AbstractBackgroundSGLT2I and DPP4I are medications prescribed for type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. However, there are few population-based studies comparing their effects on incident atrial fibrillation or ischemic stroke.MethodsThis was a territory-wide cohort study of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients prescribed SGLT2I or DPP4I between January 1st, 2015 to December 31st, 2019 in Hong Kong. Patients with both DPP4I and SGLT2I use and patients with drug discontinuation were excluded. Patients with prior AF or stroke were excluded for the respective analysis. 1:2 propensity-score matching was conducted for demographics, past comorbidities and medications using nearest-neighbor matching method. Cox models were used to identify significant predictors for new onset heart failure (HF) or myocardial infarction (MI), cardiovascular and all-cause mortality.ResultsThe AF-free cohort included 49108 patients (mean age: 66.48 years old [SD: 12.89], 55.32% males) and the stroke-free cohort included 49563 patients (27244 males [54.96%], mean baseline age: 66.7 years old [SD: 12.97, max: 104.6 years old]). After propensity score matching, SGLT2i use was associated with a lower risk of new onset AF (HR: 0.43[0.28, 0.66]), cardiovascular mortality (HR: 0.79[0.58, 1.09]) and all-cause mortality (HR: 0.69[0.60, 0.79]) in the AF-free cohort. It was also associated with a lower risk of new onset stroke (0.46[0.33, 0.64]), cardiovascular mortality (HR: 0.74[0.55, 1.00]) and all-cause mortality (HR: 0.64[0.56, 0.74]) in the stroke-free cohort.ConclusionsThe novelty of our work si that SGLT2 inhibitors are protective against atrial fibrillation and stroke development for the first time. These findings should be validated in other cohorts.

Abstract Background Sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) use reduces body weight (BW) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Obesity and T2DM are strong risk factors of new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF). However, whether BW loss following SGLT2i treatment reduces AF risk in patients with T2DM remains unclear. Methods We used a medical database from a multicenter health care provider in Taiwan, which included 10,237 patients with T2DM, from June 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018, whose BW data at baseline and at 12 weeks of SGLT2i treatment were available. Patients were followed up from the drug index date until the occurrence of new-onset AF, discontinuation of the SGLT2i, or the end of the study period, whichever occurred first. Results The patients’ baseline body mass index (BMI) was 28.08 $$\pm$$ ± 4.88 kg/m2. SGLT2i treatment was associated with a BW loss of 1.35 $$\pm$$ ± 3.28 kg (1.78%$$\pm$$ ± 4.47%). There were 37.4%, 47.0%, and 15.6% of patients experienced no-BW loss (n = 3832), BW loss 0.0–4.9% (n = 4814), and $$\ge$$ ≥ 5.0% (n = 1591) following SGLT2i treatment, respectively. Compared with patients with baseline BMI < 23 kg/m2, AF risk significantly increased in patients with baseline BMI $$\ge$$ ≥ 27.5 kg/m2 (P for trend = 0.015). Compared with those without BW loss after SGLT2i treatment, AF risk significantly decreased with a BW loss of $$\ge$$ ≥ 5.0% (adjusted hazard ratios [95% confidence intervals]: 0.39[0.22–0.68]). Use of diuretics, old age, high-dose SGLT2i, higher estimated glomerular filtration rate, and baseline BMI were independent factors associated with a BW loss of $$\ge$$ ≥ 5.0% following SGLT2i initiation. By contrast, neither baseline BMI nor BW loss after SGLT2i treatment predicted major cardiovascular adverse events or heart failure hospitalization risk (P for trend > 0.05). Conclusion BW loss of ≥ 5.0% following SGLT2i treatment was associated with a lower risk of new-onset AF in patients with T2DM in real-world practice.

Abstract Background: Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) reduces the risk of hard cardiovascular endpoints in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with/without established cardiovascular diseases. Whether SGLT2i is associated with a lower risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) in T2DM patients is unclear. We aimed to evaluate the risk of new-onset AF associated with the use of SGLT2i compared to dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP4i) among a longitudinal cohort of diabetic patients. Methods: We used medical data from a multi-center healthcare provider in Taiwan, which included a total of 15,606 and 12,383 patients treated with SGLT2i and DPP4i, respectively, from June 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018. We used propensity-score weighting to balance covariates across study groups. Patients were followed up from the drug index date until the occurrence of new-onset AF, discontinuation of the index drug, or the end of the study period, whichever occurred first. Results: Overall, 55%, 45%, and 0% of the patients were treated with empagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and canagliflozin, respectively. Most patients in the DPP4i group were prescribed with linagliptin (51%), followed by sitagliptin (24%), saxagliptin (13%), vildagliptin (8%) and alogliptin (5%). The use of SGLT2i was associated with a lower risk of new-onset AF compared with DPP4i after propensity-score weighting [hazard ratio: 0.61; 95% confidential interval: 0.50-0.73; P< 0.001]. Subgroup analysis revealed that the use of SGLT2i was associated with a lower risk of new-onset AF compared with DPP4i across several subgroups including old age, female in gender, the presence of cardiovascular disease, hemoglobin A1c 8%, and chronic kidney disease. The advantage of SGLT2i over DPP4i persisted with different SGLT2i (dapagliflozin or empagliflozin) and either low- or standard-dose SGLT2i. Conclusions: SGLT2i was associated with a lower risk of new-onset AF compared with DPP4i among T2DM patients in real-world practice.

Whether SGLT2i is associated with a lower risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) in T2DM patients is unclear. We aimed to evaluate the risk of new-onset AF associated with the use of SGLT2i compared to dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4i) among a longitudinal cohort of diabetic patients. Methods: We used medical data from a multi-center healthcare provider in Taiwan, which included a total of 21,480 and 22,989 patients treated with SGLT2i and DPP4i, respectively, from June 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018. We used propensity-score weighting to balance covariates across study groups. Patients were followed up from the drug index date until the occurrence of new-onset AF, discontinuation of the index drug, or the end of the study period, whichever occurred first. Results: Overall, 56%, 42%, and 2% of the patients were treated with empagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and canagliflozin, respectively. Most patients in the DPP4i group were prescribed with linagliptin (51%), followed by sitagliptin (24%), saxagliptin (13%), vildagliptin (8%) and alogliptin (4%). The use of SGLT2i was associated with a lower risk of new-onset AF compared with DPP4i after propensity-score weighting [adjusted hazard ratio: 0.69; 95% confidential interval: 0.64-0.74; P < 0.001]. Subgroup analysis revealed that the use of SGLT2i was associated with a lower risk of new-onset AF compared with DPP4i across several subgroups including old age, the presence of congestive heart failure, cardiovascular disease, overweight patients, hemoglobin A1c 8%, and chronic kidney disease. The advantage of SGLT2i over DPP4i persisted with different SGLT2i (dapagliflozin or empagliflozin) and either low- or standard-dose SGLT2i. Conclusions: SGLT2i was associated with a lower risk of new-onset AF compared with DPP4i among T2DM patients in real-world practice.

PurposeThe objective of the current study was to explore the role of CHA2DS2-VASc score in predicting incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Furthermore, the use of the CHA2DS2-VASc score for stratifying new-onset AF risk in patients with DM and with/without hyperosmolar hyperglycaemic state (HHS) was also compared.MethodsThe study subjects were identified from Longitudinal Health Insurance Database provided by the National Health Research Institutes. The patients with DM were divided into two groups based on a history of HHS or not. The predictive ability of CHA2DS2-VASc score for stratifying new-onset AF risk in the two groups was calculated using the area under the curve of receiver-operating characteristic (AUROC).ResultsThe present study involved a total of 69 530 patients with type 2 DM. Among them, 1558 patients had a history of HHS, whereas 67 972 patients did not. The AUROC of the CHA2DS2-VASc score as a predictor of incident AF in patients with DM and with/without HHS was 0.67 (95% CI 0.59 to 0.75) and 0.71 (95% CI 0.70 to 0.72), respectively.ConclusionsTo conclude, we reported for the first time on the assessment of CHA2DS2-VASc score for incident AF risk discrimination in patients with type 2 DM. We further found that the predictive ability of the CHA2DS2-VASc score was attenuated in patients with type 2 DM and with HHS in comparison with those without HHS.

Abstract Background Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has a high risk of being associated with cardiovascular diseases including atrial fibrillation (AF). Although excessive alcohol consumption is an established modifiable risk factor for AF, alcohol behavior modification for preventing the risk of AF is not widely studied. Objective We explored the clinical effects of alcohol consumption behavior on the prevention from new-onset AF in patients with T2DM. Methods A total of 180,964 patients newly diagnosed with T2DM were identified between 2009 and 2014 from the Korean National Health Insurance Service database after excluding a previous history of AF. We followed up them until 2017, and compared the risk of AF according to alcohol consumption behavior. Results During follow-up of mean 4.3 years, new-onset AF occurred in 2,386 patients. Compared to non-drinkers, heavy drinker (≥30 g/day) at the baseline had a higher risk of AF (hazard ratio [HR] 1.29, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.112–1.492), whereas mild-drinker had no statically significant difference. According to alcohol consumption behavior, subject who stopped drinking from the time of T2DM diagnosis had the lower risk of AF; abstinence group (HR 1.33, 95% CI 1.135–1.569), restart group (HR 1.38, 95% CI 1.131–1.688) and continuous group (HR 1.48, 95% CI 1.238–1.776). In subgroup analysis, the impact of alcohol consumption behavior was more pronounced in male, but not in female; abstinence group (HR 1.30, 95% CI 1.101–1.536), restart group (HR 1.40, 95% CI 1.141–1.711), and continuous group (HR 1.49, 95% CI 1.244–1.789). Conclusions Abstention from alcohol reduced the risk of AF development in patient newly diagnosed with T2DM. Especially, in men, alcohol consumption behaviour modification is an important strategy for preventing cardiovascular event in patient newly diagnosed with T2DM.
