressants, making them suitable for patients with diabetes and kidney transplant recipients. However, there is limited real-world information regarding the use of DPP-4 inhibitors in patients with post transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM).
Method
We performed a retrospective observational cohort study of 13,828 kidney transplant recipients form Janary 1, 2002, through December 21, 2018, using the Korean National Health Information Database. We extracted PTDM patients, and divided the patients into 2 groups baased on whether they received DPP4-inhibitor which needs dose adjustement (group A) or not (Group B) according to estimaged glomerular filtration rate.
Results
Out of 3154 patients who developed PTDM after transplantation, 738 patients prescribed DPP-4 inhibitors. Among these, 490 patients prescribed Group B DPP-4 inhibitors and 238 patients prescribed Group A DPP-4 inhibitors. Multivariate-adjusted Cox regression analysis showed that compared Group B, Group A DPP-4 inhibitors was associated with higher incidence rate of genital tract infection (hazard ratio (HR) 1.87, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.18-2.99), and emergency department visit (HR 3.12, 95% CI 1.89-5.16). However, there was no significantly difference in death (any cause), admission, graft failure, infection, or hypoglycemia between the 2 groups.
Conclusions
In patients with PTDM, some kinds of DPP-4 inhibitors, which need dose adjustment according to renal function, were associated with an increased rate of emergency department visit and genital tract infection.
期刊介绍:
Transplantation Proceedings publishes several different categories of manuscripts, all of which undergo extensive peer review by recognized authorities in the field prior to their acceptance for publication.
The first type of manuscripts consists of sets of papers providing an in-depth expression of the current state of the art in various rapidly developing components of world transplantation biology and medicine. These manuscripts emanate from congresses of the affiliated transplantation societies, from Symposia sponsored by the Societies, as well as special Conferences and Workshops covering related topics.
Transplantation Proceedings also publishes several special sections including publication of Clinical Transplantation Proceedings, being rapid original contributions of preclinical and clinical experiences. These manuscripts undergo review by members of the Editorial Board.
Original basic or clinical science articles, clinical trials and case studies can be submitted to the journal?s open access companion title Transplantation Reports.
