Aggregate data SURPASS‐2 study that met inclusion criterion SUSTAIN FORTE metformin‐only treated were used for analysis. Results refined population comprised 238/245/240 240 participants 1 mg, respectively. 222...
Studies that compare prostate cancer treatment costs show wide variation. None all contemporary costs, and most focus on initial costs. The authors compared healthcare utilization cost patterns of treatments over a span 5.5 years in 4553 newly diagnosed patients stratified by age risk group.Contemporary evaluation for were identified using CaPSURE, national disease registry men with included ongoing clinical data collection from 31 academic community urology practices biennial...
Gout is a common cause of inflammatory arthritis in the United States, and its prevalence has increased recent decades, especially among older adults. Older adults with gout are particular interest because they tend to experience higher rates tophi, an advanced stage gout, than do younger patients.For (1) assess health care utilization costs from third-party payer perspective; (2) evaluate related tophi; (3) explore relationship between elevated serum uric acid (UA) level, indicator disease...
Increased serum urate (sUA) levels (> or =6.0 mg/dL) are associated with increased likelihood of acute gout attacks, "flares."Identify flares administrative claims data; examine the relationship between sUA and flares; association flare-related costs.This retrospective analysis examined subjects =2 medical ICD-9-CM diagnosis code 274.xx > =1 claim a pharmacy for allopurinol, probenecid, colchicine, sulfinpyrazone) January 1, 2002 March 31, 2004. Each subject was observed during 1-year...
Summary Background Treatments for Crohn's disease ( CD ) and ulcerative colitis UC are not uniformly effective, thus necessitating dose changes, switching, augmentation carry adverse event risk, often requiring discontinuation, which reduces treatment benefits. Aim To assess continuity of changes to initial treatments, as well costs associated with specific parameters defining suboptimal therapy. Methods Commercial US insurance claims (2006–2010) were retrospectively analysed. patients...
OBJECTIVES: Nocturnal heartburn and related sleep disturbances are common among patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This study evaluated the efficacy of dexlansoprazole MR 30 mg in relieving nocturnal GERD-related disturbances, improving work productivity, decreasing symptom severity symptomatic GERD. METHODS: Patients (N=305) frequent, moderate-to-very severe associated were randomized 1:1 a double-blind fashion to receive or placebo once daily for 4 weeks. The primary end...
Aims To evaluate adherence, persistence, glycaemic control and costs at 12‐month follow‐up for patients initiating dulaglutide versus liraglutide or exenatide once weekly. Materials methods The present retrospective observational claims study included with type 2 diabetes (T2D) ≥ 1 pharmacy claim dulaglutide, weekly from the HealthCore Integrated Research Database. Adherence was defined as proportion of days covered ≥80%, persistence measured by time to discontinuation index therapy. Change...
Abstract Aims To understand patient preferences for once‐daily oral versus once‐weekly injectable type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) medication administration profiles, and reasons their preferences. Materials methods The REVISE study, a cross‐sectional online survey of 600 participants with T2DM (United Kingdom, n = 300; United States, 300), elicited general medications, the preference. Participants then viewed two videos describing procedures dulaglutide semaglutide, based on product...
The REWIND trial demonstrated cardiovascular (CV) benefits to patients with type 2 diabetes and multiple CV risk factors or established disease. This exploratory analysis evaluated the degree which effect of dulaglutide on could statistically account for its effects major adverse events (MACE) in trial.Potential mediators that were significantly reduced by assessed a post hoc using repeated measures mixed models included glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), body weight, waist-to-hip ratio, systolic...
Objective. We examined the association between serum uric acid (SUA) level and frequency, risk, cost of gout flares among elderly. Methods. Data were extracted from Integrated Healthcare Information Services claims database (1999–2005). Patients included if they had gout, aged 65 years older both medical pharmacy benefits, electronic laboratory data. with gouty episodes identified using algorithms based on ICD-9-CM codes medications. Logistic regression negative binomial regressions used to...

Objectives:Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common gastrointestinal disorder. Prevalence estimates of IBS vary widely, from 10 to 15%, in the U.S. However, few studies have examined constipation predominant (IBS-C), subtype IBS. The aim this study was assess effect IBS-C on health-related quality life (HRQOL), work productivity and activity impairment, health care resource use.
Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) and associated CpG island hypermethylation represent early events the development of low-grade gliomas secondary glioblastomas. To identify candidate tumor suppressor genes whose promoter methylation may contribute to gliomagenesis, we compared profiles IDH1 mutant (MUT) wild-type (WT) tumors using massively parallel reduced representation bisulfite sequencing. Reduced sequencing was performed on ten pathologically matched WT MUT glioma samples...
