Background
Due to systematic exclusion of patients on chronic dialysis in P2Y clinical trials, risk factors associated with their choice remain unknown.
Methods
Using U.S. Renal Data System data, we identified dialysis patients who received new P2Y prescriptions, and analyzed trends in P2Y use and clinical risk factors associated with their choice using regression models.
Results
From 2011 to 2014, 36,590 ESRD patients received P2Y (95% clopidogrel, 3% prasugrel and 2% ticagrelor) with a proportional decrease in clopidogrel use, no change in prasugrel use and a proportional increase in ticagrelor use (p-for trend <0.0001, 0.61 and <0.0001). Median age was 64.0 years, 18% were ≥75 years, 54% men, 36% African American, 19% Hispanic and 93% on hemodialysis. History of atherosclerotic heart disease (ASHD) and thrombotic cardiovascular (CV) events were associated with choice of ticagrelor over clopidogrel [adjusted OR 5.43 (3.23, 9.15) and 2.13 (1.73, 2.62)] and prasugrel over clopidogrel [10.24 (6.66, 15.74) and 1.88 (1.63, 2.16)]. Severity of comorbidities and presence of diabetes mellitus were not associated with P2Y choice. Of the clinical events occuring 90-days prior to the index date of P2Y, percutaneous coronary intervention was the strongest independent factor favoring ticagrelor over others, adjusted OR 10.21 (8.09, 12.89) and 1.75 (1.32, 2.30).
Conclusion
Ticagrelor has gained popularity while prasugrel use remained unchanged in dialysis patients. In the absence of outcomes data in dialysis patients, clinicians favored use of ticagrelor over other P2Ys when patients had history of ASHD or CV events or were undergoing coronary revascularization. These findings suggest presence of channeling bias in prescribing P2Y to this patient population.
