Introduction: Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have an anti-inflammatory effect in atherosclerotic disease, renal injury and neuroinflammation. The aim of this study is to assess Crohn’s disease (CD) related outcomes in diabetic patients treated with SGLT2.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed using TriNetX (Cambridge, MA) which provides real-time access to deidentified electronic health records of more than 101 million patients. Patients with CD were identified using ICD-10 codes. We identified diabetic patients with concomitant CD who received SGLT2 inhibitors. The CD control cohort included patients with CD and diabetes who did not receive SGLT2 inhibitors. 1:1 propensity-score matching (PSM) was performed for age, gender, race, ethnicity, IBD subtype & phenotype, prior IBD related surgery and known co-morbid conditions. IBD-related outcomes were evaluated. We excluded patients on glucagon-like peptide GLP-1 and dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitors patients. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated.
Results: After propensity matching, there were 1,345 diabetic patients with CD on SGLT2. Diabetic patients with CD who received SGLT2 were less likely to be hospitalized (OR 0.55, 95%CI 0.47-0.65), require intestinal resection (OR 0.58, 95% CI 0.47-0.72), or require steroids (OR 0.63, 95% CI 0.53-0.73) when compared to those not on SGLT2. Disease related outcomes were also less in those patients receiving SGLT2; perianal fistula (OR 0.39, 95% CI 0.21-0.74), intestinal fistula (OR 0.44, 95% CI 0.21-0.74), or bowel obstruction (OR 0.41, 95% CI 0.20-0.87).
Discussion: Although is not possible to assess a causal relationship, the diabetic CD patients who received SGLT2 had fewer hospitalizations, IBD-related complications and surgery. Future study is needed to investigate the potential metabolic and inflammatory impact of SGLT2 inhibitors in IBD.
