摘要
理由与目标:尽管缺乏支持性证据,但目前的指南建议肾功能损害晚期患者不要使用二甲双胍。这项观察性研究旨在比较2型糖尿病患者在发展到慢性肾脏病(CKD)4期(eGFR 2)后继续使用二甲双胍与停止使用二甲双胍的结果:全国观察性队列研究:研究设计:全国观察性队列研究。研究地点和参与者:苏格兰所有在2010年1月至2019年4月期间接受二甲双胍治疗的2型糖尿病和偶发4期慢性肾脏病成人患者。暴露:在偶发4期慢性肾脏病后6个月内停用二甲双胍与继续使用二甲双胍:主要结果为全因死亡率。次要结果包括主要不良心血管事件(MACE):分析方法:目标试验模拟,采用克隆张量加权设计和边际结构模型进行敏感性分析:在2019年4月30日前确诊为2型糖尿病的371,742名苏格兰居民中,有4,278人被确定为二甲双胍的普遍使用者,并出现了CKD 4期。在出现 CKD IV 期的 6 个月内,有 1713 人(40.1%)停用了二甲双胍。与继续服用二甲双胍相比,停用二甲双胍与较低的 3 年生存率相关(63.7%,95% CI 60.9 至 66.6 对 70.5%,95% CI 68.0 至 73.0;HR=1.26,95% CI 1.10 至 1.44),而两种策略的 MACE 发生率相似(HR=1.05,95% CI 0.88 至 1.26)。边际结构模型证实,停用二甲双胍与继续使用二甲双胍的患者全因死亡风险较高,MACE风险相似(全因死亡率:HR=1.34,95% CI 1.08至1.67;MACE:HR=1.04,95% CI 0.81至1.33):结论结论:当 eGFR 低于 30 ml/min/1.73m2 时,继续使用二甲双胍可能是合适的。需要进行随机对照试验来证实这些发现。
Stopping Versus Continuing Metformin in Patients With Advanced CKD: A Nationwide Scottish Target Trial Emulation Study.
Rationale & objective: Current guidance recommends against the use of metformin in people with advanced kidney impairment despite a lack of supporting evidence. The aim of this observational study was to compare outcomes of patients with type 2 diabetes who continued versus stopped metformin after developing stage 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) (eGFR <30 ml/min/1.73m2).
Study design: Nationwide observational cohort study.
Setting & participants: All adults with type 2 diabetes and incident stage 4 CKD in Scotland who were treated with metformin between January 2010 and April 2019.
Exposure: Stopping versus continuing metformin within six months following incident stage 4 CKD.
Outcomes: Primary outcome was all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes included major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).
Analytical approach: Target trial emulation with clone-censor-weight design and marginal structural models fit for sensitivity analyses.
Results: In a population of 371,742 Scottish residents with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes before 30th April 2019, 4,278 were identified as prevalent metformin users with incident CKD stage 4. Within six months of developing CKD stage IV, 1,713 (40.1%) individuals discontinued metformin. Compared with continuing metformin, stopping metformin was associated with a lower 3-year survival (63.7%, 95% CI 60.9 to 66.6 versus 70.5%, 95% CI 68.0 to 73.0; HR=1.26, 95% CI 1.10 to 1.44), while the incidence of MACE was similar between both strategies (HR=1.05, 95% CI 0.88 to 1.26). Marginal structural models confirmed the higher risk of all-cause mortality and similar risk of MACE in patients who stopped versus continued metformin (all-cause mortality: HR=1.34, 95% CI 1.08 to 1.67; MACE: HR=1.04, 95% CI 0.81 to 1.33).
Limitations: Residual confounding.
Conclusions: The continued use of metformin may be appropriate when eGFR falls below 30 ml/min/1.73m2. Randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these findings.
