Selecting the right anticoagulant for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation
CONCLUSIONS: Non-valvular AF patients on apixaban had lower rates of thromboembolic events than the patients on acenocumarol. This article will serve as a reminder of the positive health and financial outcomes of apixaban use, especially to those healthcare systems that are still oblivious to the decrease in economic burden and gain in quality-adjusted life years (QALY) by the long-term use of NOACS/ DOACS instead of the AVK anticoagulants.PMID:34286492 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202107_26241
