Impacts of center and clinical factors in antihypertensive medication use after kidney transplantation

Abstract: Hypertension guidelines recommend calcium channel blockers (CCBs), thiazide diuretics, and angiotensin‐converting‐enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers (ACEi/ARBs) as first‐line agents to treat hypertension. Hypertension is common among kidney transplant (KTx) recipients, but data are limited regarding patterns of antihypertensive medication (AHM) use in this population. We examined a novel database that links national registry data for adult KTx recipients (age > 18 years) with AHM fill records from… Show more

“…Pharmacy fill data inherently lack information on medication indication, but have been extensively used for pharmacoepidemiology studies in the KTx and living donor populations. [28][29][30][31][32] Patterns were robust in sensitivity analysis of patients with pretransplant diabetes.…”

“…First, because our analyses were limited to claims data, we could not assess other medical information such as glycemic control, history of urinary tract infection, and functional status, which might affect the decision‐making and treatment goals. Pharmacy fill data inherently lack information on medication indication, but have been extensively used for pharmacoepidemiology studies in the KTx and living donor populations 28–32 . Patterns were robust in sensitivity analysis of patients with pretransplant diabetes.…”
