Many studies have found that these medications are beneficial for people with heart failure, regardless of diabetes status. However, there is a lack of information regarding how SGLT-2 inhibitors may help people with chronic kidney disease. Our study is a systematic review and meta-analysis of all available evidence. We have performed a thorough literature search for relevant clinical trials, and we will combine their results in a single measure of effect for each outcome. Assessing the benefits of these drugs would help establish a new therapeutic role for this type of drug"

  string(2215) "Background: Previous systematic reviews have demonstrated the efficacy of SGLT-2 inhibitors in reducing the risk of cardiovascular events and progression of renal outcomes. Nevertheless, most of these studies only included data from patients with T2D; therefore, they did not assess whether the effect is consistent regardless of the presence of T2D. Only one systematic review included data from both diabetic and non-diabetic patients. However, whether SGLT-2 inhibitors are efficacious in patients with CKD in the subgroups of patients with or without T2D was not analyzed.
Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of SGLT-2 inhibitors compared to placebo or standard therapy on cardiovascular and renal outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease with and without T2D.
Study Design: Systemic Review and Meta-analysis
Participants: RCTs of SGLT-2 inhibitors in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
Outcomes:
- Primary cardiovascular outcome (composite): Hospitalization due to heart failure or cardiovascular death
- Primary renal outcome (composite): 40% reduction in eGFR, kidney failure, or kidney-related death
- Secondary outcomes: All-cause mortality, Non-fatal acute myocardial infarction, Non-fatal stroke or cardiovascular death.
Statistical Analysis: For qualitative variables, the frequency and percentage will be reported; for quantitative variables, the mean and the standard deviation will be used instead. Time-to-event outcomes will be summarized by using the reported effect sizes and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) of each study. We will fit the random effects model with the restricted maximum likelihood estimation and the 95% confidence intervals will be calculated using the method developed by Hartung-Knapp which accounts for the uncertainty in the estimate of tau-squared (heterogeneity). We will perform a subgroup analysis to assess any difference in effect in patients with T2D to those without T2D. Therefore, we will assess the interaction between these two groups with a Wald-type test. We will also calculate the difference between effect sizes and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals."

Previous systematic reviews have demonstrated the efficacy of SGLT-2 inhibitors in reducing the risk of cardiovascular events and progression of renal outcomes. Nevertheless, most of these studies only included data from patients with T2D; therefore, they did not assess whether the effect is consistent regardless of the presence of T2D. Only one systematic review included data from both diabetic and non-diabetic patients.
The importance of this research lies in the fact that CKD is one of the most prevalent diseases in the world, so the verification of the efficacy of new therapeutic agents, such as SGLT-2 inhibitors, will help to incorporate alternatives for the management of this pathology, both in patients with DM2 and without DM2.
Finding a positive effect in patients without DM2 will strengthen previous evidence that SGLT-2 inhibitors work through mechanisms that go beyond glycemic control; as its beneficial effect on the kidney. This effect could potentially slow down the progression of CKD, reverse a certain degree of tissue damage and prevent the systemic complications generated by this pathology.
Therefore, this systematic review will help the scientific community, since it will give rise to research for the development of new active principles of the same pharmacological family, with an effect more directed to these other mechanisms."

Heterogeneity will be calculated using tau-squared. The I-squared statistics will also be calculated as it estimates how much of the total variability in the effect sizes can be attributed to heterogeneity among the true effects. The 95% confidence intervals of tau-squared and I-squared will be calculated. Additionally, 95% prediction intervals will be determined.[18] Publication bias will be explored using contour enhanced funnel plots for outcomes reported in at least 10 studies.[19]

Project Title: The effect of SLGT-2 inhibitors in patients with chronic kidney disease with or without type 2 DM: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Scientific Abstract: Background: Previous systematic reviews have demonstrated the efficacy of SGLT-2 inhibitors in reducing the risk of cardiovascular events and progression of renal outcomes. Nevertheless, most of these studies only included data from patients with T2D; therefore, they did not assess whether the effect is consistent regardless of the presence of T2D. Only one systematic review included data from both diabetic and non-diabetic patients. However, whether SGLT-2 inhibitors are efficacious in patients with CKD in the subgroups of patients with or without T2D was not analyzed.
Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of SGLT-2 inhibitors compared to placebo or standard therapy on cardiovascular and renal outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease with and without T2D.
Study Design: Systemic Review and Meta-analysis
Participants: RCTs of SGLT-2 inhibitors in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
Outcomes:
- Primary cardiovascular outcome (composite): Hospitalization due to heart failure or cardiovascular death
- Primary renal outcome (composite): 40% reduction in eGFR, kidney failure, or kidney-related death
- Secondary outcomes: All-cause mortality, Non-fatal acute myocardial infarction, Non-fatal stroke or cardiovascular death.
Statistical Analysis: For qualitative variables, the frequency and percentage will be reported; for quantitative variables, the mean and the standard deviation will be used instead. Time-to-event outcomes will be summarized by using the reported effect sizes and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) of each study. We will fit the random effects model with the restricted maximum likelihood estimation and the 95% confidence intervals will be calculated using the method developed by Hartung-Knapp which accounts for the uncertainty in the estimate of tau-squared (heterogeneity). We will perform a subgroup analysis to assess any difference in effect in patients with T2D to those without T2D. Therefore, we will assess the interaction between these two groups with a Wald-type test. We will also calculate the difference between effect sizes and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals.

Brief Project Background and Statement of Project Significance: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors are used to treat people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D)
Previous systematic reviews have demonstrated the efficacy of SGLT-2 inhibitors in reducing the risk of cardiovascular events and progression of renal outcomes. Nevertheless, most of these studies only included data from patients with T2D; therefore, they did not assess whether the effect is consistent regardless of the presence of T2D. Only one systematic review included data from both diabetic and non-diabetic patients.
The importance of this research lies in the fact that CKD is one of the most prevalent diseases in the world, so the verification of the efficacy of new therapeutic agents, such as SGLT-2 inhibitors, will help to incorporate alternatives for the management of this pathology, both in patients with DM2 and without DM2.
Finding a positive effect in patients without DM2 will strengthen previous evidence that SGLT-2 inhibitors work through mechanisms that go beyond glycemic control; as its beneficial effect on the kidney. This effect could potentially slow down the progression of CKD, reverse a certain degree of tissue damage and prevent the systemic complications generated by this pathology.
Therefore, this systematic review will help the scientific community, since it will give rise to research for the development of new active principles of the same pharmacological family, with an effect more directed to these other mechanisms.

Specific Aims of the Project: Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of SGLT-2 inhibitors compared to placebo or standard therapy on cardiovascular and renal outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease with and without T2D.
Hypotheses:
- SGLT-2 inhibitors have a beneficial therapeutic effect on cardiovascular outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus, compared to standard treatment or placebo.
- SGLT-2 inhibitors have a beneficial therapeutic effect on renal outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus, compared to standard treatment or placebo.

Standard therapy can include drugs the following drugs: metformin, sulfonylureas, Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogs, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors), angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), statins, and any other treatment for other comorbidities.

Other Variables of Interest that will be used in your analysis and how they will be categorized/defined for your study: - Chronic Kidney Disease defined as an eGFR

Statistical Analysis Plan: Patient baseline characteristics will be summarized according to the type of the variable. For qualitative variables, the frequency and percentage will be reported; for quantitative variables, the mean and the standard deviation will be used instead.
Time-to-event cardiovascular and renal outcomes will be presented as cumulative incidence (events/total participants) and incidence rate (events/1000 person-years).
Time-to-event outcomes will be summarized by using the reported effect sizes and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) of each study.
We will fit the random effects model with the restricted maximum likelihood estimation and the 95% confidence intervals will be calculated using the method developed by Hartung-Knapp which accounts for the uncertainty in the estimate of tau-squared (heterogeneity).[17]
Heterogeneity will be calculated using tau-squared. The I-squared statistics will also be calculated as it estimates how much of the total variability in the effect sizes can be attributed to heterogeneity among the true effects. The 95% confidence intervals of tau-squared and I-squared will be calculated. Additionally, 95% prediction intervals will be determined.[18] Publication bias will be explored using contour enhanced funnel plots for outcomes reported in at least 10 studies.[19]
We will perform a subgroup analysis to assess any difference in effect in patients with T2D to those without T2D. Therefore, we will assess the interaction between these two groups with a Wald-type test. We will also calculate the difference between effect sizes and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals.[20]
To assess the risk of bias in clinical trial, two authors will use the Risk of Bias 2 tool (Rob2); a new version of Cochrane Collaboration tool from the Chapter 8 of Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions.[14] The tool evaluates the risk of bias on an outcome level, and we will use the main cardiovascular and renal outcome for our assessment.

Narrative Summary: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors are drugs used to treat people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). Many studies have found that these medications are beneficial for people with heart failure, regardless of diabetes status. However, there is a lack of information regarding how SGLT-2 inhibitors may help people with chronic kidney disease. Our study is a systematic review and meta-analysis of all available evidence. We have performed a thorough literature search for relevant clinical trials, and we will combine their results in a single measure of effect for each outcome. Assessing the benefits of these drugs would help establish a new therapeutic role for this type of drug
