In addition, Aalen’s Additive Hazards model was applied to examine additive rather than relative hazard effects while allowing time-varying effects. A Cox proportional hazards model was utilized to estimate hazard rate ratios (HR) for MOF, and survival curves were plotted using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. MOF were defined as hip, vertebral, humerus, or forearm fractures. Subjects were propensity-score matched 1:1 based on age, sex, and index date. Subjects treated with metformin in combination with either GLP-1RA or DPP-4i were enrolled from 2007 to 2018. Diagnoses were obtained from discharge diagnosis codes (ICD-10 and ICD-8-system) from the Danish National Patient Registry, and all redeemed drug prescriptions were obtained from the Danish National Prescription Registry (ATC classification system). Methods: We conducted a population-based cohort study using Danish national health registries. We aimed to investigate the risk of major osteoporotic fractures (MOF) for treatment with GLP-1RA compared to dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP-4i) as add-on therapies to metformin. There is little evidence for the effects of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) on fracture risk in T2D. 5Department of Endocrinology and Internal Medicine, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus, Denmarkīackground: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is associated with an increased fracture risk.4Department of Clinical Medicine, Aalborg University, Aalborg, Denmark.
