Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients who received any of the NOACs, dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, or warfarin during any time of the hospitalization (from admission to discharge)

Who may be able to join

  • Have a primary or secondary diagnosis of AF identified by International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes from the Cerner Health Facts hospital database between January 1, 2012 and August 31, 2014
  • Age 18 years or older as of initial hospitalization with AF diagnosis

Who cannot join

  • Have any primary or secondary diagnosis code or procedure code for valvular disease during the study period. This exclusion criterion is consistent with that used in other previous BMS Health Economics and Outcomes Research (HEOR) studies and is used to ensure that the study populations are NVAF patients
  • Received multiple types of NOACs during the index hospitalization. Preliminary analysis showed that very few patients receive multiple types of NOACs during the same hospitalization. This exclusion criterion will allow to cleanly group patients into the different New oral anticoagulant (NOAC) usage groups

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of NVAF patients with bleeding-related hospital readmissions from inpatient hospitalization records collected from the Cerner Health Facts hospital database

    Proportion of NVAF patients with bleeding-related hospital readmissions that occur within 30 days of the hospitalization of NVAF patients treated with dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, or warfarin in the inpatient setting.

    Measured: January 1, 2012 to August 31, 2014

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Cost associated with bleeding-related hospital readmissions from inpatient hospitalization records collected from the Cerner Health Facts hospital database

    Cost associated with bleeding-related hospital readmissions that occur within 30 days of the hospitalization of NVAF patients treated with dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, or warfarin in the inpatient setting

    Measured: January 1, 2012 to August 31, 2014

  2. Proportion of NVAF patients with all cause hospital readmissions and the associated costs from inpatient hospitalization records collected from the Cerner Health Facts hospital database

    Proportion of NVAF patients with all cause hospital readmissions and the associated costs that occur within 30 days of the hospitalization of NVAF patients treated with dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, or warfarin in the inpatient setting.

    Measured: January 1, 2012 to August 31, 2014

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Atrial Fibrillation, 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 11 May 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?

Proportion of NVAF patients with bleeding-related hospital readmissions from inpatient hospitalization records collected from the Cerner Health Facts hospital database (time frame: January 1, 2012 to August 31, 2014). 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 11 May 2016.
