Abstract in brief

  • The study analyzed trends from 2013 to 2018 in the prescribing patterns and patient characteristics for SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP1 receptor agonists, using US-based claims data.
  • Empagliflozin's use increased significantly over five years, especially among patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD HF), while canagliflozin declined; similarly, dulaglutide's prescriptions grew, primarily replacing liraglutide, particularly among patients with CVD HF.
  • Most prescribers were internists or endocrinologists, with cardiologists prescribing less; changes in drug labels and guidelines influenced preferences for empagliflozin and dulaglutide, while factors like cost and ease of use also impacted prescribing choices.
