Cardiovascular Events in Cancer Patients Receiving Highly Emetogenic or Moderately Emetogenic Chemotherapy
Patients were not recruited for nor enrolled in this study. This study is a retrospective
observational study. Data from medical records or insurance claims databases are anonymised
and used to develop a patient cohort. All diagnoses and treatment are recorded in the
course of routine medical practice.
Inclusion Criteria:

- At least one HEC or MEC claim in 2006
Exclusion Criteria:
- HEC or MEC claim three months before first HEC/MEC claim - "wash-in" period (i.e.
must be enrolled for three months prior to first HEC/MEC claim. For patients whose
first HEC/MEC event is between January 1,2006 and March 31, 2006, enrollment criteria
for inclusion in the study may extend as far back as October 1, 2005)
- HEC or MEC claims prior to 45 days after last HEC or MEC claim - "wash-out" period.
(For patients whose last claim in 2006 was seen after December 1, 2006 enrollment

required.)
