Study title acronymNA
Study typeObservational study
Brief description of the studyThis drug utilization study is set up to describe the characteristics of European patients newly prescribed dapagliflozin by age, sex, dapagliflozin dose, country, selected co-morbidities, and selected concomitant medications. It will specifically describe dapagliflozin use in: • patients > 75 years-old, • combination use with loop diuretics or pioglitazone, • patients with a known history of moderate or severe renal impairment and in kidney failure, • patients lacking a diagnostic code indicating type 2 diabetes. This is an observational single-cohort data base study with descriptive data analyses among patients receiving dapagliflozin within electronic medical records in Europe. The study will describe the utilization pattern of dapagliflozin during the first 3.5 years after marketing authorization and launch in Europe, specifically in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and United Kingdom. Will be included in the study all patients identified in the database(s) who newly received at least one dapagliflozin prescription during the study period. Data will be collected from IMS Health Longitudinal Patient Databases (LPDs) which come directly from physicians’ EMR. A patient will be identified as newly exposed when he/she has at least one dapagliflozin prescription recorded in the study database(s). Outcomes include: Patient demographics: age, sex, country, Baseline history of type 2 diabetes, Baseline history of moderate or severe renal impairment, Concomitant medications at baseline and during dapagliflozin use. Follow-up will begin on the date a patient is first prescribed dapagliflozin, and it will continue until the end of study or discontinuation of dapagliflozin. In this study descriptive analyses of the data will be conducted.
