An observational study in Death, Sudden, Cardiac, sponsored by Janssen Research & Development, LLC. Completed. Open to participants aged 2 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2015-05-19.
Sponsored by Janssen Research & Development, LLC (part of Johnson & Johnson) · Observational
The purpose of this observational study is to assess the risk of out-of-hospital Sudden Cardiac (heart) Death (SCD) associated with current use of domperidone compared to current use of a Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI), current use of metoclopramide, or non-use of any of these medications.
This is a population-based, retrospective (a study in which the exposures and outcomes occurred before the study began), and nested case-control study (a study in which the patients with the study outcome [cases] and comparison patients without that outcome [controls] are observed to assess their exposure to the medication being studied [domperidone, PPI's and metoclopramide]). The data will come from the United Kingdom's Clinical Practice Research Datalink. The study will estimate the rate of SCD during periods of exposure to each of the study medications, and during periods of exposure to none of them; and the ratios of these rates. It will also use a "case-crossover" analysis (in which each case serves as his/her own control) to re-estimate these rate ratios in a manner that takes account of personal characteristics such as obesity or smoking that may affect the study findings and are incompletely recorded in the database.

- Patients registered in English practices whose data are linkable to Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) and Office for National Statistics, UK (ONS). Patients are required to have at least 1 year in the Clinical Practice Research Datalink before they can enter the study
Exclusion criteria:
Study patients had at least one prescription for domperidone, a proton pump inhibitor, or metoclopramide. Proton pump inhibitors observed in this study are: omeprazole, lansoprazole, esomeprazole, rabeprazole, and pantoprazole.
Drug: No intervention
This is an observational and a retrospective study of existing data, so there will be no interventions. The exposure groups will be domperidone, proton pump inhibitors (omeprazole, lansoprazole, esomeprazole, rabeprazole, and pantoprazole), and metoclopramide.

Number of out-of-hospital sudden cardiac death (SCD) associated with the exposure to domperidone, proton pump inhibitor, metoclopramide, and none of these medications
This will be evaluated for the number of study participants (who had SCD) exposed to domperidone, proton pump inhibitor, metoclopramide, and none of these medications. SCD is defined as a natural death from an unexpected circulatory arrest, usually due to a cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat).
Time frame: 7 years
Number of out-of-hospital Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) in relation to domperidone exposure period and domperidone non-exposure period
This will be evaluated for the number of study participants who had SCD in relation to domperidone exposure period and domperidone non-exposure period. SCD is defined as a natural death from an unexpected circulatory arrest, usually due to a cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat). This will be analyzed by case-crossover method (self-matching design) which will be adjusted for personal characteristics that vary little over time in each individual. eg, for obesity.
