Abstract

Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors have become a great insulin-independent approach for diabetic management. These agents have increasingly been reported to be associated with the onset of acute pancreatitis. Here, we present a suspected case of empagliflozin-induced pancreatitis. Finally, we compile previous reports of suspected cases.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
