New Analysis of SOLOIST-WHF Results Demonstrates Sotagliflozin’s Significant Effect in Reducing the Risk of Hospital Readmissions for Heart Failure
Treatment with sotagliflozin demonstrated significant relative risk reductions of 46% to 52% for readmission for non-fatal heart failure events and for the composite of cardiovascular death and readmission for heart failure at 30 or 90 days following hospital discharge versus placebo.
- Treatment with sotagliflozin demonstrated significant relative risk reductions of 46% to 52% for readmission for non-fatal heart failure events and for the composite of cardiovascular death and readmission for heart failure at 30 or 90 days following hospital discharge versus placebo.
- Heart failure is the number one cause of hospitalizations for Americans ages sixty-five years and older, with approximately one million hospitalizations for heart failure annually in the United States.
- Heart failure cost burden is projected to reach nearly seventy billion dollars in the United States by the year 2030, with 80% of those total costs related to hospitalizations.
- This analysis provides evidence that sotagliflozin has the potential to address all of these concerns if administered to patients prior to or at hospital discharge after experiencing an episode of worsening heart failure.
