摘要
BACKGROUND:Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) reduce cardiovascular events and mortality in type 2 diabetes. Limited data are available on diabetes treatment after solid organ transplantation. We aimed to explore the effect of GLP1-RAs on cardiovascular outcomes in transplanted recipients with diabetes. METHODS:We extracted data on adult transplant recipients (kidney, lungs, liver, heart) insured in a large health maintenance organization. Death-censored patients with diabetes treated with GLP1-RAs were matched with nonusers. The primary outcome was a composite of major cardiovascular events (MACEs): a nonfatal cardiac event (myocardial infarction, stable/unstable angina, coronary bypass, and coronary angiography), ischemic stroke and all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes were MACE or peripheral vascular disease (MACE-PVD), and all-cause mortality. Safety outcomes included biliopancreatic adverse events. RESULTS:We included 318 patients (69% males, average age 58.3 ± 11.0 y) with a 3.1-y median follow-up. The incidence of MACE was 101 of 1000 patient-years in GLP1-RAs users compared with 134 of 1000 in controls (hazard ratio [HR] 0.46; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.27-0.78). GLP1-RAs similarly reduced the risk of MACE-PVD (HR 0.53; 95% CI, 0.33-0.88) and the risk of all-cause mortality (HR 0.39; 95% CI, 0.18-0.84). Biliopancreatic adverse events occurred less in GLP1-RA users. CONCLUSIONS:Transplant recipients with diabetes who used GLP1-RAs had lower risks for MACE and all-cause mortality. These results may profoundly implicate the daily management of posttransplant recipients with diabetes, a population with a high prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors and cardiovascular death. Transplant patients are usually excluded from randomized controlled trials and, hence might be undertreated with disease-modifying drugs. Larger prospective studies are needed in this unique population.
