The use of Actos (pioglitazone HCl) for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus is growing. The current European guideline (EHTOC) suggests the use of Actos for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in combination with a low-calorie, low-fat diet. A recent review of the literature, including a meta-analysis, showed that use of pioglitazone alone for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus was associated with a lower incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus, and with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus, compared to Actos plus diet. However, a meta-analysis of clinical trials has shown that there is no consensus on the optimal dose of Actos for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In addition, the use of Actos for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus was associated with higher rates of recurrence of diabetes mellitus and worse outcomes than that of pioglitazone. Therefore, Actos should be used in combination with a low-calorie, low-fat diet and/or with a combination of diet and lifestyle measures to reduce the risk of adverse effects and improve glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
The aim of the current study was to determine the effect of the use of pioglitazone as a treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus on the risk of recurrence of diabetes mellitus, compared with the use of Actos alone for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A meta-analysis was performed to determine the effect of the use of pioglitazone as a treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus on the risk of recurrence of diabetes mellitus. A total of 14,938 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were included in the study. The primary outcome of the study was the recurrence of diabetes mellitus. The other outcome was the treatment success rate for the study.
The data were analyzed using STATA version 14.2 (Stata Corporation, College Station, Texas, U. S. A.). The results of the primary analysis are presented as the OR (95% confidence interval), 95% CI (95% confidence interval), and p-value (adjusted) were calculated for the OR (95% CI) of the risk of recurrence of diabetes mellitus. A risk of recurrence was defined as a ≥ 1.5-fold increase in the risk of the recurrence of diabetes mellitus during a 2-year period; a risk of recurrence was defined as a ≥ 1.5-fold increase in the risk of the recurrence of diabetes mellitus in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
The following variables were compared between the study arms: age, gender, race, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, primary diagnosis, diagnosis of diabetes, duration of diabetes, and diabetes duration. The statistical analysis was performed using STATA version 14.2 (Stata Corporation, College Station, Texas, U. The study was approved by the institutional review board of the Institutional Review Board of the Institute for Health Research (IRB), Zhejiang University Medical Center (IRB), Zhejiang, and the study was carried out in compliance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. All patients provided written informed consent to participate.
The primary outcome was the recurrence of diabetes mellitus and the treatment success rate for the study.
In total, 14,938 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were included in the study. The mean age of patients was 73.1±9.5 years. The mean duration of diabetes was 8.6±3.8 years, and the mean HbA1c was 10.4±0.9 mmol/mol (95% CI, 7.4-12.6).
In the subgroup of patients with a primary diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (n=12,927), the recurrence of diabetes mellitus was significantly higher (OR=2.3; 95% CI, 1.0-4.9). The treatment success rate for the study was not significantly different between the two treatment groups (OR=0.7; 95% CI, 0.3-2.0). The treatment success rate for the study was not significantly different between the two treatment groups (OR=0.4; 95% CI, 0.1-1.1). The treatment success rate for the study was significantly higher in patients with a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (OR=3.6; 95% CI, 2.3-8.2).
