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.

Study Population

This study will involve a new user, parallel group, propensity score-matched, retrospective cohort study design comparing rivaroxaban to apixaban users. The patients will be required to have continuous enrollment during a baseline period of 180 days before initiation of rivaroxaban or apixaban (index date). Analysis is restricted to patients hospitalized with a VTE.

You may qualify if:

  • Hospitalization for PE or Proximal DVT \[Day -14, Day 0\]
  • At least 18 years of age

You may not qualify if:

  • Prior use of a DOAC or warfarin \[Day -180, Day 0\]
  • Stage 4 or 5 chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease \[Day -180, Day 0\]
  • Dialysis or renal transplant \[Day -180, Day 0\]
  • Recent major or clinically relevant non-major bleeding \[Day -180, Day 0\]
  • Cancer \[Day -180, Day 0\]
  • Bypass surgery, obesity, or the use of a weight loss or appetite suppressor \[Day -180, Day 0\]
  • Significant liver disease and coagulopathy \[Day -180, Day 0\]
  • Use of CYP3A4 or P-gp inhibitors or inducers \[Day -180, Day 0\]
  • Other indications for anticoagulation (atrial fibrillation or prosthetic heart valve) \[Day -180, Day 0\]
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding \[Day -180, Day 0\]
  • Use of an antiplatelet \[Day -180, Day 0\]
