---|---|---|---|---|---|
Risk with combination of SGLT2i and GLP-1RA therapy | |||||
All-cause mortality | 22 per 1000 (19 to 27) | RR 0.49 (0.41 to 0.60) | 4,18,630 (2 observational studies) | ⨁⨁◯◯ Low | Combination of SGLT2i and GLP-1RA therapy may result in a large reduction in all-cause mortality due to T2DM |
Change in HbA1c Follow-up: 6 months | MD 1.48 lower (1.75 lower to 1.21 lower) | – | 1011 (7 observational studies) | ⨁⨁◯◯ Low | Combination of SGLT2i and GLP-1RA therapy may result in a slight (but important) reduction in HbA1C |
Change in FPG Follow-up: 6 months | MD 2.27 lower (2.78 lower to 1.76 lower) | – | 945 (5 observational studies) | ⨁◯◯◯ Very low | Combination of SGLT2i and GLP-1RA therapy may reduce FPG but the evidence is very uncertain |
Change in BMI Follow-up: mean 6 months | MD 1.71 lower (2.74 lower to 0.67 lower) | – | 850 (4 observational studies) | ⨁⨁◯◯ Low | The combination of SGLT2i and GLP-1RA therapy may reduce BMI |
Change in SBP Follow-up: 6 months | MD 6.35 lower (10.17 lower to 2.53 lower) | – | 859 (5 observational studies) | ⨁⨁◯◯ Low | Evidence suggests that the combination of SGLT2i and GLP-1RA therapy results in a large reduction in SBP |
Change in eGFR Follow-up: 6 months | MD 1.04 lower (4.56 lower to 2.49 higher) | – | 312 (2 observational studies) | ⨁⨁◯◯ Low | The combination of SGLT2i and GLP-1RA therapy may reduce eGFR |
Change in total cholesterol Follow-up: 6 months | MD 0.11 lower (0.25 lower to 0.02 higher) | – | 698 (3 observational studies) | ⨁⨁◯◯ Low | The combination of SGLT2i and GLP-1RA therapy may reduce total cholesterol |
