ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND AIMS:
The coprescription of an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) with clopidogrel reportedly increases bleeding risk. However, studies have not described such an increase in cases of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).METHODS:
We analyzed electronic medical records of patients with discharge records of having undergone DAPT after PCI from a national health insurance claims database for January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2014. The date of PCI was the index date, and the primary outcome was major bleeding. The unit of analysis was one person-quarter. We compared patients who were prescribed with those not prescribed an ACEi in the cohort. A Poisson model with inverse probability of treatment weighting was fitted using generalized estimating equations to measure the risk of outcomes.RESULTS:
In total, 193,258 patients underwent DAPT after PCI; 46% had a coprescription of an ACEi. After screening, 170,775 patients (479,263 person-quarters) remained for analysis. The mean patient age was 65 ± 13 years, and 73.43% were men. In total, 79,739 prescriptions of an ACEi were written 57%, 14.21%, 8.88%, 7.17%, and 4.68% were for captopril, ramipril, enalapril, perindopril, and imidapril, respectively. A concomitant prescription of an ACEi with clopidogrel was not associated with increased bleeding risk (adjusted rate ratio 1.08, 99% confidence interval 0.99-1.17).CONCLUSIONS:
The coadministration of an ACEi with clopidogrel after PCI is common. In this real-world cohort study, such coadministration was not associated with an increased risk of major bleeding in patients undergoing DAPT after PCI.Palavras-chave
