Key result
Anticoagulation initiation for new-onset atrial fibrillation in the Emergency Department was investigated to identify reasons for non-prescription and improve stroke prevention.
Why the study?
To report anticoagulation initiation rates among ED patients with new-onset AF and detail reasons for non-prescription to identify targets for improving stroke prevention.

This study aims to identify targets for improving stroke prevention by analyzing anticoagulation initiation rates and barriers in ED patients with new-onset atrial fibrillation.
To report rates of anticoagulation (AC) initiation among Emergency Department (ED) patients with new-onset atrial fibrillation (afib) and detail reasons for not prescribing AC to identify targets for improvements in stroke prevention.
