Trial Outcomes & Findings for Non-Interventional Study Describing Direct Costs Related to Anti-coagulation Treatment (NCT NCT04435769)

NCT ID: NCT04435769

Last Updated: 2023-02-08

Results Overview

CHA2DS2-VASc scoring scale was used to estimate the risk of stroke and systemic emboli in participants with NVAF. CHA2DS2-VASc score was calculated based on 8 risk factors (age 65-74 years, age \>=75 years, sex category, i.e. female sex, congestive heart failure history, hypertension history, stroke/TIA/thromboembolism history, vascular disease history and diabetes mellitus history). Total CHA2DS2-VASc score ranged from 0-9 where 0= low risk and 9= high risk of stroke.

Participant Flow

Data from eligible participants with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) who started treatment with warfarin or apixaban for the prevention of a secondary stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) between 2009 to 2019 were observed in this study. Participants' records were retrieved and observed only for first 6 months of the warfarin/apixaban treatment. Collected data from all the participants were observed approximately for 10 months in this observational study.

INR was defined as the ratio of the participant's prothrombin time and the normal mean prothrombin time. Prothrombin time defined as a time taken by the blood to clot in participants receiving oral anticoagulant medication. Costs related to INR measurements, were calculated for the period of 6 months as the number of INR measurements multiplied by the cost of the INR measurement (213.0 CZK per measurement). Costs were based on the expenditure of total number of INR measurements during first 6-month treatment.

In this outcome measure, costs of hospital admissions were based on the number of hospital admissions during the treatment period by considering the reason for hospitalization. If the reason for admission was not related to the recorded event (ischemic, hemorrhagic, or other adverse event), or the participant experienced none of these events, the cost of hospitalization was calculated as the number of days multiplied by the cost per a day of hospitalization (1898.2 CZK per day).
