Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulation agents in anticoagulant naive atrial fibrillation patients: Danish nationwide descriptive data 2011-2013
Conclusion Among oral anticoagulation-naïve AF patients initiated on oral anticoagulation in Denmark, warfarin initiation has declined since the introduction of dabigatran in August 2011. Dabigatran is the most frequently used alternative option to warfarin; however, use of rivaroxaban and apixaban is increasing. Patients initiated with rivaroxaban or apixaban in general have a higher predicted stroke and bleeding risks compared with warfarin or dabigatran initiators.
