Validation of Medication Proxies for the Identification of Hospitalizations for Major Adverse Cerebro-Cardiovascular Events by Steenhuis D, Li X, Feenstra TL, Hak E

“…Therefore, in this study, we aim to assess the validity of various medicines used as a proxy for major adverse cardio-cerebrovascular events (MACCE), that is, to identify an incident or previous hospitalization for a MACCE.Patients and Methods: Using the claims database of a large Dutch healthcare insurer, we estimated the concordance between hospitalization claims for MACCE and specific claims for dispensings to treat MACCE in a cohort of patients on primary preventive antihypertensive and/or antihyperlipidemic therapy between 2013 and 2020.Results: In a cohort of more than 110,000 patients, a dispensing of either vitamin K antagonists, platelet aggregation inhibitors, or nitrates was predictive of an incident hospitalization for a MACCE between 2013 and 2020, with a sensitivity of 71.5% (95% CI: 70.4– 72.5%) and specificity of 93.2% (95% CI 91.1– 93.4%), and any history of hospitalization for a MACCE (prevalence) with a sensitivity of 86.9% (95% CI: 86.5– 87.3%) and specificity of 81.9 (956% CI: 81.6– 82.1%), while positive predicted value remains low. Sensitivity analyses across age, sex, and patients with asthma/COPD or diabetes showed a similarly good performance.Conclusion: Claims for the dispensings of vitamin K antagonists, platelet aggregation inhibitors, and/or nitrates can be validly used as a proxy for new and previous hospitalization for MACCE in patients on primary preventive therapy. …”
