Impact of prescription patterns of antithrombotic treatment on atrial fibrillation-related ischemic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: The prescription of oral anticoagulants, particularly direct oral anticoagulants, has increased from 2013 to 2019 in our Health Assistance Area. This increase might partially explain the reduction in AF-related IS. PMID: 33326304 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Real-life behaviour of direct oral anticoagulants in a Spanish cohort with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: Refase Registry.
CONCLUSION: Our results of safety and efficacy are very similar to those of other previously published national registries. There were no differences among the different types of DOAC regarding outcomes. However, it was found that people taking the adjusted dose of the drug seemed to have a higher risk of death. A non-negligible proportion of patients received DOAC doses inconsistent with labelling (mostly underdose). PMID: 31335222 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Effectiveness and safety of rivaroxaban in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: data from a contemporary Spanish registry.
CONCLUSIONS: In this contemporary Spanish cohort of NVAF patients on rivaroxaban, patients had many comorbidities, a high thromboembolic risk and a moderate bleeding risk. Overall, rates of stroke and bleeding complications were low and similar to other previous studies. These data suggest that rivaroxaban is effective and safe in routine practice.

Strategies for improving dabigatran adherence for stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation: education and drug intake reminders (FACILITA study).
CONCLUSIONS: A mixed intervention, consisting of patient education and a simple calendar reminder of drug intake, is an effective strategy to improve dabigatran therapeutic adherence in patients with NVAF. The percentage of adherence with dabigatran was high. PMID: 29384410 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
