Dapagliflozin
It works by reducing reabsorption of filtered glucose in the kidneys, leading to increased urinary glucose excretion.
Dapagliflozin has been shown to reduce HbA1c, body weight, and blood pressure in clinical trials.
Reserach into its effeects and optimal use is ongoing.

In addition to the within trial analyses, we have pre‐specified prior to the unblinding of DAPA‐HF that data from both dapagliflozin heart failure trials, DAPA‐HF and DELIVER, will be pooled and assessed in a patient‐level meta‐analysis to assess the effect of dapagliflozin across the full spectrum of heart failure.

Dapagliflozin persistence was assessed during the 12 months after index in patients without T2D during the period after its approval for CKD in each country (postapproval cohort). Dapagliflozin persistence was assessed in patients without T2D to ensure that patients received dapagliflozin for the treatment of CKD and not for the T2D indication. Dapagliflozin treatment initiation was defined as the first-recorded dapagliflozin 10-mg prescription. Unlike RASis, which do not have a target dose for the treatment of CKD, dapagliflozin has a guideline-recommended target dose of 10 mg across all countries.15 (link) It may also be used at a dose of 5 mg. Hence, dapagliflozin was categorized into two dose levels: target dose (10 mg; the approved dose for CKD treatment) and intermediate dose (5 mg).
For both RASis and dapagliflozin, the duration of each filled prescription was calculated based on the number of days covered by the number of pills contained in the box and the prescribed dose.14 (link),16 (link)–
Summary statistics were used to describe patient demographics, clinical characteristics, comorbidities, medications and laboratory tests during the baseline period or on the index date. The study index date was defined as the date of first dapagliflozin 10 mg prescription (in the case of dapagliflozin initiators) or the first date on which patients met all eligibility criteria during the study period (in the case of eligible but untreated patients). Missing data were not imputed but are reported as a separate category.

History of comorbidities on or before index date | Type 1 diabetes Gestational diabetes mellitus Diagnosis indicating dialysis Polycystic kidney disease End-stage kidney disease |
History of procedures on or before index date | Dialysis Procedure indicating end-stage kidney disease |
History of prescriptions | Dapagliflozin 10 mg any time before index date Any SGLT2i on or 1 year before index date Hydroxychloroquine on index date Immunotherapy on or 6 months before index date |

To estimate the prevalence of short-term renal dysfunction and electrolyte imbalance among the patients receiving dapagliflozin, with a 95% confidence level and 5% precision, and assuming an expected prevalence of 20% (derived from a pilot study conducted by the researchers and which included 124 patients), a sample size of 246 patients was determined to be necessary.
