FAITH - Factor XA Inhibitor-Related InTracranial Haemorrhage

Completed
Conditions
InTracranial Haemorrhage
Registration Number
NCT06420011
Lead Sponsor
AstraZeneca
Brief Summary

FAITH study is a multicentre retrospective analysis study that aims to understand the burden of ICH related to FXa inhibitors and the current treatment approaches in country/countries where specific reversal agents are not available yet. The results of this analysis will improve our understanding of FXa inhibitor-related ICH, its socioeconomic impact and factors associated with negative outcomes in real-world settings. The insights gained can inform clinical decision making and potentially lead to strategies to optimise the use of FXa inhibitors, increase the availability of specific reversal agents and improve patient safety and outcomes.

Detailed Description

FAITH is a retrospective, non-interventional, multicentre cohort study that will retrieve the data from medical records of adult patients who were hospitalised with confirmed diagnosis of ICH while being treated with FXa inhibitors. The primary objectives of the study is to describe the characteristics and hospital outcomes of hospitalised patients with FXa inhibitors-related ICH in real-world settings. Data of consecutive patients admitted on or after 1 January 2021 and by 30 June 2023 will be retrieved. The index date is defined as the date of hospital admission.The identification of ICH will be based on the CT/MRI scan records and according to the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code. To establish the causal relation between FXa and ICH, the study will include only patients who were determined in the medical records to have taken oral FXa inhibitors.The historical data will be followed up from the index date (the date of hospital admission) until the earliest date of death, lost to follow-up or up to 6 months.The 6-month follow-up period will allow for the assessment of the disability rate and the need for supportive care among survivors.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
mRS scoreIndex day to 24 hours

mRS score recorded within 24 hours on Index date The mRS is a commonly used scale for measuring the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of people who have suffered a stroke or others causes of neurological disability. It is scored from: 0=No symptoms at all

1. No significant disability

2. Slight disability

3. Moderate disability

4. Moderately severe disability 5=Severe disability

6=death
