Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators aim to emulate a target trial to compare the risk of acute decompensated heart failure in users of methylprednisolone compared to prednisolone. The exposure is prescriptions of methylprednisolone or prednisolone tablets and the primary outcome is heart failure hospitalizations within the following 6 months, i.e. acute contacts with secondary or tertiary health care resulting in a primary diagnosis of heart failure. Secondary outcomes include broader heart failure diagnoses and the initiation of loop diuretics. Data preparation includes an initial observation period of 2 years, inclusion criteria such as age, corticosteroid formulation types / dosages and prescription codes, as well as removal of duplicate prescriptions and measures to reduce potential carry-over effects.
