Abstract 160: Impact of Medication Adherence on Risk of Stroke, Major Bleeding and Other Outcomes in Atrial Fibrillation Patients Using Novel Oral Anticoagulants (Dabigatran and Rivaroxaban) [Session Title: Poster Session II]

Conclusion: In our sample, adherence to NOACs was associated with a reduction in stroke and DVTPE risk but did not substantially increase bleeding risk. Further studies with newer NOACs are warranted.
