Cross-sectional estimates reflected overall cumulative incidence, whereas survival analyses provided temporal information, and the two approaches were considered complementary
5 Ozempic, at its lower doses, is an effective treatment for diabetes but isnt designed or licensed for weight loss
The reverse approach to this trial may well be clinically applicable also, where GLP-1RAs are used before MBS to optimize patients for surgery, which will probably become more common in the future given the increasing availability of semaglutide 2.4 mg
The SURMOUNT-5 data on waist circumference is also clinically meaningful: research has shown that each 5-centimeter increase in waist circumference corresponds to a 7 to 9 percent increase in mortality risk, making the 5.4-centimeter additional reduction with tirzepatide a potentially significant benefit.1 That said, semaglutide remains highly effective and is still the right choice for many patients, depending on insurance coverage, cost, tolerance, and individual response
