Background
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an underdiagnosed disease affecting 10% of people worldwide. Appropriate management of CKD delays progression and reduces its burden. Renin–angiotensin system inhibitors (RASis) have been the mainstay of CKD treatment until recently. Here we describe the use of RASis and the sodium–glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor dapagliflozin in a contemporary population of patients with CKD.
Methods
This study used secondary data extracted from electronic health records or claims data sources. Adult patients with CKD (either two estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] measurements ≥ 90 days apart of which both were ≤ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 or an eGFR ≤ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 followed by a CKD diagnosis) who were new RASi or dapagliflozin users during 2021–2023 were included. Patients with type 1 or gestational diabetes, stage 5 CKD or on dialysis were excluded. RASi and dapagliflozin doses and persistence were assessed in the year following initiation.
Results
Overall, 159 220 patients were included (Japan, 57 222; Sweden, 10 861; USA, 91 137). Median ages were 75, 72 and 72 years, and 63%, 66% and 52% were males in Japan, Sweden and the USA, respectively. Of patients without type 2 diabetes, a high proportion receiving dapagliflozin remained on the evidence-based 10 mg target dose (Figure). A large proportion of patients treated with RASis received low doses. At 12-month follow-up, dapagliflozin persistence was approximately 65%, 80% and 55% in Japan, Sweden and the USA, respectively, and was 34%, 75% and 64% for RASi, respectively.
Conclusion
CKD treatment with dapagliflozin was associated with a high likelihood of receiving and remaining on target dose compared with RASi treatment. Efforts to maintain patients on renal protective treatment are needed.
