Abstract: Objective: Recent studies have increasingly shown the benefits of using sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i). However, there are concerns regarding the initiation of SGLT2i during acute hospital admissions due to the potential increased risk of complications. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SGLT2i initiation within 2 weeks of an acute hospital admission. Methods: Four electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Scopus) were searched for articles published from inception up to 27 March 2021 that evaluated the efficacy and/or safety of SGLT2i initiation within 2 weeks of an acute hospital admission. Random-effects pair-wise meta-analysis models were utilized to summarize the studies. The protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42021245492). Results: Nine clinical trials were included with a combined cohort of 1,758 patients. Patients receiving SGLT2i had a mean increase in 24-h urine volume of +487.55 mL (95% CI 126.86–848.25; p = 0.008) compared to those not started on SGLT2i. Patients with heart failure treated with SGLT2i had a 27% relative risk reduction in rehospitalizations for heart failure, compared to controls (risk ratio 0.73; p = 0.005). There were no differences in other efficacy and safety outcomes examined. Conclusion: There was no increased harm with initiation of SGLT2i within 2 weeks of an acute hospital admission, and its use reduced the relative risk of rehospitalizations for heart failure in patients with heart failure. It was also associated with increased urine output. However, current evidence pool is limited, especially in specific population subtypes.
