Purpose • Bivalirudin (BIV) has been established as Class I therapy in the ESC/EACTS guidelines for anticoagulation in PCI for moderate to high risk NSTE-ACS and STE-ACS patients. • Antiplatelet agents are used as adjunctive agents with BIV or unfractionated or low molecular weight heparin (HEP) ± glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor (GPI) in PCI. • Prasugrel (PRAS) is a recently introduced agent and thus little data is available regarding the use of PRAS with BIV.
Observational database background • The Premier Perspective Database: • A comprehensive repository of clinical, financial, and outcomes information that undergo routine quality and completeness checks including data verification, reconciliation, and validation • Used by the FDA for drug surveillance and by CMS to evaluate next-generation payment models • Over 5 million inpatient discharges and over 30 million hospital outpatient visits are recorded annually; approximately 1/6 of all US hospitalizations • Potential to allow greater insight on comparative effectiveness issues
Methods • Using the Premier Perspective database, 6986 patients who underwent elective, urgent, or primary PCI between Q3 2009 and Q4 2010 from 166 US hospitals were identified. • Patients were treated with either BIV (n=3377) or HEP± GPI (n=3609) on the day of PCI and given PRAS before or on the day of PCI. • Outcomes of interest included bleeding, transfusion, death, and hospital length of stay. • To control for patient and hospital level characteristics, a 1:1 propensity score matching analysis was performed (PSM1). • PSM2 was performed to eliminate patients in whom the use of PRAS increases the risk of bleeding, (age> 75 years, prior stroke/TIA, low body weight, and CABG in the same hospitalization). • Differences between the treatment groups before and after PSM were presented using descriptive statistics, including unadjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).
Baseline characteristics • 6896 patients receiving bivalirudin or heparin+GPI for PCI • Prasugrel was given on the day of PCI in both groups
Baseline characteristics • Propensity score -matched populations • PSM 1= 1:1 propensity score matched; PSM 2= eliminates patients in whom the use of PRAS increases the risk of bleeding, (age> 75 years, prior stroke/TIA, low body weight, and CABG in the same hospitalization
Results 1-2: Clinically apparent bleeding • In- hospital outcomes BIV better HEP± GPI better PSM 1= 1:1 propensity score matched; PSM 2= eliminates patients in whom the use of PRAS increases the risk of bleeding, (age> 75 years, prior stroke/TIA, low body weight, and CABG in the same hospitalization
Clinically apparent bleeding requiring transfusion • In- hospital outcomes BIV better HEP± GPI better PSM 1= 1:1 propensity score matched; PSM 2= eliminates patients in whom the use of PRAS increases the risk of bleeding, (age> 75 years, prior stroke/TIA, low body weight, and CABG in the same hospitalization
Results 3-5: Any transfusion • In- hospital outcomes BIV better HEP ± GPI better PSM 1= 1:1 propensity score matched; PSM 2= eliminates patients in whom the use of PRAS increases the risk of bleeding, (age> 75 years, prior stroke/TIA, low body weight, and CABG in the same hospitalization
Death • In- hospital outcomes BIV better HEP ± GPI better PSM 1= 1:1 propensity score matched; PSM 2= eliminates patients in whom the use of PRAS increases the risk of bleeding, (age> 75 years, prior stroke/TIA, low body weight, and CABG in the same hospitalization
Length of hospital stay PSM 1= 1:1 propensity score matched; PSM 2= eliminatespatients in whom the use of PRAS increases the risk of bleeding, (age> 75 years, prior stroke/TIA, low body weight, and CABG in the same hospitalization
Conclusions • In this analysis of real world data, patients receiving bivalirudin and prasugrelhad fewer transfusions than with HEP ± GPI and a shorter length of hospital stay.
