The aim of this study was to compare the utilization of antihypertensive medicines in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania from 2008 to 2018. In this retrospective cross-national comparison, nationally representative wholesale data from the IQVIA National Retail Audit were analyzed. The utilization of inhibitors of the renin–angiotensin system, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, diuretics and centrally acting antihypertensives by Defined Daily Doses per 1000 inhabitants and day (DDD/TID) was used to calculate utilization. Time series analysis was used to analyze trends. The utilization increased annually by 10.88, 8.04 and 6.42 DDD/TID in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, respectively, from 2008. The utilization of antihypertensive drugs in 2018 was 372, 267 and 379.5 DDD/TID, respectively. Inhibitors of the renin–angiotensin system were the most commonly used class in 2008 and 2018. From 2008, the utilization of beta blockers and fixed-dose combinations including renin–angiotensin system inhibitors increased substantially, while that of calcium channel blockers decreased. Country-specific utilization trends were noted; e.g., the utilization of centrally acting antihypertensives was 30.9 DDD/TID in Lithuania compared to 3.01 DDD/TID in Estonia and 16.17 DDD/TID in Latvia. The use of antihypertensive medicines increased over the study period, but the trends for the different drug classes differed between countries.","PeriodicalId":74431,"journal":{"name":"Pharmacoepidemiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43392656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it is unknown\u0000whether drugs for non-cardiac disease that block cardiac depolarization\u0000as off-target effect increase the risk of OHCA on a population level.\u0000Therefore, we aimed to investigate OHCA-risk of non-cardiac DB-drugs in\u0000the community. Methods We conducted a population-based case-control\u0000study. We included OHCA-cases from an Emergency Medical Services\u0000attended OHCA-registry in the Netherlands (ARREST:2009-2018), and\u0000age/sex/OHCA-date matched non-OHCA-controls. We calculated adjusted odds\u0000ratios (ORadj) of use of non-cardiac DB-drugs for OHCA, using\u0000conditional logistic regression. Stratified analyses were performed\u0000according to first-registered rhythm (VT/VF or non-VT/VF), sex and age\u0000(≤50, 50-70, or ≥70 years). Results We included 5,473 OHCA-cases of whom\u0000427 (7.8%) used non-cardiac DB-drugs, and 21,866 non-OHCA-controls of\u0000whom 835 (3.8%) used non-cardiac DB-drugs, and found that non-cardiac\u0000DB-drug use was associated with increased OHCA-risk when compared to\u0000no-use (ORadj1.6[95%-CI:1.4-1.9]). Stratification by first-recorded\u0000rhythm revealed that this applied to OHCA with non-VT/VF (asystole)\u0000(ORadj2.5[95%-CI:2.1-3.0]), but not with VT/VF\u0000(ORadj1.0[95%-CI:0.8-1.2];P-value interaction<0.001). The\u0000risk was higher in women (ORadj 1.8[95%-CI:1.5-2.2] than in men\u0000(ORadj1.5[95%-CI:1.2-1.8];P-value interaction=0.030) and at younger\u0000age\u0000(ORadj≥70yrs1.4[95%-CI:1.2-1.7];ORadj50-70yrs1.7[95%-CI:1.4-2.1];ORadj≤50yrs3.2[95%-CI:2.1-5.0];P-value\u0000interaction<0.001). Conclusions Use of non-cardiac DB-drugs is\u0000associated with increased OHCA-risk in the general population. This\u0000increased risk occurred in patients in whom non-VT/VF was the\u0000first-registered rhythm, and it occurred in both sexes, but more\u0000prominently among women, and more strongly in younger patients (≤50\u0000years).","PeriodicalId":74431,"journal":{"name":"Pharmacoepidemiology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45585094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
