Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of the study is to retrospectively evaluate the impact of having switched from CIG to exclusive use of HTPs (hereafter, exclusive HTP use) on the time to first subsequent COPD-related hospitalization or all-cause mortality compared with continued smoking of CIG (hereafter, exclusive CIG smoking), dual use of CIG and HTP, and quitting of CIG (hereafter, former CIG smoking) among patients who experienced a COPD-related hospitalization (Index Event), after adjusting for sociodemographic and other risk factors.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

To compare the time from Index Event to a first subsequent COPD-related hospitalization or all-cause mortality between comparable groups of exclusive HTP users and exclusive CIG smokers.
-Index Event defined as a first COPD-related hospitalization between 1st May 2016 and 31st December 2022.
-The composite endpoint defined as (whichever comes first):
-First subsequent COPD-related hospitalization
-All-cause mortality

Key secondary outcomes

1.To compare the time from Index Event to all-cause mortality between comparable groups of i) exclusive HTP users versus exclusive CIG smokers, ii) exclusive HTP users versus former smokers, and iii) exclusive HTP users versus dual users of CIG and HTP.
Endpoint:
-All-cause mortality

2.To compare the time from Index Event to a first pneumonia-related hospitalization between comparable groups of i) exclusive HTP users versus exclusive CIG smokers, ii) exclusive HTP users versus former smokers, and iii) exclusive HTP users versus dual users of CIG and HTP.
Endpoint:
-Pneumonia-related hospitalization

3.To compare the number and rate of recurrent COPD-related hospitalizations and all-cause hospitalization per year accounting for death as competing risk from Index Event by comparable tobacco exposure groups (exclusive HTP users, dual users of HTP and CIG, and former smokers).
Endpoints:
-Rate and number of COPD-related hospitalizations for each year post-index during the entire observation period
-All-cause hospitalizations for each year post-index during the entire observation period

4.To compare the time from Index Event to the composite endpoint defined above (first subsequent COPD-related hospitalization or all-cause mortality) between comparable groups of i) exclusive HTP users versus former smokers and ii) exclusive HTP users versus dual users of CIG and HTP.
Endpoint:
Composite endpoint defined as (whichever comes first):
-First subsequent COPD-related hospitalization
-All-cause mortality

5.To evaluate whether the time from Index Event to a first subsequent COPD-related hospitalization or all-cause mortality for exclusive HTP users vs exclusive CIG smokers varies for exclusive HTP users by the number of years of switching (<1 year, 1-3 years, >3 years).
Endpoint:
Composite endpoint defined as (whichever comes first):
-First subsequent COPD-related hospitalization
-All-cause mortality

Key inclusion criteria

-Patients with any healthcare encounter records in the Tokushukai Medical Database
-Patients with a record of Index Event (first COPD-related hospitalization between the 1st of May 2016 and the 31st of December 2022)
-Age 40 year or older at the time of the Index Event

-Patients who have had five or more COPD-related hospitalizations in the 12 months prior to the Index Event
-Never smokers (this population was excluded because the prevalence of never smoking is extremely low among COPD patient population).
-Patients having any of the following diseases prior to the Index Event: bronchiectasis, active tuberculosis (defined as a tuberculosis diagnosis in the 12 months prior to Index Event), cystic fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary embolism, lung cancer.

Other related information

It is expected that there will be a difference in the time from Index Event to a first subsequent COPD-related hospitalization and all-cause mortality between smokers who switched to exclusive use of HTP and those that continued to smoke CIG exclusively. The findings on the time from Index Event to a first subsequent COPD-related hospitalization and all-cause mortality in exclusive HTP users compared to dual users of CIG and HTP and former smokers will also be reported. The results of the study will be released in the first quarter of 2026.
