Background: Re-hospitalization rates are emerging as quality of care measures with reimbursement implications for inpatient care. Objective: To examine the rates of inpatient re-hospitalization and economic burden of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patient admissions in real-world clinical practice. Methods: Patients (age >18 years) with an inpatient hospitalization for ACS [ICD-9-CM codes for acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina (UA)] between 1/1/2007-4/30/2009 were identified using claims from 450 hospitals representing 4.8 million inpatient visits. All-cause and ACS-related re-hospitalizations within 30 days and 12 months after index event were evaluated. In addition, the mean inpatient admission charges resulting from inpatient re-admissions at 30 days were also estimated. Results: Of 17,904 ACS patients [52% male; mean age 70.6 (median-73.0) years)], 13.3% had diagnostic coding for ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), 47.9% had coding for non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), 32.2% had UA, and 6.5% had not otherwise specified (NOS) ACS. The 30-day all-cause inpatient re-hospitalization rate was 14.7% (STEMI: 12.7%, NSTEMI: 17.1%, UA: 12.5%, NOS: 10.8%) and 5.5% for an ACS-related re-hospitalization (STEMI: 7.6%, NSTEMI: 7.0%, UA: 2.8%, NOS: 3.9%). The 12-month all cause re-hospitalization rate was 37.7% (STEMI: 31.3%, NSTEMI: 39.9%, UA: 39.7%, NOS: 25.4%) and 12.5% for an ACS-related re-hospitalization (STEMI: 12.7%, NSTEMI: 14.3%, UA: 10.9%, NOS: 7.0%). For patients with ages > 65 years (N = 12,627), the 30-day all-cause and ACS-related re-hospitalization rates were 15.1% and 5.8%, respectively. The mean per patient additional charges resulting from 30-day all-cause and ACS-related re-hospitalizations in the study cohort with an index hospitalization (N=17,904) were estimated to be $13,160 and $7,216, respectively. Conclusion: High rates of re-hospitalization for ACS patients within 30 days and 12-months post-index hospitalization were observed using real-world clinical practice data. More effective therapies may provide an opportunity to improve important clinical and economic outcomes in ACS patients.

<b>Objective: </b>Randomized controlled trials have shown kidney protective effects of sodium glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, and clinical practice databases have suggested that these effects translate to clinical practice. However, long-term efficacy as well as whether the presence or absence of proteinuria and the rate of estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) decline prior to SGLT2 inhibitors initiation modifies treatment efficacy among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients is unknown. <p><b>Research Design and Methods: </b>Using the Japan Chronic Kidney Disease Database (J-CKD-DB), a nationwide multicenter CKD registry, we developed propensity scores for SGLT2 inhibitor initiation, with 1:1 matching with patients who were initiated on other glucose-lowering drugs.

Abstract Aims The sodium–glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors dapagliflozin and empagliflozin have been demonstrated to reduce adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Limited data are available characterizing the generalizability of SGLT2 inhibitors treatment in the clinical practice. The aim of the study was to evaluate the proportion of outpatients with HFrEF that would be eligible for SGLT2 inhibitors in a contemporary real-world population. Methods and results We retrospectively evaluated patients with chronic stable HFrEF followed-up at the HF outpatient clinic of our institution. Patients’ eligibility was assessed according to the entry criteria of DAPA-HF (dapagliflozin) and EMPEROR-Reduced (empagliflozin) trials and to US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) label criteria (only dapagliflozin). A total of 441 HFrEF patients was enrolled. According to the major inclusion and exclusion criteria from DAPA-HF and EMPEROR-Reduced trials, 198 (45%) patients would be candidates for initiation of both dapagliflozin and empagliflozin, 61 (14%) would be eligible only to dapagliflozin and 23 (5%) only to empagliflozin, without significant differences between diabetic and non-diabetic patients (P = 0.23). Among patients not suitable for gliflozins treatment (159 patients; 36%), the major determinant of ineligibility was the failure to achieve the predefined NT-proBNP inclusion threshold. Excluding NTproBNP as per FDA label criteria, dapagliflozin eligibility increased to 86%. Conclusions In our real-world analysis a large proportion of HFrEF patients would be candidates for initiation of SGLT2 inhibitors, supporting its broad generalizability in clinical practice. This would be expected to reduce morbidity and mortality in eligible patients.

One of the most important achievements of diabetology in the second decade of the 21st century is undoubtedly the introduction of sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT2) inhibitors into clinical practice as a new class of glucose-lowering agents for type 2 diabetes. In addition to the glucosuria induced by these agents, which is their main pathway for achieving antidiabetic recovery, other consequences accompany the intake of SGLT2 inhibitors. These pathways, particularly in oncology, have not been extensively studied. Considering the analysis of the previous studies, this report demonstrates, although not significantly, that cancer morbidity in patients with T2DM treated with SGLT2 inhibitors may be organ-specific. In addition, agents within the class of SGLT-2 inhibitors may be useful in several variants of antitumor therapy, but this theory requires further study.
