| Abstract | Background Exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) severely impacts the quality of life and causes high mortality and morbidity. COPD is involved with systemic and pulmonary inflammation, which may be attenuated with antidiabetic agents exerting anti-inflammatory effects. Real-world evidence is scant regarding the effects of antidiabetic agents on COPD exacerbation. Accordingly, we conducted a disease risk score (DRS)-matched nested case–control study to systemically assess the association between each class of oral hypoglycemic agents (OHAs) and risk of severe COPD exacerbation in a nationwide COPD population co-diagnosed with diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods We enrolled 23,875 COPD patients receiving at least one OHA for management of DM by analyzing the Taiwan National Health Insurance claims database between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2015. Cases of severe exacerbation were defined as those who had the first hospital admission for COPD. Each case was individually matched with four randomly-selected controls by cohort entry date, DRS (the estimated probability of encountering a severe COPD exacerbation), and COPD medication regimens using the incidence density sampling approach. Conditional logistic regressions were performed to estimate odds ratios (OR) of severe COPD exacerbation for each type of OHAs. Results We analyzed 2700 cases of severe COPD exacerbation and 9272 corresponding controls after DRS matching. Current use of metformin versus other OHAs was associated with a 15% (adjusted OR [aOR], 0.85; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.75–0.95) reduced risk of severe COPD exacerbation, whereas the reduced risk was not observed with other types of antidiabetic agents. When considering the duration of antidiabetic medication therapy, current use of metformin for 91–180 and 181–365 days was associated with a 28% (aOR, 0.72; 95% CI 0.58–0.89) and 37% (aOR, 0.63; 95% CI 0.51–0.77) reduced risk of severe COPD exacerbation, respectively. Similarly, 91–180 days of sulfonylureas therapy led to a 28% (aOR, 0.72; 95% CI 0.58–0.90) lower risk, and longer treatments consistently yielded 24–30% lower risks. Current use of thiazolidinediones for more than 181 days yielded an approximately 40% decreased risk. Conclusions Duration-dependent beneficial effects of current metformin, sulfonylurea, and thiazolidinedione use on severe COPD exacerbation were observed in patients with COPD and DM. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
