Abstract
the impact of Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on cardiovascular and renal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A cross-sectional analysis was performed from July 2023 to January 2024, with a sample of 200 T2DM patients selected through convenience sampling. The inclusion criteria encompassed adult patients treated with SGLT2 inhibitors for a minimum of six months. Primary outcomes focused on the progression of renal disease, measured by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), and changes in serum creatinine and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), comprising cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction or nonfatal stroke. Results indicated that SGLT2 inhibitors significantly reduced the risk of MACE and renal disease progression, with adjusted odds ratios demonstrating the protective effect against these complications. The study found 10% MACE event rate and 7.5% renal progression event rate, suggesting the notable clinical benefit from SGLT2 inhibitor therapy. Subgroup analysis revealed higher incidence of MACE in older participants and those with the higher BMI, while gender differences were marginal and HbA1c levels did not significantly correlate with MACE rates. This study supported the use of SGLT2 inhibitors in T2DM management and their potential role in mitigating cardiovascular and renal complications, enhancing patient outcomes, and reducing morbidity and mortality.
