PG - 1187-1193 LID - 10.1111/bcp.14488 [doi] AB - AIM: Data on cardiovascular outcomes in elderly using proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are scant. We aimed to test the association between PPI use and the occurrence of first-time ischemic stroke (FTIS) among elderly. METHODS: The electronic database of a centrally located district branch of a large health maintenance organization in Israel was retrospectively screened (2002-2016) for community-dwelling individuals (>/=65-95 years) for demographics and co-morbidities. Follow-up was until FTIS, death or end of study. Findings were analyzed by PPI use and occurrence of FTIS. RESULTS: 29,639 subjects (without history of stroke and use of antiplatelet aggregation drugs) mean age of 82.2 +/- 5.5 years (range: 65-95 years, 38% male) were analyzed: 8,600 (29%) used PPIs. Mean follow up was 10.58 years (SD +/- 5.44). Similar total and annual occurrence rates of FTIS were depicted in PPI users and non-users (20.9% vs. 21% and 2% vs. 2.1%, respectively). On a Cox regression analysis, upon adjustment for age, gender and cardiovascular disease related risk factors, PPI use was significantly associated with lower rates of FTIS (HR 0.73, 95% C.I. 0.69-0.77, p < 0.001). The risk for FTIS was significantly lower in subjects using PPI at any dose and for any time period compared to non-users (HR 0.9, 95% C.I. 0.85-0.96 for 7-48 yearly prescriptions and HR 0.51, 95% C.I. 0.46-0.55 for >/=49 yearly prescriptions). CONCLUSIONS: PPI use was associated with lower rates of FTIS in community-dwelling elders. Prospective large-scale studies are needed to fully elucidate the effect of PPI in this aging population.
