Prior GLP-1 agonist use is not associated with hospital length of stay in critically ill patients.

Clinicians may conclude that prior GLP-1 agonist use does not prolong hospital stays for critically ill patients.

StrongRefutesmedium confidence
The matched GLP-1 agonist and comparison groups showed similar mean hospital length of stay (13.7 ± 21.3 vs. 13.4 ± 18.1 days, mean difference [MD]: 0.38, 95% CI: -2.21 to 3.05, p = .77).
