Groups and cohorts

  • Eplerenone

    Patients with CHF receiving Selara (eplerenone)

    Drug: Eplerenone

Interventions

  • In adults, usually, administer the initial dose of 25 mg once daily according to the patient's serum potassium level and conditions, increase dosage up to 50 mg once daily after 4 week; patients with moderate renal impairment should start with 25 mg every other day and the maximum dosage should be 25 mg once daily. Also, dose should be reduced or interrupted according to serum potassium level and patient's conditions.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Drug Reactions in Chronic Heart Failure Participants With Moderate Renal Impairment

    An adverse drug reaction (ADR) was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to Selara in a chronic heart failure participant with moderate renal impairment (≥30 mL/min and \<50 mL/min in eCLCr) who received Selara. A serious ADR was an ADR resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Relatedness to Selara was assessed by the physician.

    Time frame: 52 weeks from the start date

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Drug Reactions in Chronic Heart Failure Participants

    An adverse drug reaction (ADR) was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to Selara in a chronic heart failure participant who received Selara. A serious ADR was an ADR resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Relatedness to Selara was assessed by the physician.

    Time frame: 52 weeks from the start date

  2. The Number of Deaths (Overall Deaths)

    Overall deaths were described with the number of deaths from any cause at the time of 52 weeks after the start of administration, regardless of the treatment status (completed or discontinued).

    Time frame: 52 weeks from the start date

  3. The Number of Deaths (Cardiovascular Deaths)

    Cardiovascular deaths were described with the number of deaths defined as any death due to cardiac failure, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia (atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, arrhythmia supraventricular, or ventricular arrhythmia), stroke or cerebrovascular attack, and other causes related to cardiovascular system at the time of 52 weeks after the start of administration, regardless of the treatment status (completed or discontinued).

    Time frame: 52 weeks from the start date

  4. The Overall Mortality Rate

    The overall mortality rate was calculated by the incidence of all-cause death per observation time based on the person-year method (the number of deaths in 100 person-year).

    Time frame: 52 weeks from the start date

  5. The Cardiovascular-related Mortality Rate

    The cardiovascular-related mortality rate was calculated by the incidence of cardiovascular-related death per observation time based on the person-year method (the number of deaths in 100 person-year). Cardiovascular deaths were defined as any death due to cardiac failure, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia (atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, arrhythmia supraventricular, or ventricular arrhythmia), stroke or cerebrovascular attack, and other causes related to cardiovascular system at the time of 52 weeks after the start of administration, regardless of the treatment status (completed or discontinued).
