CO33 Methodological Challenges and Considerations for Decision Makers When Assessing within-Class Comparative Effectiveness and Cost-Effectiveness: The Case of Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants
The United Kingdom National Institute of Health Care Excellence (NICE) published a draft clinical guideline for consultation on anticoagulation therapy for stroke prevention in individuals with atrial fibrillation in September 2020 that addressed which non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant (NOAC) therapy (apixaban, dabigatran, rivaroxaban, edoxaban) is most clinically and cost-effective. We aimed to elucidate methodological considerations and challenges involved in evaluating the comparative effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of within-class treatments for the  purpose of decision making by a reimbursement authority.

The management of anticoagulants in patients with atrial fibrillation and history of falls or risk of falls: protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis
DiscussionThis review will be the first to summarize direct and indirect evidence on the safety and efficacy of anticoagulant treatments in atrial fibrillation patients at risk of falls or with a history of falls. The findings will be important to patients, clinicians, and health policy-makers to inform best practices in the use of these treatments.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO registry number:CRD42020201086

The prevalence of atrial fibrillation in Greenland: a register-based cross-sectional study based on disease classifications and prescriptions of oral anticoagulants
This study estimates the prevalence of AF based on disease classifications in the electronic medical record system (EMR) and prescriptions of oral anticoagulants (OACs). Patients given a diagnose classification code for AF or atrial flutter or prescribed the vitamin K antagonist Warfarin or the direct-acting oral anticoagulant Rivaroxaban were identified in the EMR. Descriptive data and selected laboratory values were extracted, and a minimum CHA2DS2-VASc score was calculated for the 790 patients identified in the EMR (66% men). A total prevalence of AF of 1.4% was found in the general population (1.8% among men and 1.0% a...

Independent and Combined Effects of Calcium and Vitamin D Supplementation on Blood Lipids in Overweight or Obese Premenopausal Women: A Triple ‑Blind Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Conclusions: Although the results were not significantly different among the four treated groups at 8 weeks, within ‑group changes like the reduction in triglyceride and LDL levels, respectively in the Ca group and Ca + Vit D group, and HDL levels in both the Ca and Ca + Vit D groups were significant. These changes may have potentially significant public health implications.

Direct oral anticoagulants in treatment of cerebral venous thrombosis: a systematic review protocol
DiscussionCurrent guidelines in the treatment of cerebral vein thrombosis dating back to 2011 from the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association endorse the utility of anticoagulation for the treatment of cerebral vein thrombosis; however, they did not support the use of direct oral anticoagulants. Updated guidelines from the European Stroke Organization, endorsed by the European Academy of Neurology in 2017, also refute utilization of direct oral anticoagulants due to a lack of evidence. There have been nearly 10  years of experience with direct oral anticoagulants in the treatment of venous thrombosis and ...

Eating habits in the population of the Aeolian Islands: an observational study.
CONCLUSIONS: Study findings show the eating habits and health status of the Aeolian people in an interesting setting of low incidence of cerebrovascular disease. This nutrition regimen has been proved to be protective against cerebrovascular disease. Nutrition is likely to contribute to the low incidence of stroke in this population.

Perceived Advantages and Disadvantages of Oral Anticoagulants, and the Trade-offs Patients Make in Choosing Anticoagulant Therapy and Adhering to Their Drug Regimen
Oral anticoagulant therapy (OAT) is proven to be highly effective for stroke prevention in patients suffering from atrial fibrillation (AF) [1,2]. Vitamin K antagonists (VKAs), particularly warfarin, which is the most commonly used VKA, have long been the standard of care to prevent AF-related stroke [3]. However, in recent years the European Medicines Agency has approved a number of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) as (possible) alternatives to VKAs. The perceived benefits of DOACs include their high efficacy and low risk of bleeding, the rapid onset/offset of action, fewer food and drug interactions, and predictable ph...

Cost-Effectiveness of Apixaban In Prevention of Stroke And Systemic Embolism In The Czech Republic
Apixaban is an oral anticoagulant, direct factor Xa inhibitor. The aim of the analysis was to compare costs and effectiveness of apixaban in the first line prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in vitamin K antagonist (VKA) suitable patients with atrial fibrillation. The analysis was conducted from the perspective of the public healthcare payer in the Czech Republic.
