Association of SGLT2 Inhibitor With Stroke in Type 2 Diabetes With Diabetic Retinopathy: A Multicenter Electronic Health Record Data Study

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is linked to elevated risks of cerebrovascular diseases. Whether sodium‐glucose cotransporter‐2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) reduce stroke risk in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and DR remains uncertain. Materials and Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the TriNetX Research Network.
