    Description

    Data on angioedema risk among sacubitril-valsartan (SV) users in real-world settings are limited. We sought to evaluate the risk of angioedema among SV new users compared with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and angiotensin-receptor-blocker (ARB) new users separately.

    We conducted a propensity score–matched cohort study, comparing SV new users (no use of SV, ACE inhibitor, ARB 6 months before) and SV new users with prior use (within 183 or 14 days) of ACE inhibitor or ARB (ACE inhibitor–SV and ARB-SV users; recent ACE inhibitor–SV and recent ARB-SV users, respectively) vs ACE inhibitor and ARB new users separately.
