A meta-analysis including 13 cardiovascular outcome trials found that SGLT-2 inhibitors reduce the risk for three-point MACE, especially in subjects with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) below 60 ml/min, whereas GLP-1 receptor agonists were more beneficial in persons with higher eGFR. Likewise, the risk reduction due to SGLT-2 inhibitors was larger in populations with a higher proportion of albuminuria, but this relationship was not observed for GLP-1 receptor agonists. This suggests a differential use of the two substance classes in patients with preserved and reduced renal function or with and without diabetic nephropathy, respectively.
