Abstract
Abstract
Objective
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have well-documented effects in reducing hospitalization or cardiovascular mortality, while the association of SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin (DAPA) and the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients has not been comprehensively investigated. Therefore, we aimed to assess the association between DAPA and AKI risk in AMI patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) therapy.
Methods
Using the Changzhou Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry database, we retrospectively included AMI patients from January 2017 to August 2021 and analyzed the risk of AKI and all-cause mortality after PCI therapy. The patients were divided into two groups according to the use of DAPA (DAPA group and Ctrl group). Patients in the DAPA group started to use DAPA after admission and continued its use during hospitalization and follow-up period. Baseline characteristics were balanced between the two groups with a propensity score matching (PSM) analysis. The outcome was AKI within 7 days after PCI and all-cause mortality during a follow-up of 2 years. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to assess the association between DAPA and AKI risk.
Results
A total of 1839 AMI patients undergoing PCI were enrolled. DAPA was used in 278 (15.1%) patients. Postoperative AKI occurred in 351 (19.1%) cases. A 1:1 PSM analysis was used to reduce confounding factors. The multivariate stepwise regression analysis showed that DAPA (odds ratio, OR 0.66; 95% confidence interval, CI 0.44–0.97; P = 0.036) was an independent protective factor in the entire cohort. After matching, the use of DAPA in AMI patients was independently associated with a decline of AKI risk (OR 0.32; 95% CI, 0.19–0.53; P < 0.001) after hospital admission. Meanwhile, there were significant differences in mortality between the DAPA group and Ctrl group (2.5% vs. 7.6%, P = 0.012).
Conclusion
SGLT2 inhibitor DAPA was associated with lower risks of incident AKI and all-cause mortality in AMI patients after PCI therapy.
