Design and rationale of dabigatran's stroke prevention in real life in Turkey (D-SPIRIT).
CONCLUSION: Potential results of D-SPIRIT registry will add data from clinical practice to those from the RE-LY trial to expand knowledge of dabigatran etexilate treatment in patients with NVAF. PMID: 27138311 [PubMed - in process]

Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants and Antiplatelet Therapy for Stroke Prevention in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) are frequently used to prevent stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. These patients are often also on aspirin or other antiplatelet agents. It is possible that treatment with both NOACs and aspirin or other antiplatelet drug may be effective in decreasing stroke, but data are sparse regarding the efficacy and safety of using both agents for stroke prevention. To address these issues, data were pooled from the 4 recent randomized, controlled trials of NOACs: apixaban, rivaroxaban, dabigatran, and edoxaban, which included 42,411 patients; 14,148 (33.4%) were also on...

Association between statin use and ischemic stroke or major hemorrhage in patients taking dabigatran for atrial fibrillation.
Authors: Antoniou T, Macdonald EM, Yao Z, Hollands S, Gomes T, Tadrous M, Mamdani MM, Juurlink DN, Canadian Drug Safety and Effectiveness Research Network Abstract BACKGROUND: Dabigatran etexilate is a prodrug whose absorption is opposed by intestinal P-glycoprotein and which is converted by carboxylesterase to its active form, dabigatran. Unlike other statins, simvastatin and lovastatin are potent inhibitors of P-glycoprotein and carboxylesterase, and might either increase the risk of hemorrhage with dabigatran etexilate or decrease its effectiveness. METHODS: We conducted 2 population-based, nested case-contr...

Successful intravenous thrombolysis for ischemic stroke after reversal of dabigatran anticoagulation with idarucizumab: a case report
ConclusionsOur case report adds to the evidence that idarucizumab administration is safe in the setting of patients with atrial fibrillation treated with dabigatran who develop acute ischemic stroke requiring thrombolysis.

Oral anticoagulant use for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation patients with difficult scenarios
Publication date: September 2018Source: IJC Heart & Vasculature, Volume 20Author(s): Ting-Yung Chang, Jo-Nan Liao, Tze-Fan Chao, Jennifer Jeanne Vicera, Chin-Yu Lin, Ta-Chuan Tuan, Yenn-Jiang Lin, Shih-Lin Chang, Li-Wei Lo, Yu-Feng Hu, Fa-Po Chung, Shih-Ann ChenAbstractAtrial fibrillation (AF) has become the most prevalent arrhythmia and it will increase the risk of ischemic stroke, heart failure, mortality, sudden cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and dementia. Stroke prevention with oral anticoagulant is crucial for management of AF patients. Vitamin K antagonist, which inhibits the clotting factors II, VII, IX and X...

Number needed to treat based on real-world evidence for non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants versus vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants in stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.
CONCLUSIONS: The NNT calculation, when approached and interpreted properly, is a practical measure of the effectiveness of a treatment. The calculation based on HRs showed that NOACs are safe and effective alternatives to VKAs in real life. PMID: 30969801 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Pradaxa Fails to Prevent Recurrence After Cryptogenic Stroke Pradaxa Fails to Prevent Recurrence After Cryptogenic Stroke
Dabigatran, sold under the brand name Pradaxa by Boehringer Ingelheim to prevent stroke in people with atrial fibrillation, is no more effective than aspirin for preventing a subsequent stroke in patients who have experienced a cryptogenic stroke.Reuters Health Information

Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants in Secondary Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation Patients: An Updated Analysis by Adding Observational Studies
ConclusionBased on current data, the use of NOACs is at least non-inferior to the use of VKAs in AF patients for secondary stroke prevention irrespective of NOAC type.

Anticoagulants for Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation in Elderly Patients
AbstractIschaemic stroke and systemic embolism are the major potentially preventable complications of atrial fibrillation (AF) leading to severe morbidity and mortality. Anticoagulation using vitamin K antagonists (VKA) or non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) is mandatory for stroke prevention in AF. Following approval of the four NOACs dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban, the use of VKA is declining steadily. Increasing age with thresholds of 65 and 75  years is a strong risk factor when determining annual stroke risk in AF patients. Current recommendations such as the “2016 Guidelines for the manageme...

Comparative effectiveness and safety of direct acting oral anticoagulants in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation for stroke prevention: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions: Apixaban appeared to have a favorable effectiveness-safety profile compared with the other DOACs in AF for stroke prevention, based on evidence from both direct and indirect comparisons. However, additional high-quality evidence is needed to support firm recommendations on clinical decision-making.

Predictors of Development of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Embolic Stroke Of Undetermined Source: An Analysis of the RE-SPECT ESUS Trial
Conclusions: Besides age as the most important variable, several other factors, including hypertension, higher body mass index, and lack of diabetes, are independent predictors of AF after ESUS. When baseline NT-proBNP was available, only older age and elevation of this biomarker were predictive of subsequent AF. Understanding who is at higher risk of developing AF will assist in identifying patients who may benefit from more intense, long-term cardiac monitoring.PMID:34649459 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.121.055176

Dabigatran for stroke prevention in real life in a sample of population from Turkey: D-SPIRIT registry
CONCLUSION: This registry obtained an important overview of the current safety and effectiveness of the dabigatran etexilate in Turkey. Our results indicate similar rates of thromboembolic and bleeding events with pivotal phase 3 trial and other real-life registries. However, rate of undertreatment usage of dabigatran etexilate in real life was found to be considerable.PMID:34881702 | DOI:10.5543/tkda.2021.07734
