SGLT2 Inhibitors and Renal Anemia in Japan: RWD

Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Chronic Kidney Disease
Interventions
Drug: SGLT2 inhibitor
Registration Number
NCT07063316
Lead Sponsor
Boehringer Ingelheim
Brief Summary

The objectives of the study are:

1. To compare the risk and timing of anemia onset between Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor users and non-users in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) from the index date to first event occurrence or the end date of each individual's follow-up.

2. To compare the following outcomes from the index date to 731 days (24 months) or the end date of each individual's follow-up:

A) Longitudinal changes in laboratory values between SGLT2 inhibitor users and non-users in patients with CKD.

B) Prescription patterns and treatment regimens for anemia between SGLT2 inhibitor users and non-users in patients with CKD, including analysis of medication types, dosing strategies, and duration of treatments.

C) Anemia-related healthcare costs between SGLT2 inhibitor users and non-users.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to the first occurrence of anemia (composite anemia outcomes)From the index date to first event occurrence or the end date of each individual's follow-up, up to 13 years

The composite of anemia outcomes is defined as any of the following:

* Hb \< 13.0 g/dL for men or \< 12.0 g/dL for women

* Clinical diagnosis of anemia using ICD-10 diagnosis codes

* Initiation of anemia treatment (Erythropoiesis-Stimulating Agents (ESAs), Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-Prolyl Hydroxylase (HIF-PH) inhibitors, iron preparations, or red blood cell (RBC) transfusion

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of administered doses of ESA, HIF-PH inhibitors, iron preparations, and RBC transfusionsUp to 24 months

Erythropoiesis-Stimulating Agents (ESAs) Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-Prolyl Hydroxylase (HIF-PH) Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions

Anemia-related healthcare costsUp to 24 months

Anemia-related medical costs are defined as the sum of direct medical costs associated with the treatment of anemia. These costs will include medication costs and costs related to RBC transfusion.

Frequency of administration of ESA, HIF-PH inhibitors, iron preparations, and RBC transfusionsUp to 24 months
