Item Dabigatran for Stroke Prevention in Real Life in a Sample of Population from Turkey: D-SPIRIT Registry(2021) Altin, Cihan; 34881702Objective: The D-SPIRIT registry is designed to investigate the safety and effectiveness of dabigatran etexilate in patients with atrial fibrillation in routine clinical practice. Methods: D-SPIRIT is the first national, multicenter, prospective, observational, postmarketing registry that investigates the usage of dabigatran in real life. A total of 326 noveloral anticoagulant-eligible patients with atrial fibrillation who have been taking dabigatran etexilate therapy for stroke prevention at least 6 months from 9 different centers were enrolled into the registry. Patients were followed up for 2 years to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the treatment. All adverse clinical events including bleeding, thromboembolic events, stroke, systemic embolism, transient ischemic attack, myocardial infarction, and all-cause death were recorded. Results: The mean age was 71.1 +/- 9.6 years, and 57.4% of the study participants were female. The mean CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age >= 75 years, diabetes mellitus, stroke or transient ischemic attack [TIA], vascular disease, age 65-74 years, sex category) score was 3.4 +/- 1.6. The cumulative adverse clinical events rate was 6.30% per year. The rate for embolic events including TIA, ischemic stroke, and peripheral embolism was 1.26% per year. The rate for major bleeding was 2.20% per year, and the mortality rate was 0.94% per year. Conclusion: This registry obtained an important overview of the current safety and effectiveness of the dabigatran etexilate in Turkey. Our results indicate similar rates of thromboembolic and bleeding events with pivotal phase 3 trial and other real-life registries. However, rate of undertreatment usage of dabigatran etexilate in real life was found to be considerable.Item Design and rationale of dabigatran's stroke prevention in real life in Turkey (D-SPIRIT)(2016) Turk, Ugur Onsel; Alioglu, Emin; Tuncer, Esref; Ozpelit, Mehmet Emre; Pekel, Nihat; Tengiz, Istemihan; Cetin, Nurullah; Dalgic, Onur; Topaloglu, Caner; Bilgin, Nazile; Altin, Cihan; Ozdemirkiran, Tolga; Tuluce, Kamil; Turkoglu, Ebru Ipek; Ozpelit, Ebru; 27138311Objective: The D-SPIRIT registry is designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of dabigatran etexilate in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and to collect data on outcomes in clinical practice. Methods: The D-SPIRIT is a national, prospective, observational, post-marketing registry involving patients with NVAF who have been taking dabigatran etexilate therapy for stroke prevention for a minimum of 6 months prior to enrollment. The registry will collect and analyze data from routine care, enrolling up to 600 patients in 9 centers. Patients will be followed up for 2 years to evaluate effectiveness and safety. A sample size of 600 subjects is proposed based on the following assumptions; Two-sided significance level of 0.05 (1-sided significance level of 0.025), ischemic stroke incidence rate of 0.768%-1.111%, hemorrhagic stroke incidence rate of 0.109%-0.130%, transient ischemic attack incidence rate of 0.722%-0.623%, therapy discontinuation incidence rate of 40% at day 730, and duration of enrollment period of 12 months with non-uniformed enrollment rate. Ethics approval was given by Dokuz Eyll University Ethics Committee of Clinical Research (2014/54) and approved by the Turkish Ministry of Health. Conclusion: Potential results of D-SPIRIT registry will add data from clinical practice to those from the RE-LY trial to expand knowledge of dabigatran etexilate treatment in patients with NVAF.
