Cardiovascular and renal outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation and stage 4 –5 chronic kidney disease receiving direct oral anticoagulants: a multicenter retrospective cohort study
AbstractThe role of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and stage 4 –5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) is controversial. Electronic medical records from 2012 to 2021 were retrieved for patients with AF and stage 4–5 CKD receiving oral anticoagulants. Patients were separated into those receiving DOACs (dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, or edoxaban) or vitamin K ant agonists (VKA). Primary outcomes included ischemic stroke (IS), systemic thrombosis (SE), major bleeding, gastrointestinal bleeding, hemorrhagic stroke, acute myocardial infarction, cardiovascular death, and all-cause dea...

Controversies in Stoppage of Antiplatelet and Anticoagulant Medications Prior to Oral Surgery
Dental procedures can pose a risk of bleeding, and it is not uncommon for dentists to consult prescribing physicians regarding a mutual patient's antiplatelet and anticoagulant medication to prevent excessive bleeding during or after an upcoming procedure. However, there has been a growing controversy in the dental community surrounding the stoppage of these medications prior to dental procedures. Some believe that stopping these medications prior to dental procedures is necessary to reduce the risk of bleeding complications, while others argue that stopping them can increase the risk of stroke or other thromboembolic even...

Left ventricular hypertrophy and left atrial size are associated with ischemic strokes among non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant users
ConclusionsPrior cerebrovascular events, diabetes, left ventricular hypertrophy, and increased left atrial size are risk factors for developing an IS among NOAC users.

Outcome after intracranial hemorrhage under dabigatran and reversal with idarucizumab versus under vitamin-K-antagonists – the RIC-ICH study
ConclusionThese results, based on data from routine clinical practice, suggest that in-hospital mortality after idarucizumab treatment is comparable to that in patients pretreated with VKA. Due to the low precision of estimates, the results must be interpreted with caution.

Oral Anticoagulation and the Incidence of Stroke Associated with Atrial Fibrillation in Mainland Portugal: A Modelling Study
CONCLUSION: The use of oral anticoagulation was associated with a reduced incidence of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation in mainland Portugal. This reduction was more relevant in the period between 2016 and 2018, and is probably related with the introduction of the novel oral anticoagulants.PMID:37429703 | DOI:10.20344/amp.19255

The Impact of Polypharmacy on the Effectiveness and Safety of Non-vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
CONCLUSION: Polypharmacy was associated with increased thromboembolic, bleeding, and mortality risks in AF patients. NOACs had better benefit-risk profiles than VKAs in patients with polypharmacy.PMID:37369234 | DOI:10.1055/s-0043-1769735

Prescriptive behavior of non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants in patients affected by atrial fibrillation in general practice
Biomed Pharmacother. 2023 Jun 21;165:115020. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115020. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia worldwide and in recent years the pharmacological approach has been strongly implemented; in Italy, the prescription of the non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOAC) was also extended to General Practitioners (GPs) since 2020. The aim of the present study was to investigate the GPs prescribing behaviour of NOACs. An observational study was performed by using the computerized medical record of 14 GPs in Sicily: patients affected by AF were selected and st...

Non-major bleeding risk of direct oral anticoagulants versus vitamin K antagonists for stroke prevention with atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and network meta-analysis
ConclusionsBased on current evidence, for stroke prevention in patients with AF, the safest DOAC is apixaban in terms of non-major bleeding. This suggests that apixaban may have a lower risk of non-major bleeding than other anticoagulants and may help provide some clinical reference for choosing a more appropriate drug for the patient.

Safety outcomes of direct oral anticoagulants in older adults with atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and meta-analysis of (subgroup analyses from) randomized controlled trials
AbstractBalancing stroke prevention and risk of bleeding in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is challenging. Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are by now considered standard of care for treating patients with AF in international guidelines. Our objective was to assess the safety of long-term intake of DOACs in older adults with AF. We included RCTs in elderly ( ≥ 65 years) patients with AF. A systematic search in MEDLINE and EMBASE was performed on 19 April 2022. For determination of risk of bias, the RoB 2 tool was applied. We pooled outcomes using random-effects meta-analyses. The quality of evidence was as...

Anticoagulant Treatment Adherence and Persistence in German Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
ConclusionsPatients with AF receiving edoxaban had significantly higher adherence and persistence compared with those receiving VKAs. This trend was also seen in NOAC QD regimens vs. NOAC BID regimens for adherence. These results provide insight into how adherence and persistence may contribute to the effectiveness of edoxaban for stroke prevention in patients with AF in Germany.
