Cardiovascular, Bleeding, and Mortality Risks of Dabigatran in Asians With Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— In real-world practice, dabigatran was associated with a reduced risk of ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, all hospitalized major bleeding, and all-cause mortality compared with warfarin in Asian patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. Dabigatran did not increase the risk of major gastrointestinal bleeding or myocardial infarction compared with warfarin.

Long-term effectiveness and safety of cilostazol versus clopidogrel in secondary prevention of noncardioembolic ischemic stroke
ConclusionsThis real-world study suggests that cilostazol is effective and safe for noncardioembolic ischemic stroke and may be associated with better effectiveness in hypertensive patients compared to clopidogrel.

Different impact of aspirin on renal progression in patients with predialysis advanced chronic kidney disease with or without previous stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: There was no significant benefit in preventing ischemic stroke in the patients with advanced CKD who received aspirin therapy. Furthermore, the use of aspirin was associated with the risk of renal failure in the patients with advanced CKD without previous stroke. PMID: 27884500 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Underutilization of warfarin for stroke prophylaxis in patients with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter in Korea.
CONCLUSIONS: A high portion of AF/AFL patients with CHADS2 score ≥2 were undertreated with warfarin. As ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of death in Korea, a more aggressive approach to prevent stroke in patients with AF/AFL is required. PMID: 26242197 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Age-dependent anticoagulant therapy for atrial fibrillation patients with intermediate risk of ischemic stroke: A nationwide population-based study.
CONCLUSIONS: Age is an important determinant of ischemic stroke and composite outcome in intermediate-risk AF patients. The benefit of OAC therapy for these AF patients appears to have an age threshold (age ≥ 55 years). PMID: 33307565 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Long-term stroke and major bleeding risk in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation: A comparative analysis between non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants and warfarin using a clinical data warehouse
ConclusionsIn this CDW based study, NOACs are more effective and safer than warfarin in patients with AF even with long-term follow-up. NOACs should be used to prevent ischemic stroke in patients with AF

Propensity Score Matched Analysis of Mechanical vs. Bioprosthetic Valve Replacement in Patients With Previous Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with previous stroke, bioprosthetic valves had a lower incidence of complications connected to major bleeding than did the mechanical valves. Survival and stroke recurrence rates, however, did not differ between the 2 groups. We recommend bioprosthetic valves for patients >60 years or who have a history of GI bleeding.

Cost Effectiveness of Rivaroxaban for Stroke Prevention in German Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
Conclusions Our results showed that the substantially higher medication costs of rivaroxaban were offset by mitigating the shortcomings of warfarin, most notably frequent dose regulation and bleeding risk. Future health economic studies on novel oral anticoagulants should evaluate the cost effectiveness for secondary stroke prevention and, as clinical data from direct head-to-head comparisons become available, new anticoagulation therapies should be compared against each other.

Cost-Effectiveness of Rivaroxaban Compared to Warfarin for Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients who had been treated with rivaroxaban may be a cost-effective alternative to warfarin for stroke prevention in Korean patients with AF. PMID: 30468041 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Prevalence and Associated Stroke Risk of Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Patients With Atrial Fibrillation 　- A Nationwide Cohort Study.
CONCLUSIONS: The risks of ischemic stroke/SE and major bleeding were significantly higher in HIV-infected patients compared with non-HIV-infected patients with AF. Despite this, the actual use of OACs among AF patients with HIV was suboptimal. PMID: 31619594 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Evaluating the Primary Prevention of Ischemic Stroke of Oral Antithrombotic Therapy in Head and Neck Cancer Patients with Radiation Therapy.
Abstract Although previous studies demonstrated the risk of ischemic stroke (IS) in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC), the impact of oral antithrombotic therapy (OAT) on this risk has not yet been assessed. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of OAT in patients with HNC treated with RT. This retrospective cohort study was performed using the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan. A total of 37,638 patients diagnosed with HNC included in the study were classified as users and nonusers of OAT. Primary outcome was IS or transient ischemic attack (TIA), and secondary outcomes were ...

Low Persistence of Antithrombotic Agents is Associated with Poor Outcomes after First-ever Acute Ischemic Stroke.
This study investigated the time-trend persistence with antithrombotic agents (AT) and assessed the impact of AT persistence on outcome events and adverse events (AE) within two years after first-ever acute ischemic stroke (IS). METHODS: Using Taiwan's National Health Insurance claims dataset, 7,341 IS subjects hospitalized between 2001 and 2005 with AT prescribed at discharge and survived at least 3 months were followed up for 2 years. Time-trends of AT usage were analyzed. Medication persistence was assessed as the proportion of days covered (PDC) for filled prescription, and categorized into low, intermediate and hi...

Increased Incident Ischemic Stroke Risk in Advanced Kidney Disease: A Large-Scale Real-World Data Study.
CONCLUSION: Although we found that OAC use was effective and recommended for patients with AF, advanced kidney disease is still an independent risk factor for IS/SE, even in patients taking OAC. Physicians should be aware of this risk and strictly control modifiable risk factors, regardless of OAC use. PMID: 32726780 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
