Abstract
The work attempts to describe mortality outcomes of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2I) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and cancer. Using Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database to analyze the prognosis of cancer patients with coexisting DM, comparing those receiving SGLT2I with those who do not. After index-year and matching (age, sex, some comorbidities and medications), weobtain two groups of 20,339 patients. After further adjustment for age, sex and comorbidities, those with SGLT2I had a lower adjusted hazard ratio of mortality (aHR: 0.64 [95% CI: 0.60-0.68]). We conclude that SGLT2I medication should be considered first choice in patients suffering from DM and cancer.
