    • OBJECTIVES: Ascertain the extent of differences between men and women in dispensed drugs since there is a lack of comprehensive overviews on sex differences in the use of prescription drugs.DESIGN: Cross-sectional population database analysis.METHODS: Data on all dispensed drugs in 2010 to the entire Swedish population (9.3 million inhabitants) were obtained from the Swedish Prescribed Drug Register. All pharmacological groups with ambulatory care prescribing accounting for >75% of the total volume in Defined Daily Doses and a prevalence of >1% were included in the analysis. Crude and age-adjusted differences in prevalence and incidence were calculated as risk ratios (RRs) of women/men.RESULTS: In all, 2.8 million men (59%) and 3.6 million women (76%) were dispensed at least one prescribed drug during 2010. Women were dispensed more drugs in all age groups except among children under the age of 10. The largest sex difference in prevalence in absolute numbers was found for antibiotics that were more common in women, 265.5 patients (PAT)/1000 women and 191.3 PAT/1000 men, respectively. This was followed by thyroid therapy (65.7 PAT/1000 women and 13.1 PAT/1000 men) and antidepressants (106.6 PAT/1000 women and 55.4 PAT/1000 men). Age-adjusted relative sex differences in prevalence were found in 48 of the 50 identified pharmacological groups. The pharmacological groups with the largest relative differences of dispensed drugs were systemic antimycotics (RR 6.6 CI 6.4 to 6.7), drugs for osteoporosis (RR 4.9 CI 4.9 to 5.0) and thyroid therapy (RR 4.5 CI 4.4 to 4.5), which were dispensed to women to a higher degree. Antigout agents (RR 0.4 CI 0.4 to 0.4), psychostimulants (RR 0.6 CI 0.6 to 0.6) and ACE inhibitors (RR 0.7 CI 0.7 to 0.7) were dispensed to men to a larger proportion.CONCLUSIONS: Substantial differences in the prevalence and incidence of dispensed drugs were found between men and women. Some differences may be rational and desirable and related to differences between the sexes in the incidence or prevalence of disease or by biological differences. Other differences are more difficult to explain on medical grounds and may indicate unequal treatment.

  • Sex and Gender Differences in Thromboprophylactic Treatment of Patients With Atrial Fibrillation After the Introduction of Non-Vitamin K Oral Anticoagulants
  • 2017
  • Ingår i: American Journal of Cardiology. - : Elsevier. - 0002-9149 .- 1879-1913. ; 120:8, s. 1302-1308
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • To examine sex differences in thromboprophylaxis in patients with atrial fibrillation before and after the introduction of non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants, we performed a cross-sectional registry study based on anonymized individual-level patient data of all individuals with a diagnosis of nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision code I48) in the region of Stockholm, Sweden (2.2 million inhabitants), in 2011 and 2015, respectively. Thromboprophylaxis improved considerably during the period. During 2007 to 2011, 23,198 men and 18,504 women had an atrial fibrillation diagnosis. In 2011, more men than women (53% men vs 48% women) received oral anticoagulants (almost exclusively warfarin) and more women received aspirin only (35% women vs 30% men), whereas there was no sex difference for no thromboprophylaxis (17%). During 2011 to 2015, 27,237 men and 20,461 women had a diagnosis of atrial fibrillation. Compared with the earlier time period, a higher proportion used oral anticoagulants (71% women vs 70% men), but fewer women ≥80 years received anticoagulants (67% women vs 72% men), more women received aspirin (15% women vs 13% men), and fewer women had no thromboprophylaxis (15% women vs 17% men). Patients with co-morbidities potentially complicating oral anticoagulant use used more oral anticoagulant in 2015 compared with 2011. The sex differences observed in 2011 with fewer women using oral anticoagulants had disappeared in 2015 except in women 80 years and older and in patients with complicated co-morbidity.

  • Sex differences in spontaneous reports on adverse bleeding events of antithrombotic treatment
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology. - : Springer. - 0031-6970 .- 1432-1041. ; 70:1, s. 117-126
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • PURPOSE: To explore if sex differences are found in spontaneously reported adverse events for clopidogrel, low-dose aspirin and warfarin treatment in routine care.METHODS: A cross-sectional analysis combining data on bleeding events from the Swedish Spontaneous Adverse Drug Event Reporting System (SWEDIS) with data from the National Prescribed Drug register. Bleeding event reports from 1999 to 2010 and 2005 to 2010 were adjusted to the number of prescriptions and the number of exposed patients respectively among women and men. Co-medication and co-prescription were analysed.RESULTS: More men were dispensed clopidogrel although the reported bleeding event risk after adjustment for number of patients exposed was higher in women (RR 1.40; 95 % CI, 1.00-1.96). The difference disappeared when adjusting for the number of prescriptions (RR 0.99; 95 % CI, 0.71-1.39). The reported bleeding event risk with low-dose aspirin was lower in women, adjusted for patients exposed (RR 0.80; 95 % CI, 0.66-0.97). For warfarin, no sex difference in bleeding event reports could be found (RR 1.01; 95 % CI, 0.87-1.17).CONCLUSIONS: This ecological comparison of bleeding reports and dispensed prescriptions showed a signal towards a higher prevalence of bleeding reports in women on clopidogrel treatment while the opposite was found for low-dose aspirin. For warfarin, no significant sex difference was seen regarding bleeding event reports, suggesting individualised dosing being an important factor. Men were more commonly prescribed antithrombotic combinations, and this was reflected by a larger proportion of bleeding reports including more than one antithrombotic agent.
