Stroke and Systemic Thromboembolism according to CHA < sub > 2 < /sub > DS < sub > 2 < /sub > -VASc Score in Contemporary Korean Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
CONCLUSION: Contemporary AF patients have a stroke rate about one-fifth that in OAC-naïve AF patients and exhibit different stroke risk factors.STUDY REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02786095).PMID:35352882 | PMC:PMC8965433 | DOI:10.3349/ymj.2022.63.4.317

Long-term stroke and major bleeding risk in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation: A comparative analysis between non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants and warfarin using a clinical data warehouse
ConclusionsIn this CDW based study, NOACs are more effective and safer than warfarin in patients with AF even with long-term follow-up. NOACs should be used to prevent ischemic stroke in patients with AF

Age Threshold for Increased Stroke Risk Among Patients With Atrial Fibrillation A Nationwide Cohort Study From Taiwan
This study hypothesized that the age threshold (65 years) used in the CHA2DS2-VASc system for initiating oral anticoagulants (OACs) might be lower in Taiwanese AF patients than in non-Asians.MethodsWe used the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan to study 186,570 nonanticoagulated AF patients. There were 9,416 males with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 0 and 6,390 females with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 1. Their risk of ischemic stroke was analyzed with stratification on the basis of age.ResultsThe annual risks of ischemic stroke for males (score 0) and females (score 1) were 1.15% and 1.12%, respectively, and contin...

Elucidating the Association Between Depressive Symptoms, Coronary Heart Disease, and Stroke in Black and White Adults: The REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) Study Epidemiology
Conclusions Proximal depressive symptoms were associated with incident fatal and nonfatal stroke and CVD death even after controlling for multiple explanatory factors, further supporting the urgent need for timely management of depressive symptoms.

Comparison of Stroke- and Bleed-related Healthcare Resource Utilization and Costs among Patients with Newly Diagnosed Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation and Newly Treated with Dabigatran, Rivaroxaban, or Warfarin.
CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that dabigatran patients had lower bleed-related HCRU and lower bleed-related PPPM costs than rivaroxaban patients, and lower outpatient stroke-related HCRU, higher bleed-related outpatient HCRU, and lower bleed-related PPPM costs than warfarin patients. It provides valuable stroke-related and bleed-related HCRU and costs information among commercially-insured and Medicare patients. PMID: 30251553 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cost Effectiveness of Rivaroxaban for Stroke Prevention in German Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
Conclusions Our results showed that the substantially higher medication costs of rivaroxaban were offset by mitigating the shortcomings of warfarin, most notably frequent dose regulation and bleeding risk. Future health economic studies on novel oral anticoagulants should evaluate the cost effectiveness for secondary stroke prevention and, as clinical data from direct head-to-head comparisons become available, new anticoagulation therapies should be compared against each other.

Baseline characteristics in stroke patients with atrial fibrillation: clinical trials versus clinical practice
Conclusions: The majority of stroke patients with AF in the clinical setting are considerably older than those included in clinical trials. While the distribution of vascular risk factors in clinical trials corresponds to proportions observed in clinical practice, an overrepresentation of the male sex in clinical trials is evident.
