Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Patients on Chronic Dialysis and Concomitant Atrial Fibrillation: A Common Clinical Impasse
Front Biosci (Schol Ed). 2022 Jul 21;14(3):21. doi: 10.31083/j.fbs1403021.ABSTRACTThe most frequent arrhythmia treated is atrial fibrillation (AF), which necessitates the use of oral anticoagulants (OACs) to reduce the risk of thromboembolism and stroke. Patients with chronic kidney disease are more likely to develop AF, with a 10% frequency among those on chronic dialysis. Warfarin is the most widely prescribed OAC for individuals with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). On the other hand, direct OACs (DOACs) are generally safer than warfarin, with fewer fatal bleeding events and a fixed dose that does not require close inte...

IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 11939: Do Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and a History of Ischemic Stroke Overuse Reduced Doses of NOACs? & mdash;Results of the Polish Atrial Fibrillation (POL-AF) Registry
Conclusions: A significant proportion of AF patients received reduced doses of NOAC after ischemic stroke in a sizeable number of cases, without indication for dose reduction.

Apixaban versus other anticoagulants in patients with nonvalvular fibrillation: a comparison of all-cause and event-related costs in real-life setting in France
ConclusionsHCRU and most event-related costs were lower in patients initiating apixaban compared to other OACs. Apixaban may be cost-saving compared to VKAs, and significantly cheaper than other DOACs, although cost differences are limited.

Risk of stroke/systemic embolism, major bleeding and associated costs in non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients who initiated apixaban, dabigatran, or rivaroxaban compared with warfarin in the United States Medicare population: updated analysis
CONCLUSIONS: This real-world analysis showed DOACs to be associated with lower risk of stroke/SE and major bleeding, and lower medical costs compared to warfarin. Among them, only apixaban appears to be associated with a significantly lower risk of all three outcomes collectively: stroke/SE, major bleeding, and lower related medical costs compared to warfarin.PMID:35993487 | DOI:10.1080/03007995.2022.2115772

Bleeding events in the emergency department with warfarin versus novel oral anticoagulants: A five-year analysis
Conclusion: Our findings indicate that rates of major and minor bleeding complications in patients taking NOACs are similar to those in patients taking warfarin. While warfarin was associated with fewer complications than NOACs in terms of gastrointestinal bleeding, the risk of intracranial bleeding, was similar between the groups.

A comparison of front-line oral anticoagulants for the treatment of non-valvular atrial fibrillation: Effectiveness and safety of direct oral anticoagulants in the FANTASIIA registry
We present in this manuscript original data analysis from FANTASIIA population as well as data obtained through a search of PubMed for the clinical trials comparing DOAC in the main randomized trials of each DOAC and observational data of the real-world effects of DOACs compared to VKAs.EXPERT OPINION: In the absence of randomized, controlled head-to-head comparisons between DOACs, high-quality observational data can provide useful information on the comparative effectiveness of DOACs. Current clinical guidelines recommend the management of oral anticoagulation in AF patients with DOACs over VKA for stroke prevention; howe...

Economic evaluation of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) versus vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions Our meta-analysis provides comprehensive economic evidence that allows policy makers to generalise cost-effectiveness data to their local context. All DOACs may be cost-effective compared with VKA in HICs with TPP perspective. The pooling results produced moderate to high heterogeneity particularly in UMICs. Further studies are required to inform UMICs with SP. PROSPERO registeration number CRD 42019146610.

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 changing use of anticoagulants in New Zealand
CONCLUSIONS: The introduction of the DOACs was expected to reduce the use of warfarin. However, the rapid rise in DOAC use was not predicted. The increase is most likely in patients with atrial fibrillation with the positive benefit of reducing the incidence of embolic stroke. However, having a high proportion of the elderly population (15% of people over 75-years) on anticoagulants has implications for the health sector, making hospital admissions and surgery more complex.PMID:35728215
