Extended Data Fig. 2: Proportions of patients with orders and dispenses for other medications.

From: Macrovascular and microvascular outcomes of metabolic surgery versus GLP-1 receptor agonists in patients with diabetes and obesity

Extended Data Fig. 2

Plots display proportions of patients (with 95% point-wise confidence intervals (shaded areas)) in the metabolic surgery and GLP-1RA groups over time who were prescribed or dispensed with the indicated medications. For a given time point (e.g., 1 year after the index date), prescription orders (dashed lines) were defined as the percentage of patients (of those who were followed up to at least that date) who had at least one prescription order for that medication, with start and end dates that encompassed that time point (using the last follow-up date if the end date was missing). For a given time point (e.g., 1 year after the index date), medication dispenses (solid lines) were defined as the percentage of patients (of those who were followed up to at least that date) who had at least one dispense record for that medication in the preceding 6 months. Medication dispensation data was based on Surescripts data. SGLT2, Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2.
