TITLE: Current evidence on the effect of DPP-4 inhibitor drugs on mortality in type 2 diabetic (T2D) patients: A meta-analysis
Abstract
This meta-analysis throws light on the current understanding from concluded randomized controlled trials (RCTs) before 2014 on the extent of impact of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor(DPP-4 I)drugs on overall mortality in patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus.TheDPP-4 inhibitor class representsa relatively newer class of oral antidiabetic agents that facilitate improved glycemic control and improvement in glycosylated haemoglobin levels (HbA1c) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The present meta-analysis is aimed at all randomized controlled trials involving that were published before February 2014 was carried out. Published articles in bibliographic and abstracting electronic databases such as Pubmed central, Cochrane reviews andother medical journals served as the data sources for the present study. The article selection criteria included all randomized placebo-controlled trials of at least one year duration and those which measured at least one of the following clinical endpoints: risk ratio, coronary artery disease mortality, cardio-vascular mortality or all-cause mortality. Information on sample size, follow up period, drug used, and clinical outcomes was abstracted independently by the authors. The present meta-analysis compiled pooled data from 18 randomised controlled trials (RCTs) fulfilling the inclusion criteria of the study (18 trials, 5903 patients) showed a significant relative risk reduction of coronary artery disease mortality, cardiovascular disease mortality and on all-cause mortality without any significant heterogeneity and inconsistency between the trials. From these findings was inferred from the findings from this meta-analyses that the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors are indeed effective medicines that confer benefit to patients, in terms of affording optimal glycemic control in T2 DM patients and disease control.

ANIMAL INSTINCTS

The summer sky was all blue and clear

And the morning breeze whispered in my ears

Of distant lands unknown,

To cherish, love and behold.

Life had never seemed to be so much fun

As if a well choreographed dance

Few birds sat twittering in their nests,

Nurturing the young ones with love intense

The forest had suddenly come alive

Full of vigor, spirit and melodious sights

All of a sudden two sounds were heard-

While the first came a raging gun,

The latter, from the dead bird’s silent fall

The killer beast looked like you and me,

Can you see one within thee ?

Culture Capital of India .......What's That ?


An observation from inaugural speech at event at 18th KIFF..

The Indian Presidential elections of 2012- Much Ado about Nothing ?

Like the previous ones so far it has been a year  ridden with graft charges being labelled at the highest offices of power with  one scam after another surfacing from pandora's box. At such a juncture, all this the hullabaloo over the election of a ceremonial President makes little sense if u ask me.... Mr.Mukherjee or Sangma..whoever it is that will adorn Raisina Hills will matter very little to the common man....the counterpoint of prestige of the Nation being at stake is a non-issue, especially for a Nation struggling to retain its economy in order...Issues of Farmer suicides , malnourishment of our children, beggary ,women trafficking have been sidelined and deprioritised one feels....all this for a mere ceremonial president....is it worth the effort ? I , for one, certainly don't care...does that make me any less a citizen than the rest ?


Our Government certainly needs to get its priorities right !
