Using the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan, the authors identified 1136 patients taking fixed-dose combination and 4544 patients taking free combinations of an angiotensin II receptor blocker and a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker from January 2009 to December 2012. At a mean follow-up of 2.1 years, the fixed-dose combination was associated with improved medication adherence and persistence and better survival free from major adverse cardiac events and hospitalization for heart failure compared with the free combination regimens.
作者利用台湾地区国民健康保险研究数据库,识别出2009年1月至2012年12月期间服用血管紧张素II受体阻滞剂和二氢吡啶类钙通道阻滞剂固定剂量复方制剂的1136例患者以及服用自由联合制剂的4544例患者。在平均2.1年的随访期内,与自由联合治疗方案相比,固定剂量复方制剂与更好的用药依从性和持续性相关,且无重大不良心脏事件和因心力衰竭住院的生存期更长。
