OBJECTIVES: We aimed to evaluate the relationship between use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) and incidence of various respiratory and infectious diseases and site-specific fractures.

METHODS: Large randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of SGLT2is enrolling more than 400 subjects were included. Outcomes of interest were various serious adverse events regarding to respiratory and infectious disorders and site-specific fractures. Meta-analysis was done using risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) as effect size.

RESULTS: Thirty-two large RCTs were included in this meta-analysis. Use of SGLT2is was significantly associated with the lower incidences of 6 kinds of noninfectious respiratory diseases {e.g., Asthma (RR 0.64, 95% CI 0.43-0.96; P = 0.0299), Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD] (RR 0.75, 95% CI 0.62-0.91; P = 0.0027), and Respiratory failure (RR 0.78, 95% CI 0.61-0.99; P = 0.0447)} and 4 kinds of infectious respiratory diseases {e.g., Bronchitis (RR 0.61, 95% CI 0.46-0.81; P = 0.0007), and Pneumonia (RR 0.85, 95% CI 0.78-0.93; P = 0.0002)}. Use of SGLT2is was not significantly associated with the incidences of 31 kinds of site-specific fractures (e.g., Hip fracture, Femoral neck fracture, and Spinal fracture; P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS: Our meta-analysis confirmed the benefits of SGLT2is against 6 kinds of noninfectious respiratory diseases (e.g., Asthma, COPD, and Respiratory failure) and 4 kinds of infectious respiratory diseases (e.g., Bronchitis, and Pneumonia). These findings suggest a likelihood that SGLT2is might be used to prevent or treat these respiratory diseases. Moreover, our meta-analysis for the first time revealed no association between use of SGLT2is and incidence of various site-specific fractures.
