Abstract 9654: Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitors May Reduce the Risk of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events and All-cause Mortality In Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: Meta-analyses Oof Randomized Controlled Trials

Background: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists, both of which have an incretin effect, represent novel, effective therapeutic approaches to treating hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
