The association between GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) and nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) remains unclear. Given the debilitating sequelae of NAION and rapid increase of GLP-1RA use, further research is essential to investigate this potential relationship. This study seeks to determine the risk of NAION and ischemic optic neuropathy (ION) in patients prescribed GLP-1RAs.
Retrospective matched cohort study.
TriNetX United States collaborative network.
Patients ≥12 years old with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and considered overweight or obese (high BMI), with at least one ophthalmology or neurology visit. Among T2DM patients, approximately 120,000 patients with a semaglutide prescription and 220,000 prescribed any GLP-1RA were compared to matched T2DM controls. Among high BMI patients, approximately 58,000 on semaglutide and 66,000 on any GLP-1RA were compared to matched controls.
Patients prescribed semaglutide or any GLP-1RA were compared with those on non-GLP-1RA medications. Populations were propensity matched (1:1) on various demographic and risk factors to balance baseline cohorts.
Cumulative incidence and risk of NAION and ION. Risk ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were reported, with significance defined as CI <0.9 or > 1.1.
In T2DM patients prescribed semaglutide, the risk of NAION (RR = 0.7, 95% CI: 0.523-0.937) and ION (RR = 0.788, 95% CI: 0.609-1.102) after 5 years was not significantly increased compared to matched T2DM controls. Similarly, T2DM patients on any GLP-1RA demonstrated no significant difference in the risk of NAION (RR = 0.887, 95% CI: 0.735-1.071) or ION (RR = 0.969, 95% CI: 0.813-1.154) compared to controls. Furthermore, no increased risk of either outcome was found in the high BMI groups prescribed semaglutide or any GLP-1RA. The cumulative 5-year risk of NAION and ION in T2DM patients on semaglutide was 0.065% and 0.08%, respectively. In those with high BMI prescribed semaglutide, the risk of NAION and ION after 2 years was 0.038% and 0.404%, respectively.
There was no significant increase in risk of NAION or ION in patients taking semaglutide or GLP-1RAs compared to T2DM or high BMI controls.
胰高血糖素样肽-1受体激动剂(GLP-1RA)与非动脉炎性前部缺血性视神经病变(NAION)之间的关联仍不明确。鉴于NAION会导致使人衰弱的后遗症,且GLP-1RA的使用迅速增加,进一步研究以调查这种潜在关系至关重要。本研究旨在确定使用GLP-1RA的患者发生NAION和缺血性视神经病变(ION)的风险。
回顾性匹配队列研究。
TriNetX美国协作网络。
年龄≥12岁的2型糖尿病(T2DM)患者,被认为超重或肥胖(高体重指数),且至少有一次眼科或神经科就诊记录。在T2DM患者中,将约120,000例使用司美格鲁肽处方的患者和220,000例使用任何GLP-1RA的患者与匹配的T2DM对照进行比较。在高体重指数患者中,将约58,000例使用司美格鲁肽的患者和66,000例使用任何GLP-1RA的患者与匹配的对照进行比较。
将使用司美格鲁肽或任何GLP-1RA的患者与使用非GLP-1RA药物的患者进行比较。根据各种人口统计学和风险因素对人群进行倾向评分匹配(1:1),以平衡基线队列。
NAION和ION的累积发病率和风险。报告风险比(RR)及95%置信区间(CI),显著性定义为CI<0.9或>1.1。
在使用司美格鲁肽的T2DM患者中,与匹配的T2DM对照相比,5年后NAION(RR = 0.7,95%CI:0.523 - 0.937)和ION(RR = 0.788,95%CI:0.609 - 1.102)的风险没有显著增加。同样,与对照组相比,使用任何GLP-1RA的T2DM患者在NAION(RR = 0.887,95%CI:0.735 - 1.071)或ION(RR = 0.969,95%CI:0.813 - 1.154)风险方面没有显著差异。此外,在使用司美格鲁肽或任何GLP-1RA的高体重指数组中,未发现任何一种结局的风险增加。使用司美格鲁肽的T2DM患者中,NAION和ION的5年累积风险分别为0.065%和0.08%。在高体重指数且使用司美格鲁肽的患者中,2年后NAION和ION的风险分别为0.038%和0.404%。
与T2DM或高体重指数对照相比,使用司美格鲁肽或GLP-1RA的患者发生NAION或ION的风险没有显著增加。
