Study population text
This study will employ a new user, active comparator, observational cohort study design comparing semaglutide v DPP4 inhibitors (sitagliptin, saxagliptin, linagliptin, and alogliptin). The patients will be required to have continuous enrollment during the baseline period of 365 days before initiation of study drugs (index date). Follow-up for the outcome (dementia) differs between analyses. Follow-up begins the day after drug initiation (analysis 1, 3, 4); 180 days after drug initiation (analysis 2).
