Limitations and caveats
This was a Non interventional study (NIS) based on existing data. Therefore, the study might be subject to potential residual confounding due to the absence of certain key data.~In November 2021, an initial feasibility assessment was conducted which showed that the therapy cohort Empagliflozin vs. Sulfonylurea (SU) reported the highest number of empagliflozin initiators and was the only adequately powered line of therapy.

Registered outcomes1

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryIncidence Rate of Acute PancreatitisFrom August 2014 to March 2021 (the study period). Up to 79 months.
Incidence rate of acute pancreatitis per number of person-years, defined as an acute pancreatitis diagnosis from any of the inpatient (not restricted to the primary diagnosis), outpatient, or emergency contacts diagnoses (ICD-9-CM 577.0 or ICD-10-CM K85) and a lipase measure within +/- 7 days of the acute pancreatitis diagnosis (using LOINC code of 3040-3 and 2572-6 or CPT code of 83690 for lipase) and an abdominal ultrasound (using CPT codes of 76700 and 76705) within +/- 7 days of the acute pancreatitis diagnosis. The incidence rate was reported as the number of events (counts the first event per patient) divided by the total number of person-years at risk during follow-up (1/(1000\*person-years)).

TypeOutcomeTime framePopulationUnitsMeasured as
PRIMARYIncidence Rate of Acute PancreatitisFrom August 2014 to March 2021 (the study period). Up to 79 months.
Pooled unmatched and 1:1 propensity scores (PS) matched cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and new initiators of empagliflozin or sulfonylureas (SUs), who were enrolled between 1 August 2014 and the latest data-cut available in IBM MarketScan CCAE/MDCR (30 September 2020) and Optum CDM (31 March 2021). Primary analysis represented an 'as treated' approach.
