Abstract

Sulphonylureas (SUs) offer effective glycemic control; however, they are generally not recommended anymore due to concerns about cardiovascular (CV) safety, despite absence of a CV safety outcome trial (CVOT). CAROLINA – a randomized noninferiority CVOT concluded a comparable CV safety of linagliptin (a dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor [DPP4I]) and glimepiride (a SU). We synthesized similar CVOTs and indirectly compared the effect of glimepiride vs placebo, and DPP4Is on major CV safety outcomes.
