DPP4 and diabetes mellitus: GLP-1 RAs were also associated with reduced risks of MACEs (HR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.58-0.65), cardiovascular death (HR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.53-0.61), all-cause mortality (HR 0.63; 95% CI, 0.60-0.66), and progression to dialysis (SHR, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.54-0.70).<h4>Conclusions and relevance</h4>In this nationwide cohort study of patients with diabetes and prior MALEs, treatment with GLP-1 RAs was associated with significantly lower risks of recurrent limb events, cardiovascular events, all-cause mortality, and kidney disease progression compared with DPP-4 inhibitors.
