Study description

Descriptive, retrospective cohort study with secondary use of data derived from the PharMetricsTM Health Plan Claims Database from 1 July 2005 through 30 June 2012 (or the most recent data available at the time of data extraction). The objective of this study is to assess the incidence of probable ischemic colitis (defined as evidence of a recorded diagnosis of ischemic colitis within 3 months after a colonoscopy, rectosigmoidoscopy or a colectomy) in treated hypertensive patients (focusing on patients using aliskiren) and by demographic characteristics, antihypertensive therapy use over the follow-up period, and adherence to antihypertensive therapy. Additionally, we will also look for incidence of probable ischemic colitis within a sample of the general population (patients without a diagnosis of hypertension or antihypertensive drug use).
