Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This retrospective study aims to quantify the relationship between 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor (5ARI) adherence / length of therapy and the likelihood of acute urinary retention (AUR) or prostate surgery in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) as well as the economic impact associated with these medical encounters. The Integrated Health Care Information Solutions (IHCIS) database will be utilized for this study (2000-2006).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Acute Urinary Retention

This subset of the Integrated Health Care Information Solutions (ICHIS) benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) study population was used to assess acute urinary retention as a clinical outcome.

Adherent with 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor (5ARI) therapy

Intervention Type DRUG

Patient with BPH who are adherent to 5ARI therapy (Adherence will be calculated using a medication possession ratio (MPR); 3 MPR threshold values of 70%, 75%, and 80% will be evaluated.)

Non-adherent to 5ARI therapy

Intervention Type DRUG

Patients with BPH non-adherent to 5ARI therapy (Adherence will be calculated using a MPR; 3 MPR threshold values of 70%, 75%, and 80% will be evaluated.)

Prostate Surgery

This subset of the ICHIS BPH study population was used to assess surgery as a clinical outcome.

Adherent with 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor (5ARI) therapy

Intervention Type DRUG

Patient with BPH who are adherent to 5ARI therapy (Adherence will be calculated using a medication possession ratio (MPR); 3 MPR threshold values of 70%, 75%, and 80% will be evaluated.)

Non-adherent to 5ARI therapy

Intervention Type DRUG

Patients with BPH non-adherent to 5ARI therapy (Adherence will be calculated using a MPR; 3 MPR threshold values of 70%, 75%, and 80% will be evaluated.)
