Brief summary

This observational cohort study is being conducted to further characterize selected adverse events of interest among a patient population with osteoporosis who are prescribed bazedoxifene, raloxifene, or a bisphosphonate in usual clinical care outside of a randomized clinical trial setting. The study will compare the rates of the selected clinical events among the three treatment groups.

Detailed description

All women in the database meeting the inclusion criteria will be included in the study without any statistical sampling.

Interventions

Patients receiving Bazedoxifene in usual clinical care. In this non-interventional study there is no protocol mandated drug assignment or dosing schedule.

Patients receiving Bisphosphonates in usual clinical care. In this non-interventional study there is no protocol mandated drug assignment or dosing schedule.

DRUGRaloxifene

Patients receiving Raloxifene in usual clinical care. In this non-interventional study there is no protocol mandated drug assignment or dosing schedule.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Cumulative Incidence of Venous Thromboembolism (VTE)Up to a maximum of follow-up period of 92.1 monthsVTE is defined as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), retinal vein thrombosis, and sinus thrombosis. DVT: occurs when a blood clot forms in a vein located deep inside the body. PE: a blockage of an artery in the lungs by a substance that has moved from elsewhere in the body through the bloodstream (embolism). Sinus thrombosis: presence of a blood clot in the dural venous sinuses, which drain blood from the brain. Retinal vein thrombosis: blockage of the small veins that carry blood away from the retina. Cumulative incidence was calculated as total participants with VTE events during follow-up period divided by total persons at risk during follow-up period\*100 and hence cumulative incidence was expressed as percentage of participants.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Cumulative Incidence of Cardiac DisordersUp to a maximum of follow-up period of 92.1 monthsCardiac disorders included myocardial infarction, myocardial ischemia, and coronary occlusion. Cumulative incidence was calculated as total participants with cardiac disorders events during follow-up period divided by total persons at risk during follow-up period\*100 and hence cumulative incidence was expressed as percentage of participants.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

This is a retrospective, observational, non-interventional study. Data was collected from proprietary longitudinal patient databases (LPD).

Pre-assignment details

The index date for each participant was the date of first recorded prescription for bazedoxifene, raloxifene or bisphosphonate. Follow-up period was from index date to first incident of primary event or date of last contact, whichever occurred first. Follow-up was maximum up to approximately of 92.1 months.
