RESUMO
AIM: To conduct a post hoc subgroup analysis of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) from the RECAP study, who were treated with sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) combination therapy, focusing only on those patients who had chronic kidney disease (CKD), to examine whether the composite renal outcome differed between those who received SGLT2 inhibitor treatment first and those who received a GLP-1RA first. METHODS: We included 438 patients with CKD (GLP-1RA-first group, n = 223; SGLT2 inhibitor-first group, n = 215) from the 643 T2D patients in the RECAP study. The incidence of the composite renal outcome, defined as progression to macroalbuminuria and/or a ≥50% decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), was analysed using a propensity score (PS)-matched model. Furthermore, we calculated the win ratio for these composite renal outcomes, which were weighted in the following order: (1) both a ≥50% decrease in eGFR and progression to macroalbuminuria; (2) a decrease in eGFR of ≥50% only; and (3) progression to macroalbuminuria only. RESULTS: Using the PS-matched model, 132 patients from each group were paired. The incidence of renal composite outcomes did not differ between the two groups (GLP-1RA-first group, 10%; SGLT2 inhibitor-first group, 17%; odds ratio 1.80; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.85 to 4.26; p = 0.12). The win ratio of the GLP-1RA-first group versus the SGLT2 inhibitor-first group was 1.83 (95% CI 1.71 to 1.95; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Although the renal composite outcome did not differ between the two groups, the win ratio of the GLP-1RA-first group versus the SGLT2 inhibitor-first group was significant. These results suggest that, in GLP-1RA and SGLT2 inhibitor combination therapy, the addition of an SGLT2 inhibitor to baseline GLP-1RA treatment may lead to more favourable renal outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Personal health record (PHR) systems let individuals utilize their own health information to maintain and improve quality of life. Using PHRs is expected to support self-management in patients with lifestyle-related diseases. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to identify predictors of the willingness to use PHRs among patients who are prescribed medications for lifestyle-related diseases. METHODS: We recruited pharmacy patrons, aged 20 years or older, who had received at least one medication indicated for hypertension, dyslipidemia, or diabetes. Participants completed self-administered questionnaires regarding their previous diseases, awareness of health care, experience in using PHRs, willingness to use PHRs, and barriers to using PHRs. Data were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression models. RESULTS: Of the 3708 subjects meeting eligibility criteria, 2307 replies (62.22%) were collected. While only 174 (7.54%) participants had previous PHR experience, 853 (36.97%) expressed willingness to use PHRs. In the multivariate analysis, considering exercise to be important for health management (odds ratio [OR] 1.57, 95% CI 1.12-2.21; P=.009), obtaining medical information from books or magazines (OR 1.23, 95% CI 0.96-1.59; P=.10), and obtaining medical information from the internet (OR 1.45, 95% CI 1.13-1.87; P=.004) were newly identified predictors. These were in addition to known predictors, such as being employed, owning information terminals, and previous PHR experience. CONCLUSIONS: Patients who have an active and positive attitude toward health seem to be more willing to use PHRs. Investigating willingness should contribute to the development of more useful PHRs for self-management among patients prescribed medications for lifestyle-related diseases.

Decrease in blood pressure contributes to the reno-protective effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors; however, its relationship with home monitoring of blood pressure is unclear. We retrospectively analyzed 101 visiting members of the Kanagawa Physicians Association with type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease who were taking sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors and who monitored blood pressure at home for a median treatment period of 14 months. At baseline, the mean value of HbA1c was 59.3 mmol/mol (7.6%) and the median value of albumin-creatinine ratio was 30.9 mg/gCr that was evaluated in 88 patients. The mean blood pressure both at office and home significantly decreased, and there was a significant positive correlation between the change in albumin-creatinine ratio and both blood pressures. Controlled hypertension, masked hypertension, white coat hypertension, and sustained hypertension were observed in 10.9%, 13.9%, 12.9%, and 62.4% of patients at the initiation of therapy, which changed to 10.9%, 16.8%, 17.8%, and 54.5% at the time of the survey, respectively. In conclusion, management of blood pressure both at office and home was found to be important for the reno-protective effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors along with strict blood pressure management.

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2-I) shows excellent antihypertensive effects in addition to its hypoglycemic effects. However, whether body mass index (BMI) affects the antihypertensive effect of SGLT2-I remains unknown. We investigated the impact of baseline BMI on the achievement of target blood pressure (BP) with SGLT2-I treatment in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). We retrospectively evaluated 447 Japanese patients with T2DM and CKD treated with SGLT2-I for at least 1 year. The primary outcome was achieving the target BP (<130/80 mmHg) after SGLT2-I treatment. Patients were divided into two groups according to a baseline BMI of 29.1 determined by receiver operating characteristic analysis and analyzed in a cohort model with propensity score matching. In each group, 130 patients were compared by propensity score matching. The target BP achievement rate was significantly higher in the BMI < 29.1 group than in the BMI ≥ 29.1 group (34% and 21%, respectively, p = 0.03). The odds ratio for achieving the target BP in the BMI ≥ 29.1 group was 0.50 (95% confidence interval, 0.28-0.90, p = 0.02). The BMI < 29.1 group had significantly lower systolic and diastolic BPs after SGLT2-I treatment than the BMI ≥ 29.1 group. Only the BMI < 29.1 group was showed a significant decrease in the logarithmic albumin-to-creatinine ratio from baseline after SGLT2-I treatment. In patients with T2DM and CKD, baseline BMI was associated with the antihypertensive effects of SGLT2-I. Patients in the lower baseline BMI group were more likely to achieve the target BP after SGLT2-I treatment. Pretreatment BMI affects the antihypertensice effect of SGLT2 inhibirors in patients with T2DM and CKD.

Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that both SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP1Ra) have protective effects in patients with diabetic kidney disease. Combination therapy with SGLT2i and GLP1Ra is commonly used in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We previously reported that in combination therapy of SGLT2i and GLP1Ra, the effect on the renal composite outcome did not differ according to the preceding drug. However, it remains unclear how the initiation of combination therapy is associated with the renal function depending on the preceding drug. In this post hoc analysis, we analyzed a total of 643 T2D patients (GLP1Ra-preceding group, n = 331; SGLT2i-preceding group, n = 312) and investigated the differences in annual eGFR decline. Multiple imputation and propensity score matching were performed to compare the annual eGFR decline. The reduction in annual eGFR decline in the SGLT2i-preceding group (pre: -3.5 ± 9.4 mL/min/1.73 m2/year, post: -0.4 ± 6.3 mL/min/1.73 m2/year, p < 0.001), was significantly smaller after the initiation of GLP1Ra, whereas the GLP1Ra-preceding group tended to slow the eGFR decline but not to a statistically significant extent (pre: -2.0 ± 10.9 mL/min/1.73 m2/year, post: -1.8 ± 5.4 mL/min/1.73 m2/year, p = 0.83) after the initiation of SGLT2i. After the addition of GLP1Ra to SGLT2i-treated patients, slower annual eGFR decline was observed. Our data raise the possibility that the renal benefits-especially annual eGFR decline-of combination therapy with SGLT2i and GLP1Ra may be affected by the preceding drug.
RESUMO
We aim to assess the data of patients with hypertension in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, collected in 2021 that were provided by the Japan Medical Association Database of Clinical Medicine. Data collected in 2011 and 2014 by the Kanagawa Physicians Association were used for comparative analysis. The target blood pressure (BP) achievement rates for patients whose target office and home BP were <140/90 mmHg and <135/85 mmHg, respectively, were 72.5% and 75.8% in 2011, 66.0% and 68.5% in 2014, and 46.7% and 83.3% in 2021, respectively. The target office BP achievement rate in 2021 was significantly lower than those in 2011 and 2014 (p ≤ 0.009). In contrast, there was no significant difference and improvement of the achievement rates for patients whose target office and home BP were <130/80 mmHg and <125/75 mmHg, respectively, among the three surveys. After the Japanese Society of Hypertension 2019 Guidelines were released, the achievement rates for patients whose target BP was tightened were significantly lower than those for patients with unchanged target BP (office/home, p < 0.001/0.04). The proportion of the patients who achieved their office and home target BP using more than three drugs was 38.5% and 20.0%, respectively. In the present analysis, we unveiled the current problems encountered in the clinical management of hypertension in Japan. In particular, efforts should be focused on the management of patients that require strict BP control.

Aims: This study aimed to clarify the renal influence of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1Ras) with or without sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) on Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: We retrospectively extracted 547 patients with T2DM who visited the clinics of members of Kanagawa Physicians Association. The progression of albuminuria status and/or aâ ≥â 15% decrease in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) per year was set as the renal composite outcome. Propensity score matching was performed to compare GLP1Ra-treated patients with and without SGLT2i. Results: After matching, 186 patients in each group were compared. There was no significant difference of the incidence of the renal composite outcomes (17% vs. 20%, Pâ =â 0.50); however, the annual decrease in the eGFR was significantly smaller and the decrease in the urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio was larger in GLP1Ra-treated patients with the concomitant use of SGLT2is than in those without it (-1.1â ±â 5.0 vs. -2.8â ±â 5.1â mL/min/1.73 m2, Pâ =â 0.001; and -0.08â ±â 0.61 vs. 0.05â ±â 0.52, Pâ =â 0.03, respectively). Conclusion: The concomitant use of SGLT2i with GLP1Ra improved the annual decrease in the eGFR and the urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio in Japanese patients with T2DM.
RESUMO
AIMS: Combination therapy with sodium-glucose cotransporter inhibitors (SGLT2is) and GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP1Ras) is now of interest in clinical practice. The present study evaluated the effects of the preceding drug type on the renal outcome in clinical practice. METHODS: We retrospectively extracted type 2 diabetes mellitus patients who had received both SGLT2i and GLP1Ra treatment for at least 1 year. A total of 331 patients in the GLP1Ra-preceding group and 312 patients in the SGLT2i-preceding group were ultimately analyzed. Either progression of the albuminuria status and/or a ≥30% decrease in the eGFR was set as the primary renal composite outcome. The analysis using propensity score with inverse probability weighting was performed for the outcome. RESULTS: The incidences of the renal composite outcome in the SGLT2i- and GLP1Ra-preceding groups were 28% and 25%, respectively, with an odds ratio [95% confidence interval] of 1.14 [0.75, 1.73] (p = .54). A logistic regression analysis showed that the mean arterial pressure (MAP) at baseline, the logarithmic value of the urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio at baseline, and the change in MAP were independent factors influencing the renal composite outcome. CONCLUSION: With combination therapy of SGLT2i and GLP1Ra, the preceding drug did not affect the renal outcome.

OBJECTIVE: The relationship between the white-coat effect (WCE), defined as white-coat hypertension under treatment, and the frequency of orthostatic hypotension (OH) is not known. We conducted an orthostatic test in patients with WCE to determine the frequency of OH. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study of 5631 patients with hypertension visiting general practitioners nationwide, in which 4305 patients with hypertension recorded their home blood pressure (BP) and consented to the orthostatic test. Patients with hypertension were divided into four groups: controlled hypertension (CHT), masked hypertension (MHT), sustained hypertension (SHT), and WCE. The orthostatic test was performed, and BP and pulse rate were measured immediately and 1 min after orthostasis. RESULTS: The OH frequencies immediately after standing in CHT, WCE, SHT, and MHT patients were 7, 11.7, 12.1, and 6.6%, respectively, and those at 1 min after standing were 7.1, 13.1, 11.6 and 6.9%, respectively (Chi-square test, P < 0.01, respectively). Logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the relationship between WCE and the frequency of OH. The frequency of OH immediately after standing was significantly increased [adjusted odds ratio (AOR), 1.702; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.246-2.326; P < 0.01]. The frequency of OH at 1 min after standing was also significantly higher (AOR, 1.897; 95% CI, 1.396-2.578; P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: When the standing test was performed for patients with WCE, the frequency of OH increased. Thus, it is important to recognize the possibility of OH in patients with WCE to avoid adverse events associated with excessive hypotension.

To prevent further spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the Japanese government announced a state of emergency, resulting in major stress for the population. The aim of this study was to investigate a possible association between changes in daily stress and blood pressure (BP) in Japanese patients. We retrospectively investigated 748 patients with chronic disease who were treated by the Sagamihara Physicians Association to determine changes in stress during the COVID-19 state of emergency from 7 April to 31 May 2020. During the state of emergency, office BP significantly increased from 136.5 ± 17.5/78.2 ± 12.0 to 138.6 ± 18.6/79.0 ± 12.2 (p < 0.001 and p = 0.03, respectively). In contrast, home BP significantly decreased from 128.2 ± 10.3/75.8 ± 8.8 to 126.9 ± 10.2/75.2 ± 9.0 (p < 0.001 and p = 0.01, respectively), and the ratio of white coat hypertension was significantly increased (p < 0.001). Fifty-eight percent of patients worried about adverse effects of hypertension as a condition contributing to the severity and poor prognosis of COVID-19; decreased amounts of exercise and worsened diet compositions were observed in 39% and 17% of patients, respectively. In conclusion, a significant increase in office BP with the white coat phenomenon was observed during the state of emergency, as well as an increase in related stress. To prevent cardiovascular events, general practitioners should pay more attention to BP management during stressful global events, including the COVID-19 pandemic.

AIMS/INTRODUCTION: After the first coronavirus disease 2019 state of emergency announcement, there was an increase in stress that might have affected the self-management of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study identified the changes in clinical findings and stress among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and investigated the characteristics of patients who experienced an increase in blood pressure (BP) after the announcement. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospectively, we scrutinized 310 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were treated by the Sagamihara Physicians Association. After the announcement, 164 and 146 patients showed an increase (ΔBP >0 group) and decrease in BP (ΔBP ≤0 group), respectively. The propensity score matching method was used to compare the differences in clinical findings and stress-related questionnaire responses between the two groups. RESULTS: After the announcement, 47% of patients experienced an increase in daily stress. Furthermore, 17% and 36% reported worsening dietary intake and a decrease in exercise, respectively. More patients reported that their dietary and salt intake had worsened in the ΔBP >0 group than in the ΔBP ≤0 group (9% vs 20%, P = 0.02, and 3% vs 10%, P = 0.04, respectively). Additionally, both systolic and diastolic BP measured in the office were significantly increased (P = 0.02 and P = 0.03, respectively); however, systolic BP measured at home significantly decreased (P = 0.01). The total stress scores were higher in the ΔBP >0 group than in the ΔBP ≤0 group (0.05 ± 2.61 and 0.93 ± 2.70, respectively, P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: An increase in stress and, particularly, worsening dietary and salt intake were noted among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who experienced an increase in BP after the state of emergency announcement.

AIMS: This study aimed to clarify the differences in how sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1Ra) influence kidney function in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: We retrospectively built two databases of patients with T2DM who visited the clinics of members of Kanagawa Physicians Association. We defined the renal composite outcome as either progression of albuminuria status and/or > 15% deterioration in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) per year. We used propensity score matching to compare patient outcomes after SGLT2i and GLP1Ra treatments. RESULTS: The incidence of renal composite outcomes was significantly lower in SGLT2i-treated patients than in GLP1Ra-treated patients (n = 15[11%] and n = 27[20%], respectively, P = 0.001). Annual eGFR changes (mL/min/1.73 m2/year) between the two groups differed significantly (-1.8 [95 %CI, -2.7, -0.9] in SGLT2i-treated patients and - 3.4 [95 %CI, -4.6, -2.2] in GLP1Ra-treated patients, P = 0.0049). The urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio changed owing to a significant interaction between the presence or absence of a decrease in systolic blood pressure and the difference in treatments (P < 0.04). CONCLUSION: Renal composite outcome incidence was lower in SGLT2i-treated patients than in GLP1Ra-treated patients.

Aim: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) provide renal protection in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The aim of this study was to elucidate the renal effects of long-term use of six types of SGLT2is in Japanese patients with T2DM and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Materials and Methods: The Kanagawa Physicians Association maintains a registry of patients who visit their 31 clinics. We retrieved clinical data of patients with T2DM and CKD who were prescribed with SGLT2is for >1 year. Results: A total of 763 patients with a median treatment duration of 33 months were included. The logarithmic value of urine albumin-creatinine ratio (LNACR) decreased significantly from 1.60 ± 0.65 to 1.51 ± 0.67. The multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the LNACR at the initiation of treatment, change in (Δ) diastolic blood pressure, and Δ hemoglobin A1c were independently correlated with ΔLNACR (P < 0.001). The decrease in the LNACR was significantly smaller in the patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) [mL/(min ·1.73 m2)] of <60 (P < 0.05). The eGFR decreased from 77.4 ± 22.3 to 72.7 ± 22.5 mL/(min ·1.73 m2) (P < 0.001). The multiple linear regression analysis showed that the LNACR at the initiation of treatment, Δbody weight at the previous survey, ΔeGFR at the previous survey, and the eGFR at the initiation of treatment correlated independently with ΔeGFR during the maintenance period (P < 0.001). Greater changes in the eGFR during the maintenance period were observed in the patients with macroalbuminuria or eGFR of <60 (P < 0.01). Conclusions: The study confirmed that the long-term use of six types of SGLT2i improved the albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR), although the eGFR gradually decreased during the treatment. The change in the ACR was significantly smaller in the patients with eGFR of <60 mL/(min ·1.73 m2) than in those with eGFR of >60 mL/(min ·1.73 m2). However, this was a retrospective observational study; further studies are needed to formulate final conclusions.

AIMS/INTRODUCTION: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) improve renal outcome in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, but the mechanism is not fully understood. The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the association of achieved blood pressure with renal outcomes in Japanese type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with chronic kidney disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We assessed 624 Japanese type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with chronic kidney disease taking SGLT2i for >1 year. The patients were classified as those with post-treatment mean arterial pressure (MAP) of ≥92 mmHg (n = 344) and those with MAP of <92 mmHg (n = 280) for propensity score matching (1:1 nearest neighbor match with 0.04 of caliper value and no replacement). The end-point was a composite of progression of albuminuria or a decrease in the estimated glomerular filtration rate by ≥15% per year. RESULTS: By propensity score matching, a matched cohort model was constructed, including 201 patients in each group. The incidence of renal composite outcome was significantly lower among patients with MAP of <92 mmHg than among patients with MAP of ≥92 mmHg (n = 11 [6%] vs n = 26 [13%], respectively, P = 0.001). The change in estimated glomerular filtration rate was similar in the two groups; however, the change in the albumin-to-creatinine ratio was significantly larger in patients with MAP of <92 mmHg. CONCLUSIONS: In Japanese type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with chronic kidney disease, blood pressure after SGLT2i administration influences the renal composite outcome. Blood pressure management is important, even during treatment with SGLT2i.

AIM: The aim of this study was to assess the renal effects of the glucose-lowering SGLT2 inhibitors in Japanese type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with chronic kidney disease. METHODS: The Kanagawa Physicians Association maintains a registry of patients who visit their 31 clinics. Clinical data of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with chronic kidney disease, who were prescribed SGLT2 inhibitors in addition to other treatments, were collected and analysed. RESULTS: SGLT2i was associated with a fall in HbA1c from 64.1 ± 16.7 mmol/mol (8.0 ± 1.5%) to 56.5 ± 12.9 mmol/mol (7.3 ± 1.2%) ( p < 0.01) in 869 analysed cases, a decrease in urine albumin-creatinine ratio from a median of 47.1 to 41.1 mg/gCr, and decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate from 77.7 ± 23.9 to 75.0 ± 23.9 mL/min/1.73 m2 ( p < 0.01). The effect on albumin-creatinine ratio was independent of age or stage of estimated glomerular filtration; however, there was a significant negative correlation between albumin-creatinine ratio at the initiation of SGLT2 inhibitor and change in ACR. Multiple linear regression analysis identified use of empagliflozin, ß-blockers, and sulphonylureas, Δsystolic blood pressure at office, serum Cr and albumin-creatinine ratio value at initiation of SGLT2 inhibitor as independent and significant determinants of change in ACR.

AIM: The renoprotective effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors is thought to be due, at least in part, to a decrease in blood pressure. The aim of this study was to determine the renal effects of these inhibitors in low blood pressure patients and the dependence of such effect on blood pressure management status. METHODS: The subjects of this retrospective study were 740 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease who had been managed at the clinical facilities of the Kanagawa Physicians Association. Data on blood pressure management status and urinary albumin-creatinine ratio were analyzed before and after treatment. RESULTS: Changes in the logarithmic value of urinary albumin-creatinine ratio in 327 patients with blood pressure < 130/80 mmHg at the initiation of treatment and in 413 patients with BP above 130/80 mmHg were -0.13 ± 1.05 and -0.24 ± 0.97, respectively. However, there was no significant difference between the two groups by analysis of covariance models after adjustment of the logarithmic value of urinary albumin-creatinine ratio at initiation of treatment. Changes in the logarithmic value of urinary albumin-creatinine ratio in patients with mean blood pressure of <102 mmHg (n = 537) and those with ≥102 mmHg (n = 203) at the time of the survey were -0.25 ± 1.02 and -0.03 ± 0.97, respectively, and the difference was significant in analysis of covariance models even after adjustment for the logarithmic value of urinary albumin-creatinine ratio at initiation of treatment (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Our results confirmed that blood pressure management status after treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors influences the extent of change in urinary albumin-creatinine ratio. Stricter blood pressure management is needed to allow the renoprotective effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors.

This study attempted to clarify the differences in blood pressure (BP) between the office (clinic) and home settings in patients with controlled, sustained, masked or white-coat hypertension. The following formula was used: office mean systolic BP (omSBP)-mean morning home SBP (mmhSBP)/office mean diastolic BP (omDBP)-mean morning home DBP (mmhDBP). The paired t-test was used for statistical analysis. The omSBP-mmhSBP/omDBP-mmhDBP calculation yielded the following results: among normotensive subjects, -1.1±11.2/-1.7±8.5 mm Hg (mean SBP and mean DBP were higher at home than in the office; n=451, P=0.038 in SBP, P=0.000 in DBP); in controlled hypertensive patients, -0.42±10.9/-2.2±8.2 mm Hg (n=1362, P=0.160 in SBP, P=0.000 in DBP); among sustained hypertensive patients, 5.6±14.7/0.048±9.9 mm Hg (n=1370, P=0.000 in SBP, P=0.857 in DBP); in masked hypertensive patients, -15.3±12.9/-9.3±9.5 mm Hg (n=1308, both P=0.000); and among white-coat hypertensive patients, 23.7±13.2/8.2±9.1 mm Hg (n=580, both P=0.000). Our results showed a difference of 5 mm Hg in SBP among sustained hypertensive patients, as recommended by the Japanese Society of Hypertension Guidelines for the Management of Hypertension; however, in other hypertensive patient types, the differences in SBP and DBP between office and home measurements differed by >5 mm Hg. Office and home BP measurements should be interpreted cautiously, keeping in mind the clinical setting.

BACKGROUND: The influence of long-term sitagliptin therapy on office blood pressure (BP) and home BP has been unclear. METHODS: In a retrospective cohort study of 454 patients with type 2 diabetes, the following variables were analyzed before and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after initiation of sitagliptin therapy: office systolic blood pressure (SBP), office diastolic blood pressure (DBP), office pulse rate, morning home SBP, morning home DBP, morning home pulse rate, evening home SBP, evening home DBP, evening home pulse rate, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), plasma glucose, lipid profile, and renal function parameters. RESULTS: The office SBP showed a significant decrease after 6 and 12 months of sitagliptin therapy (P < 0.01 and P < 0.01, respectively), while office DBP was decreased significantly at all time points of evaluation (3, 6, 9, and 12 months: P < 0.05, P < 0.001, P < 0.001, and P < 0.05, respectively). Analysis of covariance revealed a significant decrease in office SBP after 6 and 12 months, as well as significant reduction of office DBP after 6 and 9 months. Morning home SBP and DBP were significantly reduced after 6 months, as was evening home DBP after 6 and 12 months, but there was no significant decrease in evening home SBP. HbA1c and plasma glucose levels were significantly reduced at all time points of evaluation. Examination of the lipid profile revealed that total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides were also decreased at all time points of evaluation, while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was significantly reduced after 3, 9, and 12 months. Significant reduction of the estimated glomerular filtration rate was observed after 6, 9, and 12 months, and the urinary albumin/creatinine ratio was significantly lower at 9 and 12 months. Serum creatinine was increased significantly at all time points of evaluation. CONCLUSIONS: BP was slightly but significantly reduced from 6 months after initiation of sitagliptin therapy, indicating that this antidiabetic drug has pleiotropic effects, including an antihypertensive effect.
RESUMO
The aim of this study was to compare the initial and long-term outcomes of sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) and bare-metal stents (BMS) in patients with calcified lesions without performing rotational atherectomy. The subjects were 79 consecutive lesions (38 in the SES group and 41 in the BMS group) which were confirmed to have superficially calcified lesions by intravascular ultrasound. In all lesions, the stent was implanted after predilatation with a balloon. The patient characteristics were not different between the 2 groups. All procedures were successfully performed in both groups. Vessel area was significantly smaller in the SES group than in the BMS group (11.01 +/- 3.88 mm(2) versus 13.08 +/- 3.49 mm(2), P < 0.005), as was the lumen area (5.41 +/- 2.31mm(2) versus 6.48 +/- 2.04 mm(2), P < 0.005). Minimum stent area was significantly smaller in the SES group than in the BMS group (5.61 +/- 1.54 mm(2) versus 6.69 +/- 1.74 mm(2), P < 0.01). In cases in whom angiographic follow-ups were performed, the late loss was significantly smaller in the SES group than in the BMS group (0.19 +/- 0.49 mm versus 0.76 +/- 0.48 mm, P < 0.001). The restenosis rate was significantly lower in the SES group than in the BMS group (8.8% versus 33.3%, P < 0.05) and the TLR rate tended to be lower in the SES group (7.9% versus 19.5%). Stent thrombosis was not observed in either group. The results suggest that SES are more effective than BMS and can be used safely when treating calcified lesions if predilatation with a balloon is possible.
