contents Effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on development and progression of kidney disease in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes: A multicentre, prospective real‐world study Yun Wang Yajing Wang Yiming Mu Yu Cheng Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism Abstract Aims We aimed to compare renal outcomes between patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who were treated with sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and those on other glucose‐lowering drugs under routine clinical practice. Materials and Methods IMPROVE was a multicentric, observational, prospective real‐world study conducted across 45 hospitals in China. Eligible patients were adults ≥18 years with T2DM for ≥12 months who were currently taking SGLT2 inhibitors or other glucose‐lowering drugs. Blood and urine samples were collected at baseline and 6 months. The primary endpoint was the rate of change of eGFR compared with the baseline level after 6 months. Results The study took place between September 2021 and September 2023. At baseline, mean glycated haemoglobin was 8.33%, and mean eGFR was 114.68 mL/min/1.73 m 2 . Among 5562 patients completing 6 months follow‐up, the mean eGFR change was +1.2 mL/min/1.73 m 2 in the SGLT2 inhibitors group versus −6.0 mL/min/1.73 m 2 in controls (difference 8.0, 95% CI 5.7–10.4; p  < 0.0001). In the SGLT2 inhibitors group, the risk of an eGFR decline ≥25% was 18.9%, lower than the 22.8% observed in controls (RR 0.83, 95% CI 0.78–0.87). The composite outcome of improved glycaemic control plus stable renal function was achieved in 39.1% versus 35.0% (RR 1.12, 95% CI 1.06–1.18). Conclusions In this Chinese real‐world study of patients with T2DM, treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors was associated with a slower decline in kidney function compared with other glucose‐lowering drugs. 10.1111/dom.70413 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor
