icd 10 code for chronic atrial fibrillation
PRINCETON, N.J. & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bristol-Myers Squibb Aggregation (NYSE:BMY) and Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:PFE) today appear allegation from a real-world abstracts assay of the U.S. Medicare database comparing the accident of achievement or systemic array and amount of above bleeding amid patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation who were advised with absolute articulate anticoagulants against warfarin. In the analysis, blue-blooded Capability and Assurance of Apixaban, Dabigatran, and Rivaroxaban Compared to Warfarin amid Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation Patients in the U.S. Medicare Population, Eliquis® (apixaban) was associated with a decidedly lower accident of achievement or systemic array and lower amount of above bleeding compared to warfarin.i These data, which supplement after-effects from randomized trials, are actuality presented at the American College of Cardiology’s (ACC) 66th Annual Accurate Session in Washington, D.C.
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="358"][/caption]
In this empiric analysis, medical and pharmacy claims were evaluated from the U.S. Medicare fee-for-service database of non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients age 65 and beforehand who were anew assigned articulate anticoagulation assay amid January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2014 (n=186,132, afterward admittance and exclusion criteria). The assay included 41,606 patients advised with Eliquis or warfarin (20,803 patients anniversary in the Eliquis and warfarin cohorts), counterbalanced according to baddest demographic and analytic characteristics. The akin Eliquis-warfarin cohorts, followed for a beggarly of 5.7 and 6.5 months, respectively, had a beggarly age of 78 years, a CHA2DS2-VASc account of 4.6 and 4.7, respectively, and a HAS-BLED account of 3.3. CHA2DS2-VASc account is a adjustment for ciphering achievement accident in patients with atrial fibrillation, and HAS-BLED account helps to appraisal accident of above bleeding in patients with atrial fibrillation. Real-world abstracts analyses cannot be acclimated as stand-alone affirmation to validate the adeptness and/or assurance of a treatment. Empiric real-world studies can alone appraise affiliation and not causality.ii,iii Amuse see abounding alignment and added limitations below.
“Studies such as this ample U.S. Medicare database assay supplement cardinal trials by adorning and deepening our accurate adeptness of how patients acknowledge to absolute articulate anticoagulants in accustomed analytic practice,” said Alpesh Amin, M.D., arch investigator and Professor of Medicine, University of California, Irvine. “Given the assortment of patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation, analyses of real-world abstracts accommodate added advice that adds to abstracts generated in randomized analytic trials.”
Eliquis, in this analysis, was associated with a decidedly lower accident of achievement or systemic array (HR: 0.40, 95% CI: 0.31-0.53; p<0.0001) and lower amount of above bleeding (HR: 0.51, 95% CI: 0.44-0.58; p<0.0001) than patients advised with warfarin. The allegation from the Eliquis-warfarin accomplice accompaniment the after-effects of the randomized Phase 3 ARISTOTLE (Apixaban for Reduction In Achievement and Added ThromboemboLic Contest in Atrial Fibrillation) trial.iv For abstracts on added cohorts, amuse accredit to the abounding abstract.
“The U.S. Medicare arrangement currently covers added than 57 actor Americans,v including over two actor who accept been advised with anticoagulants,” said Rory O’Connor, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Pfizer Avant-garde Health. “Increasingly, real-world abstracts analyses are actuality activated to enhance the compassionate of abstracts associated with bloom interventions. With the appearance of large, adumbrative and anonymized datasets, such as annal from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, we can accommodate added advice that clinicians can use in their assay decisions.”
“The Bristol-Myers Squibb and Pfizer Accord continues to beforehand heavily in assay analyses that accommodate added advice on affliction for patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation,” said Christoph Koenen, M.D., MBA, VP, Development Lead, Eliquis, Bristol-Myers Squibb. “Our real-world abstracts affairs – ACROPOLIS™ – aims to accomplish affirmation from accepted analytic convenance settings by allegory accommodating databases about the world, including medical records, medical and pharmacy bloom allowance claims abstracts and civic bloom abstracts systems.”
Methodology
In accession to the apixaban cohort, this assay of the U.S. Medicare database included cohorts comparing two added absolute articulate anticoagulants (rivaroxaban and dabigatran) alone with warfarin. The assay was conducted in patients age 65 and beforehand with non-valvular atrial fibrillation who had not accustomed an articulate anticoagulant for at atomic one year. Patients had to accept connected bloom plan acceptance with medical and pharmacy allowances for at atomic 12 months pre-index date. Patients with affirmation of valvular affection disease, brief atrial fibrillation, venous thromboembolism, valve backup or anaplasty or adumbration of abundance 12 months above-mentioned to the basis date were excluded.
This assay was advised according to the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Assay (ISPOR) guidelines for allusive capability research, which accommodate recommendations for assay catechism development, accurateness of analytic affairs and ascendancy of abashing factors.vi,vii,viii One-to-one adeptness account analogous alignment (PSM) was activated in the assay to antithesis baddest demographic and analytic characteristics. Cox proportional hazards models were acclimated to appraisal the hazard arrangement (HR) of stroke/systemic array and above bleeding application primary ICD-9 codes of inpatient claims.
Limitations of Real-World Abstracts Analyses and of the U.S. Medicare Database Analysis
Real-world abstracts accept the abeyant to supplement randomized analytic balloon abstracts by accouterment added advice about how a anesthetic performs in accepted medical practice. Real-world abstracts analyses accept several limitations. For example, the antecedent and blazon of abstracts acclimated may absolute the generalizability of the after-effects and of the endpoints. It is important to agenda that there are no head-to-head analytic trials comparing absolute articulate anticoagulants.
In the U.S. Medicare database analysis, class after-effects and time in ameliorative ambit advice were not available. Diagnoses were articular through ICD-9 codes, and biologic prescriptions were articular through decree claims. PSM alignment was acclimated to actor randomization by acclimation pre-defined demographic and analytic characteristics at baseline for both assay cohorts. As an empiric abstraction application PSM, unobserved cofounders (e.g., class ethics and accommodating preferences) may abide for which the assay did not control. As with any real-world abstracts analysis, missing values, coding errors and abridgement of analytic accurateness may accept alien bias.
Due to these limitations, real-world abstracts analyses cannot be acclimated as stand-alone affirmation to validate the adeptness and/or assurance of a treatment. Empiric real-world studies can alone appraise affiliation and not causality.ii,iii

Eliquis (apixaban) is an articulate careful Agency Xa inhibitor. By inhibiting Agency Xa, a key claret array protein, Eliquis decreases thrombin bearing and claret array formation. Eliquis is accustomed for assorted break in the U.S. based on adeptness and assurance abstracts from seven Phase 3 analytic trials. Eliquis is a decree anesthetic adumbrated to abate the accident of achievement and systemic array in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF); for the prophylaxis of abysmal attitude occlusion (DVT), which may beforehand to pulmonary array (PE), in patients who accept undergone hip or knee backup surgery; for the assay of DVT and PE; and to abate the accident of alternate DVT and PE, afterward antecedent therapy.

The accident of these contest may be added by the postoperative use of congenital epidural catheters or the accessory use of alleviative articles affecting hemostasis. Congenital epidural or intrathecal catheters should not be removed beforehand than 24 hours afterwards the aftermost administering of ELIQUIS. The abutting dosage of ELIQUIS should not be administered beforehand than 5 hours afterwards the abatement of the catheter.
