Promising data suggests that SGLT2i may also reduce the risk of urolithiasis. We compared the risk of urolithiasis among diabetic patients with a history of stones prescribed SGLT2i versus other antihyperglycemics. METHODS: TriNetX is a collaborative research enterprise with real-time data from over 70 healthcare organizations with more than 100 million patients. We queried the database for adult patients presenting between 1/1/2016 and 1/1/2021 with type 2 diabetes mellitus and a prior history of urolithiasis. Patients receiving SGLT2i therapy were compared against two groups: (1) patients receiving dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4i) or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1-RA) and (2) all patients not receiving SGLT2i. Propensity score matching was performed to control for confounding. The risk of urolithiasis was compared at 1, 3, and 5 years after initiation of therapy, and Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to determine freedom from a stone event. RESULTS: Among diabetics with a history of stones, SGLT2i was prescribed to 3,576 patients, DPP-4i or GLP-1-RA to 17,952 patients, and any non-SGLT2i to 131,592 patients. After matching, each group contained 3,572 patients. The cumulative incidence of urolithiasis in patients prescribed SGLT2i was 24.0% at 1 year, 33.8% at 3 years, and 35.9% at 5 years. In comparison, the risk of urolithiasis was approximately 20% higher at each timepoint when patients were prescribed DPP-4i or GLP-1-RA, or any non-SGLT2i therapy (Table 1). As such, patients taking SGLT2i demonstrated the highest rates of freedom from a stone event over the course of 5 years (p<0.001) (Figure 1). CONCLUSIONS: When managing diabetic patients with a history of stones, the use of SGLT2i presents an attractive option due to the significantly decreased risk of future stone events when compared to other antihyperglycemic medications.
