An emulated target trial analysis based on Medicare data suggested non-inferiority of Dabigatran versus Rivaroxaban
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular heart chamber beatings. It affects three to six million people in the U.S.1, among whom 85% to 90% are eligible for oral anticoagulation therapies2,3. As established in the literature, it is of great interest to properly choose among non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs). Rivaroxaban and Dabigatran were approved by the U.S. FDA in November 2011 and October 2010, respectively. They were the first two NOACs for preventing stroke for non-valvular AF patients and have been widely used since marketing.
