The association can be explained by a significant correlation of baseline SUA with the BP in the following year (r=0.24, P<0.001 for baseline SUA and SBP in the following year; r=0.239, P<0.001 for baseline SUA and DBP in the following year). Elevated SUA was associated with incident hypertension in healthy individuals according to various contemporary BP guidelines (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03473951).

Aim of the present network meta-analysis (NMA) is the comparison across glucose-lowering drugs (GLA) concerning their effects on glucose control, body weight, hypoglycemia, gastrointestinal adverse events, and quality of life. This NMA includes randomized clinical trials comparing different head-to-head comparison trials with EMA-approved GLA in type 2 diabetes, with a duration of ≥52 weeks. All drugs have to be administered at the maximal approved dose. Primary endpoints were HbA1c at 12, 52, and 104+ weeks. Secondary endpoints were body weight, quality of life, hypoglycemia, and gastrointestinal disorders. Indirect comparisons of different GLA were performed by NMA choosing metformin as reference. The standardized difference in means (SDM) and Mantel-Haenzel Odds Ratio [MH-OR] (using random-effect models) with 95% Confidence Intervals were calculated for categorical and continuous variables, respectively. We included 68 trials fulfilling all inclusion criteria. At 12 weeks, when considering indirect comparisons, insulin secretagogues (IS) were associated with a significantly greater reduction in comparison with metformin (SDM, -0.3 [-0.4;-0.2]%); a significantly lower efficacy was observed for pioglitazone. At 52 weeks, IS were no longer associated with a greater reduction of HbA1c; whereas a significa
