To assess the associations of semaglutide with incident CUD (first time diagnosis of CUD), the study population included 83,189 patients who had active medical encounters for the diagnosis of obesity in 6/202112/2022, were for the first time (new users design) prescribed semaglutide or non-GLP-1RA anti-obesity medications (bupropion, naltrexone, orlistat, topiramate, phentermine) [39] during 6/2021-12/2022 (time zero or index event), had no diagnosis of CUD on or before the index event and had a diagnosis of at least one of obesity-associated comorbidities (T2D, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia, heart diseases, stroke) on or before the index event
Source and gas setting for the method were as follow: curtain gas = 40, CAD gas = 9, ion spray voltage = 1700 V in positive mode and ion spray voltage = 1600 V in negative mode, temperature = 350 C, ion source gas 1 = 30 and ion source gas 2 = 50
