By conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis of all randomised, placebo-controlled, cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes trials (CVOTs), we aimed to compare racial/ethnic as well as regional patterns in the effects of SGLT2-Is and GLP1-RAs on cardiovascular and renal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).</p><p><strong>Design: </strong>Trials were identified from MEDLINE, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and search of bibliographies to 7 July 2023.

The proportion of participants enrolled in the trials ranged from 66.6-93.2% for White populations, 1.2-21.6% for Asian populations, 2.4-8.3% for Black populations and 0.9-23.1% for Other populations. The HR (95% CI) for MACE comparing SGLT2-Is vs placebo was 0.92 (0.86-0.98), 0.69 (0.53-0.92) and 0.70 (0.54-0.91) for White, Asian and Hispanic/Latino populations, respectively. Comparing GLP1-RAs vs placebo, the corresponding HR (95% CI) was 0.88 (0.80-0.97), 0.76 (0.63-0.93) and 0.82 (0.70-0.95), respectively. SGLT2-Is reduced the risk of all other cardiorenal outcomes in White and Asian populations, except for HF hospitalizations in Asians. No effects were observed in Black populations except for a reduced risk of HF hospitalizations by SGLT2-I. SGLT1-Is reduced the risk of composite CVD death/HF hospitalization in North America and Europe, whereas GLP1-RAs reduced the risk of MACE in Europe.
