Study population text

In each jurisdiction, a base cohort will be assembled including all patients with a first-ever prescription for a non-insulin anti-diabetic drug. Base cohort entry is defined as the date of prescription or dispensation of the first-ever non-insulin anti-diabetic drug. From this base cohort, a study cohort will be formed consisting of all patients who initiated a new anti-diabetic drug class during the year in which incretin-based drugs entered the market in each jurisdiction or any time thereafter. Study cohort entry is defined by the prescription date of the newly-prescribed drug class.

Inclusion criteria

Patients with a first-ever prescription for a non-insulin anti-diabetic drug, including biguanides, sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones, DPP-4 inhibitors, GLP-1 analogs, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, meglitinides or combinations of these drugs from the earliest availability of data at each site to the last date of availability of data.
Patients with at least 1 year of history in the database.
Patients at least 18 years of age.

Exclusion criteria

Patients who died or left the cohort before the year the first incretin-based drug entered the market.
Patients who never added-on or switched to a new anti-diabetic drug after incretin-based drugs entered the market up until June 30, 2014.
Patients with a previous diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, those who underwent pancreatectomy or were diagnosed with congenital defects of the pancreas at any time prior to study cohort entry.
Patients with less than 365 days of follow-up after study cohort entry
