Treatment patterns for oral anticoagulants in older patients with atrial fibrillation: a retrospective, cross-sectional, nationwide study from Denmark

Conclusion
In this large nationwide study, we found that in older patients with AF, the overall rates of OAC prescription were generally high (~80%) and increasing during the last decade. Factors associated with not receiving guideline recommended OAC treatment were generally related to bleeding risk factors or frailty.
