Propensity-matched analysis shows GLP-1RA improves outcomes in diabetic patients undergoing knee surgery, indicating benefits for obesity management.
Among metformin-treated T2DM patients undergoing TKA, GLP-1RA use was associated with reduced resource utilization irrespective of obesity. However, additional reductions in medical complications and aseptic loosening were observed in the obese group, suggesting a potential synergistic effect between weight loss and glycemic control. These findings highlight the effectiveness of GLP-1RAs in optimizing high-risk candidates undergoing TKA.
