Exenatide Initiators
Exenatide initiators were persons with a pharmacy claim associated with a dispensing of exenatide preceded by 9 months of continuous enrollment in the underlying health insurance plan without an exenatide dispensing. Patients eligible for both the exenatide cohort and the other antidiabetic drug medication cohort were preferentially entered into the former.
Other Antidiabetic Drug (OADs) Initiators
Initiators of other antidiabetic medications were persons with a pharmacy claim associated with a dispensing of one of the following drugs preceded by 9 months of continuous enrollment in the underlying health insurance program without a dispensing of the same medication: sulfonylureas (e.g. glyburide); metformin; TZDs (e.g. rosiglitazone); insulins (e.g. insulin glargine); sitagliptin; pramlintide; non-sulfonylurea secretagogues (e.g. repaglinide); α-glucosidase inhibitors (e.g. miglitol).
Non-Diabetes Cohort
The Non-Diabetes Cohort was composed of persons who had 9 months of continuous enrollment in the underlying health insurance program prior to their assigned index dates and no claims associated with a diagnosis of diabetes, no dispensing of a diabetes drug, and no diagnosis of pancreatic disease in the baseline period.
