Gaps in translation from trials to practice: Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation.
The objectives of this review are to 1) identify gaps in our current knowledge regarding use of these single target anticoagulant drugs; 2) outline the potential implications of these gaps for clinical practice, and thereby, 3) highlight areas of research to further optimise their use for stroke prevention in AF.

Non-Vitamin K Oral Anticoagulants (NOACs) for stroke prevention in Asian patients with atrial fibrillation: Time for a reappraisal
Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants (NOACs) have changed the landscape for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF). Given the huge burden of AF in Asians, more attention to stroke prevention is clearly needed. Aiming to provide an overview and reappraisal of stroke prevention in Asians with AF, we searched MEDLINE for information on NOACs in Asians. In addition, abstracts from national and international cardiovascular meetings were studied to identify unpublished studies.In the 4 recent Phase 3 trials comparing NOACs to warfarin, a consistent pattern is evident.

Safety and efficacy of non-vitamin K oral anticoagulant treatment compared with warfarin in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation who develop acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack: a multicenter prospective cohort study (daVinci study)
Abstract The safety and efficacy of non-vitamin K oral anticoagulant (NOAC) compared with warfarin in treating patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) who developed acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (AIS/TIA), particularly those receiving tissue-plasminogen activator (tPA) therapy, remains unclear. Between April 2012 and December 2014, we conducted a multicenter prospective cohort study to assess the current clinical practice for treating such patients. We divided the patients into two groups according to the administration of oral anticoagulants (warfarin or NOACs) and tPA therapy. ...

What do the guidelines suggest for non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant use for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation?
This article provides an overview of the current international guidelines with regard to NOAC use and highlights key areas by which emerging evidence may change the management of stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular AF.

CHADS2 risk score and rate of stroke or systemic embolism and major bleeding in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation receiving non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants.
Authors: VAN Mieghem W, Lancellotti P Abstract Randomized trials showed non-inferior or superior results of the non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) compared with warfarin in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). Despite the absence of direct head-to-head comparisons between the different NOACs, certain molecules have been proposed for subgroups of patients based mainly on the perception of different bleeding risks. The CHADS2 score has been uniformly used in the inclusion criteria of these studies and shared similar risk factors as the haemorrhagic risk score HAS-BLED. The aim of the...

Pharmacological stroke prevention in the elderly with atrial fibrillation in Poland – Results of PolSenior study
Conclusions The study was unique to determine the frequency of pharmacological stroke prevention among elderly people with AF in Poland. It occurred that oral anticoagulant drugs were applied too rarely in this group of patients. Educational programs should be developed among general practitioners concerning current recommendations for patients with AF.

Standard and reduced doses of dabigatran, rivaroxaban, and apixaban for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation: a nationwide cohort study
ConclusionsStandard and reduced dose NOACs, respectively, showed no significant risk difference for associated stroke/thromboembolism. Rivaroxaban was associated with higher bleeding risk compared with dabigatran and apixaban, and dabigatran was associated with lower intracranial bleeding risk compared with rivaroxaban and apixaban.This article is protected by copyright.

DVT Prevention in Stroke
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThe purpose of this review is to discuss the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in stroke patients. We discuss use of oral anticoagulation and other interventions for the prevention of VTE. A new class of medications, non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs), have been successfully trialed for the prevention of VTE. We review the data and guidance statements for VTE prevention.Recent FindingsWarfarin and vitamin K antagonist drugs have been the mainstay of VTE prevention for decades. More recently, NOACs have become available for both stroke and systemic embolism prevention in n...

Challenges in comparing the non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants for atrial fibrillation-related stroke prevention
AbstractThe aim of this review is to provide context for meta-analyses interpreting data from phase III stroke prevention studies of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). Differences between the four phase III NOAC stroke prevention studies in patients with NVAF (ROCKET AF, ARISTOTLE, RE-LY, and ENGAGE AF), their potential impact on outcomes, and inter-study differences were evaluated, as well as the potential role of real-world evidence in evaluating NOACs in this setting. Study design differences included blinding strategy, dose-reduction options, a...
