ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: New antihyperglycemic medications have been proven to have cardiovascular (CV) and renal benefits in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM); however, an evidence-based decision tree in specific clinical scenarios is lacking. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), with trial sequential analysis (TSA). Randomized controlled trial inclusion criteria were patients with T2DM from 1 of these subgroups: elderly, obese, previous atherosclerotic CV disease (ASCVD), previous coronary heart disease (CHD), previous heart failure (HF), or previous chronic kidney disease (CKD). Randomized controlled trials describing those subgroups with at least 48 weeks of follow-up were included. Outcomes: 3-point major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), CV death, hospitalization due to HF, and renal outcomes. We performed direct meta-analysis with the number of events in the intervention and control groups in each subset, and the relative risk of the events was calculated. RESULTS: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) were the only antihyperglycemic agents related to a reduction in CV events in different populations. For obese and elderly populations, GLP-1 RA were associated with benefits in 3-point MACE; for patients with ASCVD, both SGLT2i and GLP-1 RA had benefits in 3-point MACE, while for patients with CHD, only SGLT2i were beneficial. CONCLUSIONS: SGLT2i and GLP-1 RA reduced CV events in selected populations: SGLT2i led to a reduction in events in patients with previous CHD, ASCVD, and HF. GLP-1 RA led to a reduction in CV events in patients with ASCVD, elderly patients, and patients with obesity. Trial sequential analysis shows that these findings are conclusive. This review opens a pathway towards evidence-based, personalized treatment of T2DM. REGISTRATION: PROSPERO CRD42019132807.

OBJETIVOS: avaliar os melhores artigos publicados naliteratura médica acerca do tratamento do diabete mélitogestacional (DMG), verificando a eficácia das drogassobre o controle glicêmico e sua segurança quanto aosresultados perinatais. MÉTODOS: foi realizada busca noportal ?Pubmed? com a seguinte estratégia de busca:?Diabetes, gestational?, utilizando o limite quanto à presençados termos no título ou no resumo. No portal daBireme foi avaliada a literatura nacional e latino-americana,utilizando-se como descritor o termo ?Diabete gestacional?.Também foram incluídos 20 artigos não selecionadosnas bases de dados e constantes em referênciasbibliográficas e artigos clássicos de livros-texto. As referênciassão do período de 1979 até 2011. A revisão deuprioridade a estudos de ensaios clínicos randomizadose relacionados diretamente com o tema. RESULTADOS:a contra-indicação do uso dos hipoglicemiantes orais nagestação é baseada em estudos não controlados e compequena casuística, que mostram um efeito negativo sobrea morbimortalidade materno-fetal. Atualmente estãodisponíveis inúmeros estudos controlados, randomizadoscom grande número de pares avaliados, com eficácia dasdrogas sobre o controle glicêmico oscilando entre 53%e 96% e com resultados perinatais semelhantes entreinsulina, glibenclamida e metformina. CONCLUSÕES: oshipoglicemiantes orais retornam como excelente alternativaà insulinoterapia no tratamento do diabete mélitogestacional após avaliações randomizadas e controladasem número adequado de sujeitos.
PURPOSE: To evaluate the best articles published inmedical literature about the treatment of gestationaldiabetes mellitus (GDM), verifying the effectiveness ofdrugs on glycemic control and its safety regarding theperinatal outcomes. METHODS: We searched the portal?Pubmed? with the following search strategy: ?Diabetes,gestational?, the limit was the presence of thewords in the title or abstract. At the Bireme portal, wereviewed the national literature and latin American literature,using the descriptor ?Diabete gestacional?. Wealso included 20 articles that were not selected in thedatabases but were present at references and articlesof classic textbooks.The references are from the periodof 1979 to 2011.The review has given priority to clinicaltrials studies with direct relation to the subject.RESULTS:a contraindication to the use of oral hypoglycemicagents is based on uncontrolled studies and smallsample size, which show a negative effect on maternaland fetal morbidity and mortality. Currently there aremany randomized controlled trials with large numbersof pairs reviewed, with drug efficacy on glucose controlranging between 53% and 96% and similar perinataloutcomes with insulin, glibenclamide and metformin.CONCLUSIONS: oral hypoglycemic return as an excellentalternative to insulin therapy in the treatment of GDMafter randomized and controlled trial sin adequate numbersof subjects.
