In their population based retrospective cohort study Hudson et al.(1) aimed to compare the risk of death and recurrent congestive heart failure (CHF) in patients over 65 years old with a history of CHF who were given one or more prescription for celecoxib, rofecoxib, or any non- selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). We were surprised that about one-third of patients in each study group used warfarin before the first prescription of a study drug. We consider this frequency to be extremely high in the light of compelling evidence that the combination of a NSAID and warfarin can dramatically increase bleeding risk. (2,3) A recent study even suggested that such a combination, coxibs not excluded, may be contraindicated.(4)
Our search of the literature revealed that the frequency of concomitant prescriptions of anticoagulants in NSAID users in the study of Hudson et al. is much higher than in other comparable observational studies (2, 5). For example, in a recent Canadian study concomitant prescriptions of coumarin anticoagulants were given only to 5% of NSAID users aged 65 years or older, a frequency that was similar to a cohort that did not use NSAIDs.(5) The reason for such a marked difference between the studies remains to be determined. Several plausible explanations include differences in the severity of heart disease and/or the quality of medication use reporting in the source databases. The availability of appropriate therapeutic guidelines and their implementation in clinical practice might also play an important role.
Taken together, these data underscore the need for an improvement of physicians’ awareness of this important drug interaction.
