Site-level variation was quantified using the median odds ratio, which describes the average odds that a patient being treated at one vs another randomly selected hospital would receive SGLT2i therapy at discharge.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Of 158 849 patients (median [IQR] age, 76 [66-85] years; 89 816 females [56.5%]), 22 126 eligible patients (13.9%) with HF and an LVEF greater than 40% were prescribed an SGLT2i at hospital discharge. Quarterly prescription rates increased from 4.2% in July to September 2021 to 23.5% in July to September 2023 (P for trend < .001). SGLT2i prescription was more likely among patients with HF with mildly reduced LVEF (41%-49%) than in those with preserved LVEF (≥50%; 5127 of 27 712 patients [18.5%] vs 16 999 of 131 137 patients [13.0%]; absolute standardized difference, 16.7%). After adjustment for patient characteristics, there was a high variance between hospitals in the rate of SGLT2i prescription (median odds ratio, 2.12; 95% CI, 2.02-2.25). Among 518 hospitals with 10 or more eligible discharges, 11 hospitals (2.1%) discharged 50% or more of their patients with an SGLT2i prescription, while 232 (44.8%) discharged fewer than 10% of eligible patients with an SGLT2i prescription.</p><p><strong>Conclusion and relevance: </strong>For patients with HF and an LVEF greater than 40%, discharge prescription of SGLT2is increased from 4.2% to 23.5% during the first 2 years after the EMPEROR-Preserved trial demonstrating treatment benefits; however, these rates varied across US hospitals.</p>","PeriodicalId":14657,"journal":{"name":"JAMA cardiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":14.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11574726/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142668090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
