Off-Label Reduced Dose Apixaban in Older Adults With Atrial Fibrillation and Associated Outcomes
CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE: Older adults with nonvalvular AF are commonly prescribed lower-than-recommended doses of apixaban. However, no significant association was found between empiric off-label reduced dosing and stroke or bleeding outcomes.PMID:37712551 | DOI:10.1177/10600280231199137

Periprocedural continuation versus interruption of oral anticoagulant drugs during transcatheter aortic valve implantation: rationale and design of the POPular PAUSE TAVI trial
EuroIntervention. 2023 Aug 22:EIJ-D-23-00206. doi: 10.4244/EIJ-D-23-00206. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAbout one-third of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) use oral anticoagulants (OAC), mainly due to atrial fibrillation. General guidelines advise interrupting OAC in patients with a high risk of bleeding undergoing interventions. However, preliminary observational data suggest that the continuation of OAC during TAVI is safe and may reduce the risk of periprocedural thromboembolic events. The Periprocedural Continuation Versus Interruption of Oral Anticoagulant Drugs During Transcatheter ...

Can a best practice advisory improve anticoagulation prescribing to reduce stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation?
CONCLUSIONS: A BPA added to an AF decision support tool improved anticoagulation therapy among AF patients in a primary care academic health system setting.PMID:37579873 | DOI:10.1016/j.jjcc.2023.08.005

Quality and safety in the literature: July 2023
Healthcare quality and safety span multiple topics across the spectrum of academic and clinical disciplines. Keeping abreast of the rapidly growing body of work can be challenging. In this series, we provide succinct summaries of selected relevant studies published in the last several months. Some articles will focus on a particular theme, whereas others will highlight unique publications from high-impact medical journals. Key points Despite increased attention to patient safety over the last several decades, adverse events continue to be common in hospitalised patients, occurring in 23.6% of admissions studied. N Engl J M...

Prosthesis Choice in Dialysis Patients Undergoing Mitral Valve Replacement
CONCLUSIONS: MVR in dialysis patients carries significant morbidity and increased mid-term mortality. Decreased life-expectancy should be considered in the tailoring of prosthesis choice to dialysis-dependent patients.PMID:37245789 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2023.05.015

Neurology care and the long-term outcomes of atrial fibrillation-related ischaemic stroke in China: median 3-year outcome from a high volume academic tertiary hospital
Conclusions Secondary stroke prevention in AF patients associated with neurology care is challenging in China, as manifested by a lower AF detection rate, significant underuse of OACs, high mortality and recurrent stroke rate. Efforts to increasing the AF detection rate and reinforce education on neurologists should be made to improve neurology care and intensify posthospital management in such patients.
