AbstractBackgroundThe aim of the present study was to assess the risk of overall mortality, coronary artery disease (CAD), and congestive heart failure (CHF) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treated with metformin (MF) and an additional antidiabetic agent.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted using an academic health center enterprise‐wide electronic health record (EHR) system to identify 13 185 adult patients (>18 years) with T2DM from January 2008 to June 2013 and received a prescription for MF in combination with a sulfonylurea (SU; n = 9419), thiazolidinedione (TZD; n = 1846), dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 inhibitor (DPP‐4i; n = 1487), or a glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist (GLP‐1a; n = 433). Multivariate Cox models with propensity analysis were used to compare cohorts, with MF+SU serving as the comparator group.ResultsThe mean (±SD) age was 60.6 ± 12.6 years, with 54.6% male and 75.8% Caucasians. The median follow‐up was 4 years. There were 1077 deaths, 1733 CAD events, and 528 CHF events in 55 100 person‐years of follow‐up. A higher risk of CHF was observed with MF+DPP‐4i use (hazard ratio [HR] 1.104; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.04–1.17; P = 0.001). A trend towards improved overall survival for users of MF+TZD (HR 0.86; 95% CI 0.74–1.0; P = 0.05) and MF+GLP‐1a (HR 0.569; 95% CI 0.30–1.07; P = 0.08) was observed. No significant differences in the risk of CAD were identified.ConclusionsConsistent with recent studies, our results raise concern for an increased risk of CHF with use of DPP‐4i.
