Generalizability of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors cardiovascular outcome trials to the type 2 diabetes population: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The present review showed that a considerable number of patients counseled in clinical practice could have been eligible for SGLT2i CVOTs. Particularly, dapagliflozin was shown to be the SGLT2i with the largest generalizability of findings from its CVOT according to the odds ratio of eligibility for the enrollment criteria among unselected patients with type 2 diabetes. Further country- or region-specific studies are needed to confirm the applicability of our results.
