Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors relative to metformin for reducing subsequent cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The investigators will conduct a population-based, new-user, longitudinal-cohort study using a nationwide US commercial insurance claims database. The investigators will compare adults with diabetes mellitus type 2 over the age of 18 who were newly prescribed an SGLT2 inhibitor or metformin between March 29, 2013 (date of US approval of first SGLT2) and January 1st, 2017 (most recent available data). Patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 will be identified using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) and ICD-10 codes. Cohort entry date will be the date of the first prescription for an SGLT2 or metformin. New users of SGLT2 or metformin will be defined as those without a prior prescription for either class of medications, or any other medication for diabetes, in the preceding 180 days.
