MO723EFFICACY AND SAFTY OF DAPAGLIFLOZIN FOR HEART FAILURE: A SYSTEMIC REVIEW
Abstract Background and Aims Dapagliflozin is an inhibitor of sodium-dependent glucose transporters 2, which is a new drug for diabetes mellitus. Recent researches indicated that among patients with heart failure, the risk of worsening heart failure or death from cardiovascular causes was lower among those who received dapagliflozin than those who received placebo, regardless of the presence or absence of diabetes. This systematic review aimed to evaluate efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin for heart failure. Method According to the collaborative search strategy, MEDLINE(1966-2020.9), Embase(1974-2020.9), Chinese Wanfang database(1996-2020.9),CNKI(1979-2020.9), the clinical control test database of Cochrane Library and were searched. Only randomized controlled trials (RCT) were included in this research. Quality assessment and data extraction were conducted by two independent investigators. Meta-analysis was conducted by Stata 11.0. Results A total of 5 RCTs were identified which met the inclusion criteria, including 5998 patients. Compared with control group, dapagliflozin was associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular mortality/hospitalization for heart failure composite events (HR=0.73, 95%CI 0.64∼0.83, P<0.001), cardiovascular mortality (RR=0.80, 95%CI 0.68∼0.93, P=0.005), hospitalization for heart failure (HR=0.68, 95%CI 0.58∼0.80, P<0.001), and all-cause mortality (RR=0.80, 95%CI 0.70∼0.92, P=0.002). Dapagliflozin also increased the Kansas city cardiomyopathy questionnaire (KCCQ), without increasing the risk of major hypoglycemia, volume depletion, renal adverse event and amputation. Conclusion Dapagliflozin could effectively lower the risk of mortality and hospitalization for heart failure, as well as improve the quality of life among patients with heart failure.
