Abstract
Objective
To evaluate the association between sulfonylureas and fracture risk in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods
PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library and Embase were systematically searched for observational studies evaluating sulfonylurea-associated fracture risk in patients with T2DM. Pooled relative risk (RR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated.
Results
Twelve observational studies involving 5,854,139 patients were included. Sulfonylurea use was significantly associated with increased risks of overall fractures (RR = 1.28; 95% CI: 1.11–1.47) and osteoporotic fractures (RR = 1.38; 95% CI: 1.05–1.80). Site-specific analyses revealed a 23% increase in hip fracture risk (RR = 1.23; 95% CI: 1.03–1.46) and a 47% increase in vertebral fracture risk (RR = 1.47; 95% CI: 1.24–1.74). Fracture risk profiles varied across sulfonylurea subtypes.
Conclusion
Sulfonylureas are associated with a significant increase in the overall risk of fractures and the risk of osteoporotic fractures in patients with T2DM, and this risk is particularly prominent in hip and vertebral fractures.
期刊介绍:
Revista Clínica Española published its first issue in 1940 and is the body of expression of the Spanish Society of Internal Medicine (SEMI).
The journal fully endorses the goals of updating knowledge and facilitating the acquisition of key developments in internal medicine applied to clinical practice. Revista Clínica Española is subject to a thorough double blind review of the received articles written in Spanish or English. Nine issues are published each year, including mostly originals, reviews and consensus documents.
