Key Points

  • Postoperative respiratory complications are linked to the use of GLP-1 receptor agonists, indicating potential risks.
  • The study finds that patients with diabetes taking these medications have a different complication risk than those who do not.
  • Cohort analysis comparing patients with and without prescriptions for GLP-1 receptor agonists reveals significant insights into their impact on recovery from surgery.   The findings highlight the need for careful consideration of GLP-1 use preoperatively.

Abstract

This cohort study evaluates the risk of postoperative respiratory complications among patients with diabetes undergoing surgery who had vs those who had not a prescription fill for glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists.
