About this study

Official title: A Pharmacoepidemiological Study to Examine Patient Characteristics, Drug Utilization Pattern and Crude Incidence Rates of Selected Outcomes in New Users of Ticagrelor, Clopidogrel and Prasugrel in National Swedish Registries

The purpose of the study is to describe patient characteristics and drug usage among patients that are prescribed ticagrelor for the first time and to compare them with patients who are prescribed clopidogrel and prasugrel for the first time.

A further purpose is to ascertain and estimate the crude incidence rate of bleeding, arrhythmias, heart failure, acute renal failure, acute liver failure, dyspnoea and gout among new users in the three cohorts of ticagrelor, clopidogrel and prasugrel.
