Objective
To evaluate the effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) on the risk of major adverse limb events (MALE).
Methods
We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials assessing the effects of GLP-1RAs therapy on peripheral arterial disease (PAD)-related outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This meta-analysis was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. The random-effects model was performed.
Results
A total of 6 randomized clinical trials were considered eligible for this systematic review. On the other hand, 4 clinical trials were included for the meta-analysis. A total of 15,427 subjects were allocated to the GLP-1RAs group, and 15,476 to the placebo group. Overall, this meta-analysis showed that the use of GLP-1RAs is associated with a lower risk of PAD-related events (OR, 0.78; 95%CI, 0.62–0.98, I2 = 39%) vs the placebo group. The analytical evaluation did not suggest publication bias, and the sensitivity analysis demonstrated that the result was robust.
Conclusion
This meta-analysis demonstrated that the use of GLP-1RAs is associated with fewer PAD-related clinical events. Of note, despite the clinical significance of PAD, most analyzed studies did not specifically report on these events. Future studies should include PAD as a key endpoint.
