Relative frequency of urinary tract infections in patients affected by diabetes mellitus type 2 treated with metformin and SGLT2 inhibitor. Network meta-analysis

Introduction and aim: The of this research was to conduct a network meta-analysis based on a systematic literature search to compare the relative frequency of urinary tract infections using sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors combined with metformin in the therapy of type 2 diabetes. Method: MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched to identify publications of randomized, controlled trials investigating SGLT2 inhibitors combined with metformin in the therapy of type 2 diabetes and providing information on the frequency of urinary tract infections. Results: 10 165 unique citations were screened to identify 10 publications to be included in the network meta-analysis. The network meta-analysis showed reduced risk of urinary tract infections for low-dose ertugliflozin compared to other SGLT2 inhibitors (ertugliflozin 5 mg vs. empagliflozin 10 mg: RR: 0.606, 95% CrI: 0.264-1.415; ertugliflozin 5 mg vs. dapagliflozin 10 mg: RR = 0.853, 95% CrI: 0.301-2.285). For high-dose comparisons, empagliflozin 25 mg showed reduced risk of urinary tract infections compared to both ertugliflozin 15 mg (RR = 0.745, 95% CrI 0.330-1.610) and dapagliflozin 10 mg (RR = 0.680, 95% CrI: 0.337-1.289). The difference between active substances and their doses was not statistically significant for the relative frequency of urinary tract infections. The meta-regression revealed a statistically significant association between baseline fasting plasma glucose level and relative frequency of urinary tract infections (β = 0.785, 95% CrI: 0.062-1.587). Conclusion: There was no statistically significant difference between SGLT2 inhibitors investigated in this study in terms of the relative frequency of urinary tract infections. This research demonstrates the applicability of network meta-analyses when assessing the relative effectiveness and safety of interventions. Orv Hetil. 2020; 161(13): 491-501.
