About this study

To estimate annualized total cost rates (i.e. direct medical costs from hospitalizations, consultations, medications, and tests) of adequately controlling a patient (i.e. INR between 2-3 and TTR≥ 60%) diagnosed with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) or venous thromboembolism (VTE), and treated with vitamin K antagonists (VKA) in Spain.

What is being measured

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

  1. Annualized total and per patient cost of patients diagnosed with NVAF or VTE treated with VKA and according to coagulation control status based on electronic clinical records

    Per patient cost: direct medical costs from hospitalizations, consultations, medications, and tests; Coagulation control status: adequately controlled patients defined by INR between 2-3 and TTR≥ 60%

    Measured: Approximately 60 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Demographic and clinical characteristics for all patients diagnosed with NVAF or VTE treated with VKA and according to coagulation control status based on electronic clinical records

    Variables measured: age, gender, employment status, smoking status, BMI, major co-morbidities (including CHARLSON index), CHA2DS2-VASc score, presence and frequency of INR measurement, and INR therapeutic range.

    Measured: Approximately 60 months

  2. Healthcare resource rates for all patients diagnosed with NVAF or VTE treated with VKA and according to coagulation control status based on electronic clinical records

    Healthcare resources used (i.e. hospitalizations, consultations, medication, and tests) by patients will be measured according to coagulation control status. For each healthcare resource the number and percentage of patients using it and the mean, SD, median min, max and valid n will be reported; as well as the number of times that each patient uses the resource.

    Measured: Approximately 60 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anticoagulation, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb.

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 1 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 20 Sep 2016. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Annualized total and per patient cost of patients diagnosed with NVAF or VTE treated with VKA and according to coagulation control status based on electronic clinical records (time frame: Approximately 60 months). 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 20 Sep 2016.
