Demonstrating the Clinical and Economic Benefit of 5 Alpha Reductase Inhibitor Adherence in Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Adherent with 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor (5ARI) therapy and Non-adherent to 5ARI therapy for Prostatic Hyperplasia. Completed, enrolled 35,032 participants.
Detailed Summary
This retrospective study aims to quantify the relationship between 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor (5ARI) adherence / length of therapy and the likelihood of acute urinary retention (AUR) or prostate surgery in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) as well as the economic impact associated with these medical encounters. The Integrated Health Care Information Solutions (IHCIS) database will be utilized for this study (2000-2006).

Timeline
Interventions
Patient with BPH who are adherent to 5ARI therapy (Adherence will be calculated using a medication possession ratio (MPR); 3 MPR threshold values of 70%, 75%, and 80% will be evaluated.)
Patients with BPH non-adherent to 5ARI therapy (Adherence will be calculated using a MPR; 3 MPR threshold values of 70%, 75%, and 80% will be evaluated.)
