In AF, the effects of DOACs vs. warfarin on death and stroke/systemic embolism vary by baseline CrCl level

Quest for the Perfect Anticoagulant
The current referenced meta-analysis study by Selvaraj et al1 examines the relative merits of anticoagulation with a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) versus vitamin K antagonist (VKA) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients meeting the indications for anticoagulation because of atrial fibrillation (AF). Although guidelines vary, the general consensus appears to indicate noninferiority to superiority of DOACs in the treatment of nonvalvular AF. In the landmark Apixiban for Reduction In Stroke and Other Thromboemoblic Events in Atrial Fibrillation trial comparing apixaban to warfarin in patients with...

High rates of oral anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation patients observed in a large multi-specialty health system in the Northeast
ConclusionsWe show dramatically increased OAC usage among patients with AF and that NOACs comprise the large majority of OACs compared with previous studies. This suggests an association between widespread adoption of NOACs and increased oral anticoagulation rates. Future directions include assessing barriers to oral anticoagulation and developing interventions to reduce disparity in OAC use between clinics.

Effectiveness and safety of direct oral anticoagulants versus warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation and advanced kidney disease
ConclusionAmong patients with AF and AKD, DOACs were linked to a lower risk of ischemic events, and apixaban was linked to a lower risk of any ischemia and any bleeding than warfarin.

Ischemic Stroke Management: Posthospitalization and Transition of Care
Am Fam Physician. 2023 Jul;108(1):70-77.ABSTRACTIschemic stroke is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack exist on a continuum of the same disease process. Ischemic stroke is common, and more than 85% of stroke risk is attributed to modifiable risk factors. The initial management of acute stroke is usually performed in the emergency department and hospital settings. Family physicians have a key role in follow-up, ensuring that a complete diagnostic evaluation has been performed, addressing modifiable risk factors, facilitating rehabilitation, and managing chronic s...

Effect of INR on Outcomes of Endovascular Treatment for Acute Vertebrobasilar Artery Occlusion
This study aimed to analyze the effects of international normalized ratio (INR) indicators on outcomes in patients with acute VBAO treated with EVT. Dynamic data on INR in patients with VBAO who received endovascular treatment (EVT) at 65 stroke centers in China were retrospectively enrolled. Outcome measures included the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 90 days and 1 year and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH). The associations between elevated INR (INR > 1.1), INR variability (time-weighted variance of INR changes), and various clinical outcomes were analyzed in all patients and subgroups stratifie...
