How has the use of oral anticoagulants changed over 10 years in Australian general practice patients with atrial fibrillation at high stroke risk?
OAC prescribing for high-risk AF patients in Australian general practices has increased significantly over a 10-year period, though practice-level variation remains.
Over the 10 years, OAC prescribing in high stroke risk patients with AF increased by one-third. There was considerable variation in OAC prescribing between general practices.
