Impacto dos agonistas dos receptores do peptídeo-1 semelhantes a glucagon nos resultados após discectomia e fusão cervical anterior: uma revisão sistemática e metanálise

Resumo original em inglês

O que aconteceu

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are increasingly prescribed for type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity. Their metabolic, anti-inflammatory, and osteogenic effects raise important questions regarding their influence on spinal fusion. To date, no systematic review has specifically investigated how GLP-1RAs influence outcomes following the common anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). This study aimed to evaluate the association between perioperative GLP-1RA use and outcomes following ACDF.

Following PRISMA guidelines, MEDLINE, Embase, PubMed, and the Cochrane Library were searched from inception to February 2026 for studies evaluating GLP-1RA exposure in the context of ACDF. Eligible studies included human observational cohort studies. Data were extracted independently by two reviewers.

Level III, therapeutic study.

O que encontraram

Eight retrospective cohort studies analysing 311,402 ACDF patients were included, of whom 8,182 were GLP-1RA users matched to non-users. Random-effects meta-analysis demonstrated significantly lower odds of pseudarthrosis among GLP-1RA users at 6 months (OR = 0.60, 95% CI: 0.52 to 0.71; I² = 16.6%), 12 months (OR = 0.62, 95% CI: 0.53 to 0.73; I² = 39.1%), and 24 months (OR = 0.67, 95% CI: 0.57 to 0.79; I² = 34.9%). Findings for reoperation, dysphagia, deep vein thrombosis, and readmission were heterogeneous and inconsistent across studies.

Por que isso importa

Perioperative GLP-1RA use was associated with lower odds of pseudarthrosis. However, evidence regarding other postoperative complications remains inconclusive. Future prospective studies are required to further elucidate the impact of GLP-1RA use on ACDF outcomes.
