ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryMean Number of Post-index Asthma-related Events Measured Using Medical and Pharmacy ClaimsUp to 7 years from July 1, 2001 to June 30, 2008
Asthma-related events were defined as events with any primary ICD-9 code of 493.xx for hospitalizations, emergency department visits, and combined hospitalization/emergency department visits. The post-index period is defined as 3-12 months after either the first administration of fluticasone propionate and salmetrol or inhaled corticosteroids. Medical and pharmacy claims are recorded healthcare encounters in a large managed care administrative insurance database.
SecondaryMean Asthma-related Costs in the Post-index PeriodUp to 7 years from July 1, 2001 to June 30, 2008
Asthma-related costs were calculated as pharmacy costs, medical costs, and total asthma (pharmacy plus medical) costs. Medical costs were made up of asthma-related visits, hospitalizations, emergency department visits, and medical office visits. Pharmacy costs were comprised of all asthma-related medications used during the follow-up period. Medical services were identified by place of service and PharMetrics-specific confinement codes. Prescriptions were counted by 30-day fills, with fills less than 30 days rounded up to indicate one fill.
SecondaryMean Number of Albuterol (Short-acting β-Agonists) Canisters Dispensed Per Pharmacy Claim Per ParticipantUp to 7 years from July 1, 2001 to June 30, 2008The number of albuterol canisters dispensed was used as a surrogate marker of asthma symptoms.
