説明

<p>Recently, a few randomized control trials (RCTs) suggested that finerenone has been shown to reduce cardiovascular events in patients with CKD and DM-2. We aimed to analyze the cardiovascular benefits of using finerenone in patients with CKD and DM-2. Electronic databases were systematically searched to identify only RCTs comparing finerenone versus placebo. Pooled risk ratios (RR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using random-effects models. Three RCTs were included, with a total of 13,847 patients. Compared with the placebo group, the use of finerenone was associated with significantly lower rates of cardiovascular events (RR: 0.88; 95% CI: 0.80, 0.96; p < 0.01), which was mainly driven by lower hospitalizations for heart failure (RR: 0.79; 95% CI: 0.66, 0.94; p = 0.01). However, there were no significant differences between groups in terms of cardiovascular death (RR: 0.88; 95% CI: 0.76, 1.02; p = 0.09), non-fatal myocardial infarction (RR: 0.91; 95% CI: 0.74, 1.12;p = 0.38), non-fatal stroke (RR: 0.99; 95% CI: 0.80, 1.22; p = 0.90). </p>
