Abstract 237: Anticoagulant Use For the Prevention of Stroke in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: Findings From a Multi-Payer Analysis Poster Session II
Conclusions: Many AF patients in selected commercial, Medicare-eligible, and Medicaid populations, including those at high risk of stroke, do not receive appropriate thromboprophylaxis, as recommended by treatment guidelines. Increased use of the analyzer and similar software may support enhanced education efforts aimed at improving adherence to guidelines and quality of care.
