Direct Oral Anticoagulants and Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation: Compliance with Dose Level Guidelines in Patients Aged 80  Years and Over

ConclusionsAmong patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation aged 80 years and over, about 40% of DOAC prescriptions feature inappropriate dose levels. It might be possible to reduce inappropriate dosing by raising awareness among hospital-based and private-practice prescribers, providing prescription support tools for DOACs, and performing medication reconciliations and reviews at hospital and in private practice.
