| Description: |
Aims: To assess the comparative cardiovascular and renal effectiveness and safety of empagliflozin vs. dapagliflozin among patients with type 2 diabetes in routine clinical practice. Methods and results: Cohort study using data from nationwide registers in Sweden, Denmark, and Norway, from June 2014 to June 2021 included 141 065 new users of empagliflozin and 58 306 new users of dapagliflozin. Coprimary outcomes were major cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction, stroke, and cardiovascular death), heart failure (hospitalization or death because of heart failure) and serious renal events (renal replacement therapy, hospitalization for renal events, and death from renal causes). Secondary outcomes were the individual components of the primary outcomes, any cause death, and diabetic ketoacidosis. Use of empagliflozin vs. dapagliflozin was associated with similar risk of major cardiovascular events [adjusted incidence rate: 15.9 vs. 15.8 events per 1000 person-years; HR 1.02, (95% confidence interval 0.97-1.08)], heart failure [6.5 vs. 6.3 events per 1000 person-years; HR 1.05 (0.97-1.14)] and serious renal events [3.7 vs. 4.1 events per 1000 person-years; HR 0.97 (0.87-1.07)]. In secondary outcome analyses, the HRs for use of empagliflozin vs. dapagliflozin were 1.00 (0.93-1.07) for myocardial infarction, 1.03 (0.95-1.12) for stroke, 1.01 (0.92-1.13) for cardiovascular death, 1.06 (1.00-1.11) for any cause death, 0.77 (0.60-0.99) for renal replacement therapy, 1.20 (0.75-1.93) for renal death, 1.01 (0.90-1.12) for hospitalization for renal events and 1.12 (0.94-1.33) for diabetic ketoacidosis. Conclusion: Use of empagliflozin and dapagliflozin was associated with similar risk of cardiovascular and renal outcomes, mortality, and diabetic ketoacidosis. |
