简要总结
The study was an observational, retrospective cohort design, using US administrative insurance claims data, to better understand Healthcare resource utilization (HRU) and healthcare costs among women with mBC initiated on a CDK4/6 inhibitor.
详细描述
This study used an observational, retrospective cohort design, using US administrative insurance claims data, previously employed in an existing project, to better understand HRU and healthcare costs among women with mBC initiated on a CDK4/6 inhibitor.
Adult women with HR+/HER2- mBC initiated on a CDK4/6 inhibitor were included in the study and were stratified into cohorts based on the first CDK4/6 inhibitor they received (i.e., abemaciclib, palbociclib, or ribociclib), regardless of the line of therapy and menopausal status.
The initiation of the first CDK4/6 inhibitor was defined as the index date. The index treatment was defined as the CDK4/6 inhibitor initiated on the index date (i.e., abemaciclib, palbociclib, or ribociclib).
The 6-month period preceding the index date was considered as the baseline period, and was used to measure patient characteristics.
Outcomes were measured between the index date and 1) the end of the study period (persistence, switch, HRU, costs) OR 2) the end of the index treatment (adherence, dose modification, frequency of monitoring), as relevant. The end of the study period was defined as the earliest occurrence between the end of continuous enrollment and the end of data availability.

- •HR+/HER2-: At least one prescription fill or administration of an ET (anastrazole, exemestane, ethinyl estradiol, fulvestrant, fluoxymesterone, letrozole, megestrol acetate, tamoxifen, or toremifene), HR+/HER2- therapy (everolimus), or CDK4/6 inhibitor (i.e., abemaciclib, palbociclib, or ribociclib) at any time following the diagnosis of BC, and no claims for treatments indicated for HER2+ BC, including trastuzumab, lapatinib, afatinib, pertuzumab, or ado-trastuzumab, at any time in the data period
- •Women of at least 18 years of age as of the index date
- •At least 6 months of continuous health plan coverage prior to and at least 1 month of continuous health plan coverage after the index date

结局指标
主要结局
Number of inpatient (IP) admissions
时间窗: From the index date defined as initiation of CDK4/6 inhibitor to the end of follow-up i.e. approximately 6 months (Q1/2001 - Q3/2018)
Healthcare Resource Utilization (HRU) was measured between index date and end of follow-up, and was separately measured during the studied line of therapy, and after the studied line of therapy. Because women have different durations of follow-up, the number of events were reported as the average total number of visits per patient-per-6-months (PPP6M). HRU PPP6M was defined as the total number of visits or services for a patient occurring during the relevant period, reported on a six-month basis.
Number of IP days
时间窗: From the index date defined as initiation of CDK4/6 inhibitor to the end of follow-up i.e. approximately 6 months (Q1/2001 - Q3/2018)
HRU was measured between index date and end of follow-up, and was separately measured during the studied line of therapy, and after the studied line of therapy. Because women have different durations of follow-up, the number of events were reported as the average total number of visits per patient-per-6-months (PPP6M). HRU PPP6M was defined as the total number of visits or services for a patient occurring during the relevant period, reported on a six-month basis.
Number of days with durable medical equipment (DME) services
时间窗: From the index date defined as initiation of CDK4/6 inhibitor to the end of follow-up i.e. approximately 6 months (Q1/2001 - Q3/2018)
HRU was measured between index date and end of follow-up, and was separately measured during the studied line of therapy, and after the studied line of therapy. Because women have different durations of follow-up, the number of events were reported as the average total number of visits per patient-per-6-months (PPP6M). HRU PPP6M was defined as the total number of visits or services for a patient occurring during the relevant period, reported on a six-month basis.
Number of days with emergency department (ED) visits
时间窗: From the index date defined as initiation of CDK4/6 inhibitor to the end of follow-up i.e. approximately 6 months (Q1/2001 - Q3/2018)
HRU was measured between index date and end of follow-up, and was separately measured during the studied line of therapy, and after the studied line of therapy. Because women have different durations of follow-up, the number of events were reported as the average total number of visits per patient-per-6-months (PPP6M).

In addition to the all-cause HRU components, specific condition-related HRU was also analyzed. Conditions considered included those frequently encountered in clinical trials of CDK4/6 inhibitors. This included the number of days with medical services, number of IP days, number of non-IP days, and proportion of women with at least one medical service associated with a diagnosis for the following conditions: * Thrombolic events (e.g., thrombophlebitis/deep vein thrombosis) * Pulmonary embolism * QT prolongation events * Infections * Anemia * Neutropenia * Leukopenia * Thrombocytopenia
