Differential Adherence to Free and Single‑Pill Combination of Rosuvastatin/Ezetimibe: Findings from a Real‑World Analysis in Italy
Abstract Introduction Adherence to cardiovascular drug treatment can significantly benefit from a reduced pill burden, but data on this matter derived from real-life settings are currently scanty. This analysis assessed the possible changes in adherence in patients treated with rosuvastatin and ezetimibe (ROS/EZE) as free multi-pill combination who switched to ROS/EZE as single-pill combination in… Leggi tutto »Differential Adherence to Free and Single‑Pill Combination of Rosuvastatin/Ezetimibe: Findings from a Real‑World Analysis in Italy

Analisi del percorso terapeutico e del consumo di risorse sanitarie in pazienti diabetici in trattamento insulinico: uno studio di real-world evidence su un campione di ASL della regione Sicilia
Italian reports indicate that more than one-third of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) require insulin therapy within 8 years of diagnosis, and commonly basal insulin represents the frontline option. An observational analysis was conducted with the aim of investigating patients treated with basal insulin alone in a sample of Local health Units of Sicily… Leggi tutto »Analisi del percorso terapeutico e del consumo di risorse sanitarie in pazienti diabetici in trattamento insulinico: uno studio di real-world evidence su un campione di ASL della regione Sicilia
Profile, Healthcare Resource Consumption and Related Costs in ANCA-Associated Vasculitis Patients: a Real-World Analysis in Italy
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV) are rare autoimmune diseases triggeringinflammation of small vessels. This real-world analysis was focused on the most common AAV forms, granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), to describe patients’ demographic and clinical characteristics,therapeutic management, disease progression, and the related economic burden. A retrospective analysis was conducted on administrative… Leggi tutto »Profile, Healthcare Resource Consumption and Related Costs in ANCA-Associated Vasculitis Patients: a Real-World Analysis in Italy
A retrospective analysis of treatment patterns, drug discontinuation and healthcare costs in Crohn’s disease patients treated with biologics
Background/aims: This real-world analysis evaluated the persistence and direct healthcare costs of Crohn’s Disease (CD) patients treated with biologics in Italy. Methods: A retrospective analysis on administrative databases of Italian healthcare entities, covering 10.4 million residents, was performed.

Incidence and Predictors of Switching and Dose Change of Direct Oral Anticoagulants among Elderly Patients with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation: A 5-Year Analysis of a Large Administrative Database
In the last decade, novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) have emerged as prominent therapeutic options in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). We analysed the clinical burden and the switching rate between all available NOACs, and their dosage change over a period of 5 years in a representative population of patients with NVAF aged between 70 and 75… Leggi tutto »Incidence and Predictors of Switching and Dose Change of Direct Oral Anticoagulants among Elderly Patients with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation: A 5-Year Analysis of a Large Administrative Database

Healthcare Resource Consumption and Related Costs in Patients on Antiretroviral Therapies: Findings from Real-World Data in Italy
This real-world analysis conducted on administrative databases of a sample of Italian healthcare entities was aimed at describing the role of therapeutic pathways and drug utilization in terms of adherence, persistence, and therapy discontinuation in HIV-infected patients under antiretroviral therapies (ART) and Tenofovir Alafenamide (TAF)-based regimens on healthcare resource consumption and related direct healthcare costs. Between 2015 and 2019, adults (≥18 years) prescribed with TAF-based therapies were identified and characterized in the year prior to the first prescription (index-date) for TAF-based therapies and followed-up until the end of data availability. Overall, 2658 ART-treated patients were included, 1198 of which were under a TAF-based regimen. TAF-based therapies were associated with elevated percentages of adherence (83.3% patients with proportion of days covered, PDC > 95% and 90.6% with PDC > 85%) and persistence (78.5%). The discontinuation rate was low in TAF-treated patients, ranging from 3.3% in TAF-switchers to 5% in naïve. Persistent patients had lower overall mean annual healthcare expenditures (EUR 11,106 in persistent vs. EUR 12,380 in non-persistent, p = 0.005), and this trend was statistically significant also for costs related to HIV hospitalizations. These findings suggest that a better therapeutic management of HIV infection might result in positive clinical and economic outcomes.
