A Novel Atrial Fibrillation Evaluation Modelling Solution For NHS

Approximately every fifth stroke in UK is due to AF and costs the UK National Health Service are between $12,000 and $17,500 per stroke. The aim of this study was to undertake a retrospective health economic analysis of the cost-effectiveness and implications related to opportunistic Atrial Fibrillation (AF) screening in primary care and the detection of previously undiagnosed AF cases in patients, and create a novel modelling solution that can empower individual users and organisations in England, Wales and Northern Ireland in their decision making, technology assessment, comparison of various anticoagulation d rug groups cost effectiveness decisions
