High rates of oral anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation patients observed in a large multi-specialty health system in the Northeast
ConclusionsWe show dramatically increased OAC usage among patients with AF and that NOACs comprise the large majority of OACs compared with previous studies. This suggests an association between widespread adoption of NOACs and increased oral anticoagulation rates. Future directions include assessing barriers to oral anticoagulation and developing interventions to reduce disparity in OAC use between clinics.
