This study examined the use of antihypertensive and antidiabetic medications in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the United States. The study found low initiation and high discontinuation rates of recommended treatments, highlighting the suboptimal adherence to guidelines for halting CKD progression. Patients with comorbidities had higher clinical and economic outcomes, indicating a need for additional treatment options.
Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD), a serious complication of type 2 diabetes (T2D) increases the comorbid risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Treatment guidelines recommend renin-angiotensin blockade and antihyperglycemic treatment with metformin and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) as first-line treatment. We evaluated treatment initiation and discontinuation overall and in subgroups of T2D patients with incident CKD (incident cohort) and rates of clinical and economic outcomes in patients with T2D and any CKD (prevalent cohort). Methods In this retrospective study of administrative claims in the USA between 1 January 2007 and 31 March 2019, we evaluated the proportion of patients with concomitant, newly initiated and discontinued use of antihypertensive [angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi)/angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (sMRAs)] and antidiabetic [SGLT2is, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4is), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), insulin and sulfonylureas] medications, rates of clinical outcomes per 1000 person-years and mean total healthcare costs. Results We identified 63 127 and 326 763 patients in the incident and prevalent CKD cohorts, respectively. Low initiation and high discontinuation rates were observed with 17.8% and 56.0% for ACEi/ARBs, 1.3% and 66.0% for sMRAs, 2.5% and 65.0% for SGLT2is, 3.7% and 66.8% for DPP4is, 2.31% and 69.0% for GLP-1 RAs, 4% and 75.7% for insulin and 5.5% and 56.9% for sulfonylureas. Similar results were seen by subgroups. Rates of clinical outcomes ranged from 35.07 per 1000 person-years for all-cause mortality to 104.19 for ESKD, with rates of hospitalization ranging from 36.61 for kidney hospitalizations to 283.14 for all-cause hospitalizations. Among patients with comorbidities, higher clinical and economic outcomes were found. Conclusion Our results highlight high unmet needs of CKD and T2D, particularly subgroups of patients with multimorbid CVD, high-risk CKD (low estimated glomerular filtration rate or high urinary albumin:creatinine ratio) or rapidly progressing CKD. Low initiation and high discontinuation of recommended treatments suggest that adherence to guidelines for halting CKD progression is suboptimal. These high-risk patients may benefit from further treatment options to improve morbidity and mortality and reduce the economic burden.
