International trends in clinical characteristics and oral anticoagulation treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation: Results from the GARFIELD, ORBIT-AF I, and ORBIT-AF II Registries
Conclusions Among new-onset AF patients, NOAC use has increased and antiplatelet monotherapy has decreased. However, anticoagulation is used frequently in low-risk patients and inconsistently in those at high-risk of stroke. Significant geographic variability in anticoagulation persists and represents an opportunity for improvement.

Interventional left atrial appendage closure vs novel anticoagulation agents in patients with atrial fibrillation indicated for long-term anticoagulation (PRAGUE-17 study)

Design and rationale of Global Registry on Long-Term Oral Antithrombotic Treatment in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: A global registry program on long-term oral antithrombotic treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation
Conclusions: Novel features of this registry program will add data from clinical practice to those from randomized trials to expand knowledge of antithrombotic treatment in patients with AF.
