Comparison of Stroke- and Bleed-related Healthcare Resource Utilization and Costs among Patients with Newly Diagnosed Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation and Newly Treated with Dabigatran, Rivaroxaban, or Warfarin.

CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that dabigatran patients had lower bleed-related HCRU and lower bleed-related PPPM costs than rivaroxaban patients, and lower outpatient stroke-related HCRU, higher bleed-related outpatient HCRU, and lower bleed-related PPPM costs than warfarin patients. It provides valuable stroke-related and bleed-related HCRU and costs information among commercially-insured and Medicare patients. PMID: 30251553 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
