アブストラクト | AIMS: This study aimed to assess the proportions of type 2 diabetes (T2D) subjects meeting cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs) criteria for sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) and estimate SGLT2i utilization, along with associated demographic and clinical characteristics, in a primary care setting. METHODS: T2D patients in Italy were selected between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2022, from The Health Improvement Network (THIN((R))) database. Representativeness was determined by dividing patients meeting key inclusion criteria for four CVOTs (CANVAS, DECLARE-TIMI 58, EMPA-REG OUTCOME, VERTIS-CV) to the total T2D population. Demographic and clinical characteristics of eligible T2D subjects and SGLT2i users were compared, and logistic regression models assessed the likelihood of receiving SGLT2i. RESULTS: Out of 17,102 T2D patients, 8,828 met eligibility criteria for at least one CVOT. DECLARE-TIMI 58 exhibited the highest representativeness (51.1%), compared to CANVAS (21.1%), EMPA-REG OUTCOME (5.5%), and VERTIS-CV (4.9%) trials. Eligible CVOTs patients were older (74.6 vs. 68.3 years), with a longer disease duration (10.2 vs. 9.7 years), and higher established cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevalence (36.0 vs. 27.3%) compared to SGLT2i users. Less than 10% of eligible T2D patients received SGLT2i. Males (OR: 1.43; 95%CI: 1.24-1.66) were more likely to be prescribed SGLT2i than other antidiabetic drugs, while the elderly (80 + vs. 40-64 years, OR: 0.17; 95% CI: 0.14-0.22) were less likely. Eligible T2D patients with CVD reported an increased likelihood of receiving SGLT2is compared to other antidiabetics. CONCLUSION: This study highlights significant variability in the proportion of T2D subjects meeting SGLT2i CVOT inclusion criteria, with DECLARE-TIMI-58 being the most represented. Low SGLT2i prescription rates in the Italian primary care setting, along with substantial demographic and clinical differences between SGLT-2i users and T2D eligible patients, emphasize the need for targeted interventions to optimize the use of these medications in primary care settings. |
