Changes in Oral Anticoagulant Prescribing for Stroke Prevention in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

This study aimed to compare anticoagulation practice in Australia during the pre- and post-direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) eras. Between January 2011 and July 2015, patients with non-valvular AF (NVAF) admitted to the Royal Hobart Hospital, Tasmania, Australia, were retrospectively reviewed. The pre- and post-DOAC era cohorts included admissions from January 2011 to July 2013 and August 2013 to July 2015, respectively.
