Importance: Emerging evidence suggests that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), commonly used for glycemic control in diabetes, may possess anti-inflammatory properties. Understanding their potential protective role against uveitis could provide insights into novel therapeutic strategies.

Objective: To evaluate whether being prescribed a GLP-1RA is associated with a reduced risk of developing uveitis.

Article Synopsis
  • GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are commonly used for type 2 diabetes management and weight loss, but their long-term effects on cancer risk are unclear, highlighting the need for patient safety understanding.
  • This study compared cancer incidence among adults with obesity prescribed GLP-1RAs versus nonusers using electronic health data from 2014 to 2024, including 86,632 participants.
  • Results indicated that GLP-1RA users had a lower overall cancer risk (13.6 vs 16.4 per 1000 person-years) and were particularly at reduced risk for endometrial and ovarian cancers.

Background: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) are extensively prescribed to treat obesity and diabetes. However, previous studies have debated whether GLP-1RA use induces diabetic retinopathy (DR) in diabetic populations, and the relationship between the two is unclear.

Methods: Cis-expressed quantitative trait locus data (Cis-eQTL) in blood tissue were used to extract single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as a genetic proxy tool.

Background And Objectives: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are increasingly used to treat obesity and diabetes. Semaglutide, a GLP-1RA, is linked to nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), macular edema, and retinopathy. Because diabetic lumbosacral radiculoplexus neuropathy (DLRPN) and common fibular neuropathy (CFN) are associated with weight loss, we examined whether GLP-1RA usage is linked to these neuropathies.
