Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Sodium glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) are increasingly being used among hospitalized patients. Our objective was to assess the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) among hospitalized patients receiving an SGLT-2i.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We conducted a multicentre cohort study of patients hospitalized at 19 hospitals. We included patients over 18 years of age who received an SGLT-2i or a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP-4i) in hospital. The primary outcome was the risk of DKA during their hospitalization.
RESULTS: 61,517 patients received a DPP-4i and 11,061 received an SGLT-2i. The risk of inpatient DKA was 0.07 % (N = 41 events) among adults who received a DPP-4i and 0.18 % (N = 20 events) among adults who received an SGLT-2i; adjusted odds ratio of 3.30 (95 % CI: 1.85-5.72).
CONCLUSIONS: In hospitalized patients, the absolute risk of DKA was 0.2 %, which corresponded to a three-fold higher relative risk.
