    January 1, 1997 to December 31, 2012

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Incident Diagnosis of Bladder Cancer by Time Since Starting Pioglitazone (10 Year Analysis)

    January 1, 1997 to December 31, 2012

  • Incident Diagnosis of Bladder Cancer by Duration of Pioglitazone Therapy (10 Year Analysis)

    January 1, 1997 to December 31, 2012

    January 1, 1997 to December 31, 2012

  • Stage of Bladder Cancer (10 Year Analysis)

    January 1, 1997 to December 31, 2012

Study Arms (2)

Pioglitazone exposed group

Defined as those patients having filled at least two prescriptions for pioglitazone within a 6-month period. Patients in the pioglitazone group may also have exposure to other diabetic medications

Drug: Pioglitazone

Pioglitazone unexposed group

Defined as patients who did not fill at least two prescriptions for pioglitazone within a 6-month period. Patients in the pioglitazone unexposed group may have been exposed to other diabetic medications. This group also included diabetic patients without any diabetic medications.

Interventions

Pioglitazone tablets.

Study Population

The study was conducted within Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC), which provides comprehensive healthcare services to approximately 3.2 million members. The source population was identified from the KPNC diabetes registry, which was first constructed in 1993 and has been updated annually since then. The registry identifies patients primarily from four data sources: primary hospital discharge diagnoses of diabetes mellitus (since 1971); two or more outpatient visit diagnoses of diabetes (since 1995); any prescription for a diabetes-related medication (since 1994); or any record of an abnormal hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test (\>6.7%) (since 1991). The diabetes registry gathers data from a variety of KPNC electronic medical records (EMR) to build and follow the registry cohort across time. These data include cancer registries, pharmacy records, laboratory records, and inpatient and outpatient medical diagnoses.

You may qualify if:

  • The study cohort included both patients with an established diagnosis of diabetes mellitus prior to January 1, 1997 and those who were newly diagnosed prior to December 31, 2002. Patients were eligible for the study cohort if they met any of the following criteria:
  • As of January 1, 1997 they had been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, were age 40 or older and were members of KPNC,
  • They had been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, reached age 40 between January 1, 1997 and December 31, 2002 and were KPNC members on their 40th birthday, or
  • Had diabetes mellitus and were age 40 or older when they joined KPNC between January 1, 1997 and December 31, 2002.

You may not qualify if:

  • Diagnosis of bladder cancer recorded in the KPNC cancer registry prior to entry to the cohort or within 6 months of entry into KPNC.
