Use of Non-Vitamin  K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants Among Patients with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation and Multimorbidity
ConclusionsAmong patients with NVAF and six or more comorbid conditions, NOACs were associated with varying risk of stroke/SE and MB compared to warfarin and to each other. Rather than a “one drug fits all” approach, our results may be useful for appropriate OAC treatment for multimorbid patients.

Utilization of triple antithrombotic therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
ConclusionsThe utilization of TAT following PCI among high-stroke risk AF patients steadily increased from 2011 to 2020, reaching 65.4% by the end of the study period. However, in 2020, a significant proportion of 29.4% of patients still received DAPT, indicating that many AF patients undergoing PCI did not receive adequate antithrombotic therapy.
