Résumé

Among patients with type 2 diabetes, minority racial/ethnic groups have a higher burden of cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and hypoglycaemia. These groups may especially benefit from newer diabetes medication classes, but high cost may limit access. We examined the association of race/ethnicity with the initiation of newer diabetes medications (GLP-1 receptor agonists, DPP-4 inhibitors, SGLT-2 inhibitors). We conducted a secondary analysis of the Look AHEAD (Action for Health in Diabetes) trial including participants with at least one study visit after April 28, 2005. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the association between race/ethnicity and socioeconomic factors with time to initiation of any newer diabetes medication from April 2005 to February 2020. Models were adjusted for demographic and clinical characteristics. Among 4,892 participants, 63.6%, 15.7%, 12.6%, 5.2%, and 2.9% were White, Black, Hispanic, American Indian or Alaskan Native (AI/AN), or other race/ethnicity, respectively. During a median follow-up of 8.3 years, 2,180 (45.2%) participants were initiated on newer diabetes medications. Race/ethnicity was associated with newer diabetes medication initiation ( These findings provide evidence of racial/ethnic disparities in the initiation of newer diabetes medications, independent of socioeconomic factors, which may contribute to worse health outcomes.

Background UNASSIGNED
Among patients with type 2 diabetes, minority racial/ethnic groups have a higher burden of cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and hypoglycaemia. These groups may especially benefit from newer diabetes medication classes, but high cost may limit access. We examined the association of race/ethnicity with the initiation of newer diabetes medications (GLP-1 receptor agonists, DPP-4 inhibitors, SGLT-2 inhibitors).
Methods UNASSIGNED
We conducted a secondary analysis of the Look AHEAD (Action for Health in Diabetes) trial including participants with at least one study visit after April 28, 2005. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the association between race/ethnicity and socioeconomic factors with time to initiation of any newer diabetes medication from April 2005 to February 2020. Models were adjusted for demographic and clinical characteristics.
Findings UNASSIGNED
Among 4,892 participants, 63.6%, 15.7%, 12.6%, 5.2%, and 2.9% were White, Black, Hispanic, American Indian or Alaskan Native (AI/AN), or other race/ethnicity, respectively. During a median follow-up of 8.3 years, 2,180 (45.2%) participants were initiated on newer diabetes medications. Race/ethnicity was associated with newer diabetes medication initiation (
Interpretation UNASSIGNED
These findings provide evidence of racial/ethnic disparities in the initiation of newer diabetes medications, independent of socioeconomic factors, which may contribute to worse health outcomes.
