Abstract
Aims
To compare the renal effectiveness of SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) versus GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).
Methods
Using nationwide healthcare claims (2014–2023) of Korea, we constructed a cohort of MASLD patients who initiated SGLT2i or GLP-1RA. Patients were stratified on baseline status of chronic kidney disease (CKD). New-users of SGLT2i and GLP-1RA were 1:1 propensity score (PS) matched. Incidence rates (IRs) per 1,000 person-years, hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated for a composite of end-stage renal diseases (ESRD).
Results
Of 333,082 MASLD patients who initiated SGLT2i or GLP-1RA, a total of 1,268 SGLT2i-GLP-1RA pairs were PS-matched in cohort with CKD, while 10,996 pairs were matched in cohort without CKD. For the cohort with CKD, SGLT2i presented 33% lower risk of ESRD compared to GLP-1RA (20.3 vs. 30.0 events per 1,000 person-years; HR 0.67, 95% CI 0.45–1.00). For the cohort without CKD, SGLT2i presented a 68% lowered risk of ESRD compared to GLP-1RA (0.9 vs. 2.5 events per 1,000 person-years; HR 0.32, 95% CI 0.19–0.53).
Conclusions
The use of SGLT2i was associated with lower risk of ESRD compared to GLP-1RA in MASLD. The protective association was presented regardless of CKD status.
目的:比较SGLT2抑制剂(SGLT2i)与GLP-1受体激动剂(GLP-1RA)在代谢功能障碍相关脂肪变性肝病(MASLD)中的肾脏疗效。方法:使用韩国全国医疗保健索赔(2014-2023),我们构建了一个启动SGLT2i或GLP-1RA的MASLD患者队列。根据慢性肾脏疾病(CKD)的基线状态对患者进行分层。SGLT2i和GLP-1RA新使用者的倾向评分(PS)匹配为1:1。估计了终末期肾脏疾病(ESRD)的每1000人年发病率(IRs)、危险比(hr)和95%置信区间(CIs)。结果:在333,082例启动SGLT2i或GLP-1RA的MASLD患者中,有CKD的队列中有1268对SGLT2i-GLP-1RA配对,而在无CKD的队列中有10,996对配对。在CKD队列中,SGLT2i的ESRD风险比GLP-1RA低33%(每1000人年20.3 vs 30.0事件;HR 0.67, 95% CI 0.45-1.00)。对于无CKD的队列,与GLP-1RA相比,SGLT2i的ESRD风险降低68%(每1000人年0.9 vs 2.5事件;HR 0.32, 95% CI 0.19-0.53)。结论:与GLP-1RA相比,在MASLD中使用SGLT2i与较低的ESRD风险相关。无论CKD状态如何,这种保护性关联都存在。
