Review the detаiled descriptiоn оf the study prоvided below. Which of the following best describes the risk of biаs in this study? Select one correct аnswer. A research team conducted a case-control study to assess the association between cardiovascular disease and the use of inhaled long-acting β2-agonists (LABAs) or long-acting antimuscarinic antagonists (LAMAs) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The team used data retrieved from the country’s national health insurance research database with health care claims from 2007 to 2011. Cases (n=37,719) were patients who had inpatient or emergency care visits for coronary artery disease, heart failure, ischemic stroke, or arrhythmia (CVD events). Controls (N=37,719) were matched to the cases by visits to the same inpatient or emergency care settings for any CVD events. Matched cases and controls had similar disease risk scores for the cardiovascular outcomes of interest, calculated based on the patients’ age, sex, and comorbid conditions. The exposure to LABA and LAMA use for both cases and controls in the year preceding the occurrence of the CVD event was measured and stratified into 4 groups, including current (30 days), recent (31-90 days), past (91-180 days), and remote (>180 days), categorized by duration since the initiation of LABA or LAMA. The analysis adjusted for concomitant COPD medications and chronic disease conditions such as hyperlipidemia that were significantly associated with the independent and dependent variables. New use of LABA occurred in 520 cases (1.4%) and 1,186 controls (0.8%), resulting in an adjusted odds ratio of 1.50 (95% CI, 1.35-1.67). New use of LAMA occurred in 190 cases (0.5%) and 463 controls (0.3%), resulting in an adjusted odds ratio of 1.52 (95% CI, 1.28-1.80). The authors concluded that the new use of LABAs or LAMAs is associated with a modest increase in cardiovascular risk in patients with COPD.
