description Objective To investigate the risk of cardiovascular events associated with commonly used dual and triple therapies of evogliptin, a recently introduced dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP4i), for managing type 2 diabetes in routine clinical practice.Design A retrospective cohort study.Setting Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment database.Participants Patients who initiated metformin-based dual therapy and metformin+sulfonylurea-based triple therapy in South Korea from 2014 to 2018.Interventions Initiation of combination therapy with evogliptin.Primary and secondary outcome measures Hazards of cardiovascular events, a composite endpoint of myocardial infarction, heart failure and cerebrovascular events, and its individual components. Cox proportional hazards model with propensity score-based inverse probability of treatment weighting were used to estimate HRs and 95% CIs.Results From the dual and triple therapy cohorts, 5830 metformin+evogliptin users and 2198 metformin+sulfonylurea+evogliptin users were identified, respectively. Metformin+evogliptin users, as compared with metformin+non-DPP4i, had a 29% reduced risk of cardiovascular events (HR 0.71, 95% CI 0.62 to 0.82); HRs for individual outcomes were cerebrovascular events (0.71, 95% CI 0.53 to 0.95), heart failure (0.70, 95% CI 0.59 to 0.82), myocardial infarction (0.89, 95% CI 0.60 to 1.31). Metformin+sulfonylurea+evogliptin users, compared with metformin+sulfonylurea+non-DPP4i, had a 24% reduced risk of cardiovascular events (0.76, 95% CI 0.59 to 0.97); HRs for individual outcomes were myocardial infarction (0.57, 95% CI 0.27 to 1.19), heart failure (0.74, 95% CI 0.55 to 1.01), cerebrovascular events (0.96, 95% CI 0.61 to 1.51).Conclusions These findings suggest that dual or triple therapies of evogliptin for the management of type 2 diabetes in routine clinical practice present no cardiovascular harms, but could alternatively offer cardiovascular benefits in this patient population.
