Increased major bleeding incidence in atrial fibrillation patients with apixaban: a review of Japanese post-marketing surveillance studies of direct oral anticoagulants
AbstractLarge-scaled post-marketing surveillance studies (PMSSs) of 4 direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for stroke prevention in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) were conducted since 2011 in Japan, and the results of the last one have recently been published. Each reported a more than acceptable ischemic stroke prevention. The major bleeding rates were also acceptably low and comparable to each other in the PMSSs of dabigatran (J-dabigatran), rivaroxaban (XAPASS), and edoxaban (ETNA-AF-Japan). However, the incidence in PMSS of apixaban (STANDARD) was more than double the others. This finding appeared to contradict th...

Prescription patterns and therapeutic effects of second-line drugs in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: Analysis of claims data for metformin and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors as the first-line hypoglycemic agents
CONCLUSIONS: Metformin was suggested to have larger effect to reduce death than sulfonylurea in patients receiving first-line DPP4i. The order of first- and second-line for the DPP4i and metformin combination did not affect the outcomes. Given the nature of the study design, certain limitations, including potential under-adjustment for confounders, should be considered.PMID:37096493 | DOI:10.1080/14656566.2023.2206016

Interference of New Antiseizure Agents with Hospital Transfer of Stroke Patients in Japan: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Biol Pharm Bull. 2023;46(3):440-445. doi: 10.1248/bpb.b22-00787.ABSTRACTPatients in Japan often have difficulty in screening and selecting chronic-care and rehabilitation hospitals for transfer because of the high cost and unavailability of new antiseizure medications, such as perampanel and lacosamide. To investigate whether the requirement for perampanel and lacosamide interfered with patients' hospital transfer by comparing the number of days required for hospital transfer. Data were obtained from patients 1) who were diagnosed with intracerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction, 2) who were treated with antiseizure me...

Effects of a Pharmacist-Led Educational Interventional Program on Electronic Monitoring-Assessed Adherence to Direct Oral Anticoagulants: A Randomized, Controlled Trial in Patients with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation
In this study, the selection of DOACs was not randomized, and the lack of assessment of the association between adherence to DOACs and clinical outcomes was a limitation.
