Abstract 159: Evaluation of Clinical Outcomes among Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation Patients Treated With Warfarin or Rivaroxaban Stratified by Presence or Absence of CKD in a Claims Database [Session Title: Poster Session II]

Conclusions: This study suggests that, in an adult population with NVAF, rivaroxaban-treated patients had fewer ischemic strokes across all patients, including patients with renal impairment. Rivaroxaban-treated patients also had significantly better outcomes for the composite (VTE, MI, or stroke) measure across all groups. Bleeding rates were comparable across all groups.
