Progression of stroke risk in patients aged & lt;65 years diagnosed with atrial fibrillation: a cohort study in general practice
CONCLUSION: People aged <65 years with AF are at higher risk of developing hypertension, heart failure, and diabetes than the general population, so may warrant regular review to identify new occurrence of such risk factors.PMID:37487643 | DOI:10.3399/BJGP.2022.0568

Two-year outcomes of UK patients newly diagnosed with atrial fibrillation: findings from the prospective observational cohort study GARFIELD-AF
CONCLUSION: The data support a benefit of anticoagulation in reducing stroke and death, without an increased risk of a major bleed in patients with new-onset AF. Anticoagulation treatment in patients at high risk of stroke who are not receiving anticoagulation may further improve outcomes.PMID:35577587 | DOI:10.3399/BJGP.2021.0548

Association between oral anticoagulants and COVID-19-related outcomes: a population-based cohort study
CONCLUSION: Among those at low baseline stroke risk, people receiving OACs had a lower risk of testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 and severe COVID-19 outcomes than non-users; this might be explained by a causal effect of OACs in preventing severe COVID-19 outcomes or unmeasured confounding, including more cautious behaviours leading to reduced infection risk.PMID:35440465 | DOI:10.3399/BJGP.2021.0689
