アブストラクト | AIMS: To identify patient-specific factors associated with early metformin treatment modification among type 2 diabetes patients before and after implementation of the updated 2015 NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) guideline. METHODS: We conducted a population-based cohort study using data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink GOLD database (2009-2016). Patients >/= 18 years, newly treated with metformin only, during the period of valid data collection were included. The first prescription defined start of follow-up. Determinants of treatment modification in two cohorts (before and after implementation of the updated guideline) were studied by time-dependent Cox proportional hazards regression. RESULTS: After implementation of the updated guideline, patients were less likely to receive sulphonylureas (62.3% vs 41.3%) or thiazolidediones (4.7% vs 2.2%) and more likely to receive dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (15.8% vs 27.1%) or sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (0.8% vs 9.9%). Some determinants influenced general practitioners' prescribing differently after implementation of the updated guideline compared to before, including a high body mass index and heart failure. CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that a first step towards tailored prescribing has been made. However, not all determinants that are important to consider when prescribing second-line glucose-lowering agents were of influence on general practitioners' prescribing. |
