Limitations were that studies reviewed were retrospective by design which are susceptible to bias and lack of randomisation. Our adjusted analysis supports a significant association between DPPI use and onset of bullous pemphigoid. Vildagliptin had the highest odds of BP. These findings have clinical implications for dermatologists and the management of patients with diabetes and being treated with DPPI agents.
