PG - 1479164120953625 LID - 10.1177/1479164120953625 [doi] LID - 1479164120953625 AB - OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the association between sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and the risk of orthostatic hypotension (OH) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHOD: A systematic literature retrieval was performed using PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) from inception up to 16 October 2019. Data for study characteristics and outcomes of interest were extracted from each eligible study. Pooled risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for OH were calculated using a random-effects model. RESULT: A total of 16 studies (n = 12,749) were included in our meta-analysis, with a result of 44 incident OH cases (29 in the SGLT2 inhibitor group, and 15 in the control group). The pooled RR was 1.17 (95% CI: 0.65-2.09). There was no evidence that receiving SGLT2 inhibitors increased the risk of OH, when stratified by age, duration of T2DM, or placebo-control or active-control and baseline blood pressure. CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis suggested that, in general, SGLPT2 inhibitors did not increase the risk of OH in patients with T2DM. The possibility of OH should be, therefore, considered on an individual basis, especially in patients with a history of OH, long duration of T2DM, or comorbidities.
