Brief Summary

Investigators are building an empirical evidence base for real world data through large-scale replication of randomized controlled trials. The investigators' goal is to understand for what types of clinical questions real world data analyses can be conducted with confidence and how to implement such studies.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Time to first occurrence of deep-vein thrombosis, nonfatal pulmonary embolism, or death from any cause at 36 days

    The primary outcome is the time from 1 day after prescription fill of the exposure or comparator to the first occurrence of any component of the composite endpoint: deep-vein thrombosis, nonfatal pulmonary embolism, or death from any cause within 36 days after elective total hip arthroplasty, comparing rivaroxaban versus enoxaparin.

    From 1 day after fill until the earliest of outcome occurrence, end of data or study period, death, treatment discontinuation +10-day grace/risk window, nursing home admission, treatment augmentation, switch to other NOAC/Warfarin, assessed up to 36 days

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Time to first occurrence of major bleeding

    From 1 day after fill until the earliest of outcome occurrence, end of data or study period, death, treatment discontinuation +10-day grace/risk window, nursing home admission, treatment augmentation, switch to other NOAC/Warfarin, assessed up to 36 days

  • Time to first occurrence of fracture or fall

    From 1 day after fill until the earliest of outcome occurrence, end of data or study period, death, treatment discontinuation +10-day grace/risk window, nursing home admission, treatment augmentation, switch to other NOAC/Warfarin, assessed up to 36 days

Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

This study will involve a new user, parallel group, propensity score-matched, retrospective cohort study design comparing rivaroxaban to enoxaparin users. The patients will be required to have continuous enrollment during a baseline period of 180 days before initiation of rivaroxaban or enoxaparin (index date). We will restrict the analyses to patients who underwent a total hip arthroplasty.

You may qualify if:

  • At least 18 years of age
  • Scheduled to undergo elective total hip arthroplasty

You may not qualify if:

  • Scheduled to undergo staged, bilateral hip arthroplasty \[Day -30, Day 0\]
  • Pregnany or breastfeeding \[Day -180, Day 0\]
  • Had active bleeding or high risk of bleeding \[Day -180, Day 0\]
  • Had conditions preventing bilateral venography \[Day -30, Day 0\]
  • Congestive heart failure \[Day -180, Day 0\]
  • Pulmonary hypertension \[Day -180, Day 0\]
  • Edema of legs \[Day -180, Day 0\]
  • Substantial liver disease \[Day -180, Day 0\]
  • Severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance \<30 ml per minute) \[Day -180, Day 0\]
  • Concomitant use of protease inhibitors for the treatment of HIV \[Day -180, Day 0\]
