To evaluate the patterns of use and the risk of thromboembolic events (TEE) associated with Erythropoietin Stimulating Agents (ESAs) in older patients with metastatic breast cancer receiving chemotherapy. Retrospective study using the SEER-Medicare linked database. Stage IV breast cancer patients diagnosed from 1995–2005, treated with chemotherapy, ≥66 years old, with full coverage of Medicare A and B were included. ICD-9 and HCPCS codes were used to identify the use of ESAs, chemotherapy, and complications of therapy. Analyses included descriptive statistics and logistic regression. 2,266 women were included, 980 (43.3%) received ESAs and 1,286 (56.7%) did not. Patients diagnosed after 1999 or who received treatment with taxanes, anthracyclines or vinorelbine were more likely to receive ESAs. Patients receiving ESAs had higher rates of stroke (18.5% vs 15.1%, p=0.031); DVT (21.3% vs. 14.4%, p<0.001), other/unspecified TEE (19.8% vs 14.7%; p=0.001) and any clot (31.3% vs. 23.4%, p<0.0001). In multivariable analysis, patients receiving ESAs had increased risk for DVT (OR=1.36; 1.05–1.75), and any clot (OR=1.26; 1.02–1.57). A dose-dependent effect was evident for stroke, DVT, other TEE and any clot. In this cohort of patients, the use of ESAs increased the risk of TEEs, with a dose-dependent effect for stroke, DVT, other TEE and any clot. Our data shows that among patients treated with chemotherapy and ESAs for metastatic breast cancer, TEEs are a common event. Therefore caution is recommended when using these agents.
