About this study

Official title: The Detection and Epidemiology of NAION in a Commercially Insured Population in the United States.

The objectives of this study were to: (1) evaluate the natural history of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION); (2) estimate the population incidence of NAION; and (3) identify potential risk factors for NAION.

Read the detailed description

The study population consisted of members of the Ingenix Normative Health Informatics (NHI) Database during 01/01/2003 through 12/31/2007, who were 18 years of age or older with at least 183 days of continuous enrollment in the database and without any doctor visits associated with a diagnosis of ischemic optic neuropathy during the 183 days prior to cohort entry.

From the study population, patients with a claim associated with an ischemic optic neuropathy diagnosis code were identified as potential NAION cases (n = 3,732). From the potential NAION cases, definite and possible NAION cases were identified using medical record review and a claims algorithm (n=1,283).

From the study population, patients without a claim associated with an ischemic optic neuropathy diagnosis code were randomly selected as controls (n = 20,000)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Crude Incidence Rate of Non-arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION) Per 1000 Person-years by Age

    Person-years estimated by dividing the number of Controls participants by the derived sampling fraction (20,000 divided by the total person-time at risk). Age categorized by years.

    Measured: 01-January-2003 up to 31-December-2007

  2. Crude Incidence Rate of Non-arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION) Per 1000 Person-years by Sex

    Person-years estimated by dividing the number of Controls participants by the derived sampling fraction (20,000 divided by the total person-time at risk). Sex categorized as Female or Male.

    Measured: 01-January-2003 up to 31-December-2007

  3. Crude Incidence Rate of Non-arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION) Per 1000 Person-years by Calendar Year

    Person-years estimated by dividing the number of Controls participants by the derived sampling fraction (20,000 divided by the total person-time at risk). Calendar years include years 2003 to 2007.

    Measured: 01-January-2003 up to 31-December-2007

  4. Crude Incidence Rate of Non-arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION) Per 1000 Person-years by Region

    Person-years estimated by dividing the number of Controls participants by the derived sampling fraction (20,000 divided by the total person-time at risk). Region of the United States categorized as Northeast, Midwest, South, and West.

    Measured: 01-January-2003 up to 31-December-2007

  5. Crude Incidence Rate of Non-arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION) Per 1000 Person-years by Baseline Risk Factors

    Person-years estimated by dividing number of Controls (20,000) by derived sampling fraction (total person-time at risk). Risk factors include diabetes, smoking, obesity, erectile dysfunction, hyperlipidemia, myocardial infarction, other coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, hypertension, use of beta or calcium channel blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, nitrates, anti-platelet agents, diuretics, and recent phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) inhibitors use. Recent use=any dispensing in the 60 days preceding date of diagnosis for NAION cases or index date for Controls.

    Measured: 01-January-2003 up to 31-December-2007

  6. Crude Incidence Rate of Non-arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION) Per 1000 Person-years by Comorbid Diagnoses

    Person-years estimated by dividing the number of Controls participants by the derived sampling fraction (20,000 divided by the total person-time at risk). Comorbid diagnoses categorized according to the International Classification of Diseases ninth-edition (ICD-9) diagnoses. Categories include Occlusion and stenosis of precerebral arteries (Occlusion / Stenosis), Other disorders of bone and cartilage (Bone and Cartilage), Symptoms involving head and neck (Head and Neck), and Other ill defined and unknown causes of morbidity and mortality (Ill defined / Unknown causes).

    Measured: 01-January-2003 up to 31-December-2007

  7. Crude Incidence Rate of Non-arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION) Per 1000 Person-years by PDE-5 Inhibitor Use

    Person-years estimated by dividing the number of Controls by the derived sampling fraction (20,000 divided by total person-time at risk). PDE-5 inhibitor use categorized by frequency of use in the number of days specific preceding diagnosis for NAION Cases or preceding the index date for Controls: Recent use=any dispensing in the preceding 60 days; Any use=any PDE-5 inhibitors use; Chronic use=at least a total of 26 days supply or 5 dispensings in the preceding 183 days; Non-chronic use=any dispensing in the preceding 183 days that does not meet the criteria for chronic use; Never use=none.

    Measured: 01-January-2003 up to 31-December-2007

  8. Number of Participants With NAION by Time Course of Visual Change Onset: Intermittent, Abrupt (Acute), or Chronic (Adjudicated by Medical Record Review)

    Measured: 01-January-2003 up to 31-December-2007

  9. Incidence Rate Ratio Between NAION Risk Factors and Resolution of Visual Symptoms of Non-arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION)

    Categorized by risk factors of age (years) and sex (male or female). Incidence rate ratio and the 95% confidence interval adjusted for all the other covariates in the table.

    Measured: 01-January-2003 up to 31-December-2007

  10. Incidence Rate Ratio Between NAION Risk Factors and Recurrence of Visual Symptoms of Non-arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION)

    Categorized by risk factors of age (years) and sex (male or female). Incidence rate ratio and the 95% confidence interval adjusted for all the other covariates in the table.

    Measured: 01-January-2003 up to 31-December-2007

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy and Ischemic Optic Neuropathy, run by Pfizer's Upjohn has merged with Mylan to form Viatris Inc..

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Apr 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Crude Incidence Rate of Non-arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION) Per 1000 Person-years by Age (time frame: 01-January-2003 up to 31-December-2007). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Feb 2021.
