Summary

A retrospective cohort study using the LabRx medical claims database will be performed to address these objectives. The primary objective of this project is to examine the background rates of liver function test (LFT) abnormalities in cancer patients treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Adult (age ≥18 years) with at least two ICD-9 codes for a particular cancer (ICD-9 code 140-208.9) within a 6 month timeframe and at least one code for a TKI drug that occurs on or after the first cancer diagnosis code
  • At least one month (30 days) of enrolment prior to index date and three months (91 days) of follow-up post index date; and
  • Continuous enrolment in the LabRx database during follow-up.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Less than 18 years old
  • Less than one month (30 days) of enrolment prior to index date or three months (91 days) of follow-up post index date; and
  • Not continuously enrolled in the LabRx database during follow-up.
