The use and adherence of oral anticoagulants in Primary Health Care in Catalunya, Spain: A real-world data cohort study

Objective: We aimed to describe sociodemographic, comorbidities, co-medication and risk of thromboembolic events and bleeding in patients with NVAF initiating oral anticoagulants (OAC) for stroke prevention, and to estimate adherence and persistence to OAC. Setting: Primary Health Care (PHC) in the...

description Objective: We aimed to describe sociodemographic, comorbidities, co-medication and risk of thromboembolic events and bleeding in patients with NVAF initiating oral anticoagulants (OAC) for stroke prevention, and to estimate adherence and persistence to OAC. Setting: Primary Health Care (PHC) in the Catalan Health Institute (ICS), Catalunya, Spain. Participants: All NVAF adult patients initiating OAC for stroke prevention in August 2013–December 2015. Methods: Population-based cohort study. Persistence was measured in patients initiating OAC in August 2013–December 2014.Data source: SIDIAP, which captures electronic health records from PHC in the (ICS), covering approximately 5.8 million people. Results: 51,690 NVAF patients initiated OAC; 47,197 (91.3%) were naive to OAC and 32,404 (62.7%) initiated acenocoumarol. Mean age was 72.8 years (SD 12.3) and 49.4% were women. Platelet-aggregation inhibitors were taken by 9105 (17.6%) of the patients. Persistence and adherence were estimated up to the end of follow-up. For 22,075 patients, persistence was higher among the non-naive patients [n = 258 (61.7%)] than among the naive [n = 11,502 (53.1%)]. Adherence was estimated for patients initiating DOAC and it was similar in naive and non-naive patients. Among the naive to DOAC treatment, those starting rivaroxaban showed a highest proportion [(n = 360 (80.1%)] of good adherence at implementation (MPR > 80%) while patients starting dabigatran were less adherent [n = 203 (47.8%)]. Conclusions: Acenocoumarol was the most frequently prescribed OAC as first therapy in NVAF patients. Non-naive to DOAC showed better persistence than naive. Rivaroxaban showed higher proportion of adherent patients during the implementation phase than apixaban and dabigatran the lowest. Resumen: Objetivo: Describir datos sociodemográficos, comorbilidades, comedicaciones y riesgo de eventos tromboembólicos y hemorrágicos de los pacientes con fibrilación auricular no valvular (FANV) que inician tratamiento anticoagulante por vía oral (TAO) para prevención del ictus. Estimar adherencia y persistencia al TAO. Emplazamiento: Atención primaria (AP) del Instituto Catalán de Salud (ICS), Cataluña, España. Participantes: Adultos con FANV que inician TAO para prevención de ictus entre agosto del 2013 y diciembre del 2015. Métodos: Estudio de cohortes de base poblacional. Adherencia y persistencia se midieron en pacientes que iniciaban TAO entre agosto del 2013 y diciembre del 2014.Fuente de datos: SIDIAP, base de datos procedentes de registros electrónicos de AP del ICS, que cubre aproximadamente una población de 5,8 millones de personas. Resultados: Cincuenta y un mil seiscientos noventa pacientes con FANV iniciaron TAO, 47.197 (91,3%) eran naïve al TAO y 32.404 (62,7%) iniciaron acenocumarol. Su edad media era 72,8 años (DE 12,3) y el 49,4% eran mujeres; 90105 (17,6%) recibían tratamiento antiagregante plaquetario. Persistencia y adherencia se estimaron hasta el final del seguimiento. La persistencia a anticoagulantes orales directos (ACOD) fue mayor en no naïve que en naïve (61,7% vs. 53,1%). La adherencia a ACOD fue similar en los 2 grupos. Entre los naïve, los pacientes que iniciaban rivaroxabán (80,1%) mostraron mayor adherencia en la implementación (MPR > 80%), mientras que los que iniciaban dabigatrán fueron menos adherentes (47,8%). Conclusiones: Acenocumarol fue el anticoagulante más prescrito. Los pacientes no naïve mostraron mejor persistencia al tratamiento que los naïve. Rivaroxabán mostró mayores tasas de adherencia que apixabán y dabigatrán, las menores.
