ANALYZE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF USING SGLT-2 INHIBITORS IN INPATIENTS WITH HEART FAILURE AT THE CARDIOVASCULAR INSTITUTE – 108 MILITARY CENTRAL HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: Investigate the appropriateness of indication and dosing regimen of SGLT2-inhibitors in hospitalized patients at the Cardiovascular Institute – 108 Military Central Hospital. Subject and method: A descriptive, retrospective study based on electronic medical records of inpatients prescribed SGLT-2 inhibitors at the Cardiovascular Institute – 108 Military Central Hospital from 01/2022 to 06/2022. Evaluate the appropriateness of indication and dosage based on recommendations in guideline of AHA 2022, ESC 2021 and Ministry of Health 2022 and drug label at our hospital. Results and conclusion: During hospital stay, SGLT2 inhibitors, including empagliflozin and dapagfiflozin, are indicated early for heart failure. The proportions of HfrEF, HfmrEF and HppEF were 41.4%, 25.2% and 20.5%, respectively. Inappropriate indications due to contraindication in patients with eGFR equal to or below 20 ml/min/1.73 m2 were recorded in 13.6% with empagliflozin and 3.7% with dapagliflozin. Adherence rate to dosage recommendations was 100% in our study.
