Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (8)
Number of Participants With Hospitalization for Heart Failure (HHF), Broad + Specific Definition
Number of participants with Hospitalization for Heart Failure (HHF), using broad + specific HHF definition. HHF - broad defined as any diagnosis associated with healthcare encounters, including hospitalizations and specialist outpatient and primary care encounters, or dispensation or any other record of the high-ceiling diuretics (loop diuretics). HHF - specific defined as a primary diagnosis associated with hospital admission. For HHF - broad + specific, HHF-specific definition was used unless only broad definition were available. However, for Japan South Korea and Taiwan, both definitions were available, but broad definition was used.
From index date until end of follow-up, up to 67 months for matched cohort of empagliflozin/DPP-4i. Up to 86 months for matched cohort of SGLT-2i/DPP-4i

- +14 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
New users of SGLT-2i
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), who were new users of any sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) including empagliflozin.
New users of DPP-4i
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), who were new users of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i).
Interventions
Empagliflozin or any Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor
Eligibility Criteria
This will be a non-interventional, multi-country cohort study using existing data and including adults (≥18 years) with a diagnosis of T2DM. All data will be obtained from electronically recorded longitudinal secondary data sources, separately in each included country. In each country, patients initiating treatment with empagliflozin or any other SGLT-2 inhibitor will be compared with PS-matched patients initiating treatment with any DPP-4inhibitor.
You may qualify if:
- Dispensation or any other record of empagliflozin, any SGLT-2 inhibitor, or any DPP-4 inhibitor use during the study period
- No dispensation or any other record of any other SGLT-2 inhibitor or DPP-4 inhibitor use during the preceding 12 months including at index date
- Having a diagnosis of T2DM before the index date, based on ICD-10 codes or other available data
You may not qualify if:
- Aged \<18 years on the first dispensation date or date of the first record of empagliflozin, any SGLT-2 inhibitor or any DPP-4 inhibitor use
- Type 1 diabetes mellitus
- Secondary diabetes
- Gestational diabetes
- Having a diagnosis of ESRD during the 12 months before the index date
- \<12 months of available data before the index date, and/or no complete history of drug dispensations/other records of the drug use during this period
- Missing or ambiguous data on age or sex

Data Sharing
- IPD Sharing
- Will not share
Clinical studies sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim, phases I to IV, interventional and non-interventional, are in scope for sharing of the raw clinical study data and clinical study documents. Exceptions might apply, e.g. studies in products where Boehringer Ingelheim is not the license holder; studies regarding pharmaceutical formulations and associated analytical methods, and studies pertinent to pharmacokinetics using human biomaterials; studies conducted in a single center or targeting rare diseases (in case of low number of patients and therefore limitations with anonymization).
