In a retrospective US claims analysis, adults with type 2 diabetes who escalated semaglutide from 1 mg to 2 mg had a 6% lower adjusted MACE risk than those who switched to tirzepatide, according to Novo Nordisk (adjusted HR, 1.06; 95% CI, 1.04–1.08). No. As a retrospective real-world analysis, it demonstrates association rather than causation, may reflect residual unmeasured confounding, and did not assess safety outcomes. The cardiovascular analysis included 185,705 adults who escalated to semaglutide 2 mg and 23,104 who switched to tirzepatide, drawn from 636,525 adults initially receiving semaglutide 1 mg.
