Increased Incident Ischemic Stroke Risk in Advanced Kidney Disease: A Large-Scale Real-World Data Study.

CONCLUSION: Although we found that OAC use was effective and recommended for patients with AF, advanced kidney disease is still an independent risk factor for IS/SE, even in patients taking OAC. Physicians should be aware of this risk and strictly control modifiable risk factors, regardless of OAC use.
