研究概览
简要总结
- The purpose of this study is to compare effectiveness and safety of warfarin and apixaban among non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients at higher chance of bleeding using a Japanese nation-wide administrative claims database.
- Atrial fibrillation (AF) is characterized by a fast, irregular heartbeat which can cause blood to pool in the atria and increase the chance of the formation of blood clots.
- An anticoagulation therapy is a critical treatment to prevent thromboembolism in NVAF patients.
- Apixaban was demonstrated superiority compared to warfarin in preventing stroke or systemic embolism, caused less bleeding, and resulted in lower mortality in patients with AF in Phase 3 clinical trial.
- Previously we have shown that bleeding risks as well as stroke/SE risks are less in real world clinical practice in Japan compared to warfarin. However there are limited apixaban data for Japanese NVAF patients with high bleeding risk(s).
- This study will evaluate the risk of stroke/systemic embolism as well as the risk of bleeding in the real world settings in Japanese patients with NVAF who has higher chance of bleeding

入选标准
- •Diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AF) anytime in the baseline period or on the index date, also have definitive diagnosis of AF anytime in the baseline period, on the index date, or post-index period.
- •Prescribed apixaban or warfarin on or after the day of AF diagnosis. The first observed prescription will be used to identify the patient's index date and treatment cohort
- •No use of the any oral anticoagulants (OACs) during the baseline period (the 180 days before the index date)
- •Age of 18 years or older on the index date
排除标准
- •Having a diagnosis of valvular atrial fibrillation, post-operative atrial fibrillation, rheumatic atrial fibrillation or mechanical-valvular atrial fibrillation during the baseline and post-index period
- •Having a procedure of prosthetic heart valve during the baseline period
- •Having a cardiac surgery procedure record during the baseline period
- •Having a diagnosis of venous thromboembolism during the baseline period
- •Having a hemodialysis during the baseline period
- •Female patients with pregnancy during the baseline and follow-up period
- •Patients prescribed apixaban other than approved daily dose (<5 mg or >10 mg)
- •Patients prescribed OACs during baseline period
结局指标
主要结局
Incidence Rate Per 1000 Participant-Years For First Occurrence of Composite Stroke and Systemic Embolism (SE) Events After Index Date: Balanced Cohorts
时间窗: Follow-up period during data observation period from Mar 2011 to Jun 2021 (approximately 10 years 4 months); extracted data evaluated in approximately 1 month of this study
Incidence rate per 1000 participant-years for the first occurrence of composite stroke and SE events after index date was reported. Stroke events included the composite of any ischemic and any hemorrhagic stroke events (excluding non-traumatic extradural hemorrhage). Stroke after index date not including the index date was identified using hospital claims which had a stroke diagnosis code as the first listed International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision (ICD-10) diagnosis code. SE after index date not including the index date was identified using hospital claims which had a SE diagnosis code as the first listed ICD-10 diagnosis code. Index date: date when participants initiated warfarin or apixaban. Follow-up period: from next day of the index date till occurrence of target outcome event, discontinuation of apixaban or warfarin; switching from apixaban or warfarin; withdrawal from the database, whichever occurred first.
Incidence Rate Per 1000 Participant-Years For First Occurrence of Major Bleeding Event After Index Date: Balanced Cohorts
时间窗: Follow-up period during data observation period from Mar 2011 to Jun 2021 (approximately 10 years 4 months); extracted data evaluated in approximately 1 month of this study
Incidence rate per 1000 participant-years for the first occurrence of major bleeding event after index date was reported. Major bleeding was defined as any bleeding that required hospitalization for treatment. Major bleeding after index date was identified using hospital claims which had a bleeding diagnosis code as the first listed ICD-10 or disease code. Index date: date when participants initiated warfarin or apixaban. Follow-up period: from next day of the index date till occurrence of target outcome event, discontinuation of apixaban or warfarin; switching from apixaban or warfarin; withdrawal from the database, whichever occurred first.
