Although popular obesity medications appear promising, bariatric surgery may be better for certain patients with metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease, new study results showed.
SAN DIEGO — In patients with metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease , bariatric surgery appears to carry a lower risk for mortality after 5 years than treatment with pharmacologic therapies such as glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists or sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, new study results showed.
. His co-author and fellow internal medicine resident Qumber Ali, DO, presented the findings about MACEs. When compared to bariatric surgery, the adjusted hazard ratio for GLP-1 medications was 2.99, followed by an aHR of 2.96 for SGLT2 inhibitor medications, and an aHR of 1.78 for a combination of treatments.
Regarding both analyses, patients taking GLP-1 or SGLT2 inhibitor medications may face higher risks for mortality or serious heart problems due to existing metabolic disorders or heart disease, Ali said.
