Impact of Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants on the Change of Antithrombotic Regimens in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
CONCLUSION: Since the introduction of NOACs, the patterns of periprocedural antithrombotic regimens have changed rapidly toward more use of TAT, specifically with NOAC-based regimen. Appropriate stroke prevention with oral anticoagulants is still underutilized in patients with AF undergoing PCI in Korea.PMID:33764010 | DOI:10.4070/kcj.2020.0407

Examination of anticoagulation prescription among elderly patients with atrial fibrillation after in-hospital fall
AbstractMechanical fall is common among elders and has been associated with a lack of anticoagulant therapy among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, anticoagulant therapy is recommended despite frequent fall due to an increased risk of a thromboembolic event. Using data from a large health system, we investigated the predictors of anticoagulation prescription on discharge in AF elderly patients after an in-hospital fall.  In this retrospective analysis, we examined patients aged 60 years and older discharged from 2013 to 2018 with a diagnosis of AF and a secondary diagnosis of in-hospital fall. The primary o...

Vitamin-K-antagonist phenprocoumon versus direct oral anticoagulants in patients with atrial fibrillation: a real-world analysis of German claims data
Conclusions The small superiority or non-inferiority of DOACs over warfarin seen in the RCTs might not translate into relevant advantages of DOACs over phenprocoumon. To confirm the hypothesis, an RCT with phenprocoumon is needed. Next to the safety and effectiveness assessments other factors might also play a substantial role in the decision on the right OAC for stroke prevention.
