Abstract
Glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are approved for the treatment of type II diabetes mellitus and obesity. These agents slow gastric emptying and may increase the risk of pulmonary aspiration, particularly in patients undergoing elective surgery. We used a claims database to examine the association between perioperative GLP-1 receptor agonist use and the risk of pulmonary aspiration. A total of 392 065 patients including 15 745 (4.0%) who used GLP-1 receptor agonist who underwent elective surgery were identified. The rate of pulmonary aspiration was 0.8% in those who received GLP-1 receptor agonists versus 0.7% in those who had not (P = 0.61). After adjusting for other risk factors for aspiration, there was no association between GLP-1 agonist use and aspiration (OR = 1.07; 95% CI, 0.85-1.34).
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Surgery (IJS) has a broad scope, encompassing all surgical specialties. Its primary objective is to facilitate the exchange of crucial ideas and lines of thought between and across these specialties.By doing so, the journal aims to counter the growing trend of increasing sub-specialization, which can result in "tunnel-vision" and the isolation of significant surgical advancements within specific specialties.
