PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (at the beginning of 11 year observation period)

Population: All Taiwanese participants diagnosed with metastatic RCC during the time period of January 2004 to December 2015 and received treatment (Sunitinib or Pazopanib). Here, Overall number of participants analyzed signifies participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure.

To calculate number of patient receiving antihypertensive prescriptions at baseline for each TKI users and classify the patterns of changes into unchanged, switched, increased and decreased. Shifting to other class(es) of antihypertensive agents without changes in counts of antihypertensive medication is defined as being switched.
