研究概览
简要总结
The overall objective of this analysis is to understand patient characteristics, the use of treatment, and clinical outcomes among obese (overweight) and severely obese patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) who initiate therapy with OACs (oral anti-coagulants). The aim of this study is to compare all DOACs (direct oral anti-coagulants) to warfarin.
However, the primary analysis will be conducted among apixaban vs warfarin patients only. If sample size permits, we will also conduct other DOAC vs warfarin and DOAC vs DOAC analysis.

结局指标
主要结局
Event Rate Per 100 Participant-Years For First Occurrence of Major Bleeding Events After Index Date in Morbidly Obese Participants
时间窗: From first dose of study drug to follow-up period or within 30 days from last prescription date (data collected and observed retrospectively for 3.5 years)
Event rate per 100 participant-years for first occurrence of MB event after index date in morbidly obese participants was reported. MB after index date was identified using hospital claims and occurred anytime during the follow-up period of drug use or within 30 days from the last day of treatment prescription. Index date was defined as date of first DOAC pharmacy claim date during the identification period (July 1, 2013-December 31, 2017). The first warfarin prescription date was designated as the index date for participants without any DOAC claim. MB events included the composite of GI, ICH, and other sites. MB was equal to 1 if bleeding event was \>=1.

时间窗: From first dose of study drug to follow-up period or within 30 days from last prescription date (data collected and observed retrospectively for 3.5 years)
Event rate per 100 participant-years for first occurrence of major bleeding (MB) event after index date in obese participants was reported. MB after index date was identified using hospital claims and occurred anytime during the follow-up period of drug use or within 30 days from the last day of treatment prescription. Index date was defined as date of first DOAC pharmacy claim date during the identification period (July 1, 2013-December 31, 2017 \[3.5 years\]). The first warfarin prescription date was designated as the index date for participants without any DOAC claim. MB events included the composite of gastrointestinal (GI), intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), and other sites. MB was equal to 1 if bleeding event was greater than equal to (\>=) 1.
Event Rate Per 100 Participant-Years For First Occurrence of Stroke or Systemic Embolism (SE) Events After Index Date in Obese Participants
时间窗: From first dose of study drug to follow-up period or within 30 days from last prescription date (data collected and observed retrospectively for 3.5 years)
Event rate per 100 participant-years for first occurrence of stroke or SE events after index date in obese participants was reported. Stroke/SE were identified using hospital claims and occurred anytime during the period of drug use or within 30 days from the last day of treatment prescription. Index date was defined as date of first DOAC pharmacy claim date during the identification period (July 1, 2013-December 31, 2017). The first warfarin prescription date was designated as the index date for participants without any DOAC claim. Stroke events included the composite of any ischemic, any hemorrhagic and SE stroke events. Stroke/SE was equal to 1 if stroke event was \>=1.

Event rate per 100 participant-years for first occurrence of stroke or SE events after index date in morbidly obese participants was reported. Stroke/SE were identified using hospital claims and occurred anytime during the period of drug use or within 30 days from the last day of treatment prescription. Index date was defined as date of first DOAC pharmacy claim date during the identification period (July 1, 2013-December 31, 2017). The first warfarin prescription date was designated as the index date for participants without any DOAC claim. Stroke events included the composite of any ischemic, any hemorrhagic and SE stroke events. Stroke/SE was equal to 1 if stroke event was \>=1.
Event Rate Per 100 Participant-Years For First Occurrence of Net Clinical Benefit After Index Date in Obese Participants
时间窗: From first dose of study drug to follow-up period or within 30 days from last prescription date (data collected and observed retrospectively for 3.5 years)
Event rate per 100 participant-years for first occurrence of net clinical benefit after index date in obese participants was reported. For participants with stroke/SE or MB event, net clinical benefit was assessed by evaluating the first hospital claim for a stroke/SE or MB event. The hospital claim occurred anytime during the period of drug use or within 30 days from the last day of supply of treatment prescription. Index date was defined as date of first DOAC pharmacy claim date during the identification period (July 1, 2013-December 31, 2017). The first warfarin prescription date was designated as the index date for participants without any DOAC claim.

Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI)
时间窗: Baseline (6 months prior to index date)
CCI based on various comorbid conditions such as myocardial infarction, CHF, peripheral vascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, dementia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, rheumatologic disease, peptic ulcer disease, mild liver disease, diabetes (mild to moderate), diabetes + complications, hemiplegia or paraplegia, renal disease, any malignancy (lymphoma and leukemia), moderate/severe liver disease, metastatic solid tumor, and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) were reported. CCI score range was from 0 to 14, where "0"= low comorbid condition and "14"= high comorbid condition, higher scores indicated more comorbidity.
