Introduction
Dapagliflozin is sub-optimally utilised in the real world. There is a lack of a comprehensive collaborative guidance for a practical approach to manage patients with cardiometabolic, renometabolic and viscerometabolic disorders. Patients across the CRV-M continuum includes patients with varied clinical profiles.
Methods
Two round Delphi study was conducted using a virtual online-digital connect approach with 35 clinicians with cumulative clinical experience of 1050 man years of experience across different specialties. This was preceded by contemporary evidence-based discussion on therapeutic approaches, through multidisciplinary modules for six hours covering cardiometabolic, renometabolic and viscerometabolic disorders, with focus on dapagliflozin. A consensus was reached on the clinical aspects that were endorsed by 50% or more of the experts
Results
Of the total 33 questions, seven were unanimously (100%) rated with the same response and 12 received the same response by > 50% of the participants. The mean man years of experience of the respondents with unanimous response was 175.7 years (± 43.92, minimum 120, maximum 240, 95% CI 135.1 to 216.3) significantly higher as compared to respondents > 50% similar response 122.5 years (± 10.74, minimum 60, maximum 180, 95% CI 98.86 to 146.1) (P = 0.0118). The index weighted impact score based on the man years of experience was higher for the unanimous responses group (1.43). There was a unanimous consensus, with absolute agreement for the cardiometabolic based chronic disease (CMBCD) approach, SGLT2 inhibitors as emerging approach to address the residual risk, and reduction of single-nephron glomerular filtration rate as a mechanism for renoprotection. 88% participants attributed insulin resistance as an important reason for autonomic dysfunction in patients with T2DM. The DAPA-CKD and DAPA-HF trials appears to have a potential scientific impact in the real-world utilisation of Dapagliflozin in patients with DKD and HFrEF.
Conclusion
The results of this study suggest that irrespective of presence of diabetes, dapagliflozin has a potential to optimise the management of patients. Dapagliflozin, beyond the ability to increase glycosuria, with relatively higher level of evidence, across the CRV-M continuum, appears to be a promising agent.
