About this study

Official title: The Incidence of Venous Thromboembolism in Atopic Dermatitis: A Matched Cohort Analysis in UK Primary Care

This study aims to investigate the incidence of venous thromboembolism in people who are diagnosed with atopic dermatitis.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to examine whether venous thromboembolism is higher in people with atopic dermatitis compared and those without and to explore the risk in particular subgroups of people with AD such as those with higher body mass index or using oestrogen containing contraceptives. Such insights will be valuable for clinicians in advising patients with atopic dermatitis regarding venous thromboembolism prevention and detection and when selecting atopic dermatitis treatments.

Being tested

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Diagnosis of Venous Thromboembolism After the Start of Follow-up for Each Person.

    To describe the risk of venous thromboembolism (composite of pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis) in people with active AD compared to a matched control population.

    Measured: 10 years from index date

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Number of Participants With Diagnosis of Pulmonary Embolism After the Start of Follow-up for Each Person

    To describe the risk of pulmonary embolism in people with active AD compared to a matched control population.

    Measured: 10 years from index date

  2. Number of Participants With Diagnosis of Deep-vein Thrombosis After the Start of Follow-up for Each Person

    To describe the risk of deep-vein thrombosis in people with active AD compared to a matched control population.

    Measured: 10 years from index date

  3. Number of Male Participants With Diagnosis of Risk of Venous Thromboembolism After the Start of Follow-up for Each Person

    To explore the risk of VTE stratified by the male sex at the baseline in people with active AD compared to a matched control population.

    Measured: 10 years from index date

  4. Number of Female Participants With Diagnosis of Risk of Venous Thromboembolism After the Start of Follow-up for Each Person

    To explore the risk of VTE stratified by the female sex at the baseline in people with active AD compared to a matched control population.

    Measured: 10 years from index date

  5. Number of Participants Aged 18-44 With Diagnosis of Venous Thromboembolism After the Start of Follow-up for Each Person

    To explore the risk of VTE stratified by those aged 18-44 at the baseline in people with active AD compared to a matched control population.

    Measured: 10 years from index date

  6. Number of Participants Aged 45-64 With Diagnosis of Venous Thromboembolism After the Start of Follow-up for Each Person

    To explore the risk of VTE stratified by those aged 45-64 at the baseline in people with active AD compared to a matched control population.

    Measured: 10 years from index date

  7. Number of Participants Aged ≥65 With Diagnosis of Venous Thromboembolism After the Start of Follow-up for Each Person

    To explore the risk of VTE stratified by those aged ≥65 at the baseline in people with active AD compared to a matched control population.

    Measured: 10 years from index date

  8. Number of Participants BMI <30 With Diagnosis of Venous Thromboembolism After the Start of Follow-up for Each Person

    To explore the risk of VTE stratified by those with a BMI <30 at the baseline with active AD compared to a matched control population.

    Patients with active AD and missing BMI are excluded along with their related matched cases.

    Patients with active AD and no matched controls with BMI recorded are also excluded.

    Measured: 10 years from index date

  9. Number of Participants BMI ≥30 With Diagnosis of Venous Thromboembolism After the Start of Follow-up for Each Person

    To explore the risk of VTE stratified by those with a BMI ≥30 at the baseline in people with active AD compared to a matched control population.

    Patients with active AD and missing BMI are excluded along with their related matched cases.

    Patients with active AD and no matched controls with BMI recorded are also excluded.

    Measured: 10 years from index date

  10. Number of Female Participants Aged 18-44 Using Oestrogen Contraceptive With Diagnosis of Venous Thromboembolism After the Start of Follow-up for Each Person

    To explore the risk of VTE stratified by oestrogen contraceptive use in females aged 18-44 years at the baseline in people with active AD compared to a matched control population.

    Measured: 10 years from index date

  11. Number of Participants Having History of an Allergic Condition With Diagnosis of Venous Thromboembolism After the Start of Follow-up for Each Person

    To explore risk of VTE stratified by the presence, or absence of allergic conditions at baseline in people with active AD compared to a matched control population.. Allergic conditions will comprise common allergies; allergic rhinitis, allergy to dust mites or animal dander, and food allergies e.g., nut, fruit, shellfish, eggs and cows' milk allergies. Medication and other allergies will not be included.

    Measured: 10 years from index date
