Study finds GLP-1 drugs reduce post-surgery complications in diabetic patients by up to 56%.

A study from Weill Cornell Medicine and Columbia University shows that GLP-1 receptor agonist drugs, like tirzepatide and semaglutide, can significantly lower post-surgery complications for diabetic patients. The research, covering 74,425 surgeries in 21,772 patients over three and a half years, found these drugs reduced hospital readmissions by 12%, wound re-opening by 29%, and hematomas by 56%. This could lead to changes in surgical treatment for diabetes patients.
