ObjectiveThe objective was to examine the utilization and predictors of adjuvant metformin among pediatric SGA (mixed receptor antagonist) recipients.MethodThis study uses 2016 to 2021 data of a national electronic medical record database. Eligible individuals are children aged 6-17 with a new SGA prescription for at least 90 days. Predictors of prescribing adjuvant metformin in general and to non-obese pediatric SGA recipients, in particular, assessed using conditional logistic regression and logistic regression analyses respectively.ResultsOf 30,009 pediatric SGA recipients identified, 2.3%(n= 785) received adjuvant metformin. Among the 597 with a BMI z-score documented during the 6-month period prior to metformin initiation, 83% were obese and 34% had either hyperglycemia or diabetes. Significant predictors for metformin prescribing were high baseline BMI z-score (OR, 95% CI: 3.5, 2.8-4.5, p< 0.0001), having hyperglycemia or diabetes (OR, 95% CI: 5.3, 3.4-8.3, p< 0.0001), undergoing a switch from a higher metabolic risk SGA to a lower risk one (OR, 95% CI: 9.9, 3.5-27.5, p= 0.0025), or a switch in the opposite direction (OR, 95% CI: 4.1, 2.1-7.9, p= 0.0051) compared to no switch. Nonobese metformin users were more likely to have a positive BMI z-score velocity before metformin initiation than their obese counterparts. Receiving the index SGA prescribed by a mental health specialist was associated with higher likelihood of receiving adjuvant metformin and receiving metformin before the development of obesity.ConclusionThe utilization of adjuvant metformin among pediatric SGA recipients is uncommon, and the early introduction of the medication among nonobese children is rare.
