Fig. 5From: Cardiovascular benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors in type 2 diabetes, interaction with metformin and role of erythrocytosis: a self-controlled case series studyForest plot of incidence rate ratios of cardiovascular outcomes by SGLT2i exposure and erythrocytosis. The incidence rate ratio of cardiovascular outcomes between periods of (i) SGLT2i exposure with erythrocytosis; (ii) SGLT2i exposure without erythrocytosis; (iii) absence of SGLT2i exposure with erythrocytosis; and (iv) absence of SGLT2i exposure without erythrocytosis, were estimated using conditional Poisson regression model with an offset for the length of the risk period, with adjustment of time-varying factors (age and the use of other anti-diabetic agents [sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, GLP1 receptor agonists, and insulin])Back to article page
