PG - 915-926 LID - 10.1007/s40261-023-01319-x [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) exhibit glucose-lowering, weight-reducing, and blood pressure-lowering effects. Nevertheless, a debate exists concerning the association between GLP-1RA treatment and the risk of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). OBJECTIVE: To ascertain the risk of DR in patients with T2DM undergoing GLP-1RA treatment, we conducted a meta-analysis utilizing data derived from randomized placebo-controlled studies (RCTs). METHODS: A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and EMBASE. We focused on RCTs involving the use of GLP-1RAs in patients with T2DM. Utilizing R software, we compared the risk of DR among T2DM patients undergoing GLP-1RA treatment. The Cochrane risk of bias method was employed to assess the research quality. RESULTS: The meta-analysis incorporated data from 20 RCTs, encompassing a total of 24,832 T2DM patients. Across all included trials, randomization to GLP-1 RA treatment did not demonstrate an increased risk of DR (odds ratio = 1.17; 95% CI 0.98-1.39). Furthermore, no significant heterogeneity or publication bias was detected in the analysis. CONCLUSION: The results of this systematic review and meta-analysis indicate that the administration of GLP-1 RA is not associated with an increased risk of DR.
