About The Study: The results of this comparative effectiveness research study suggest that sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) were associated with a reduced risk of moderate or severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations compared with dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors in adults with type 2 diabetes and active COPD. This may inform prescribing of glucose-lowering medications among patients with type 2 diabetes and active COPD.
