Why the study?
Are DOACs cost-effective compared to Vitamin K Antagonists for the management of patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation?
Are DOACs cost-effective compared to Vitamin K Antagonists for the management of patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation?
DOACs appear to be a sustainable and cost-effective treatment option for non-valvular atrial fibrillation in the Italian National Health System due to their ability to offset drug costs by reducing clinical events.
Supports DOAC cost offsets in NVAF via RWE; extends real-world data but leaves open prospective validation.
The beneficial effect of DOACs on containing events showed in RWE had the potential to offset drug-related costs, thus improving the sustainability of treatment for non-valvular AF in daily clinical practice.
