Why the study?
Few studies in Japan have reported follow-up data regarding the clinical course and risk factors for adverse outcomes in elderly patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation versus younger patients when considering the competing risk of death.
Do DOACs improve safety and efficacy compared to warfarin in elderly patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation when considering the competing risk of death?
Do DOACs improve safety and efficacy compared to warfarin in elderly patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation when considering the competing risk of death?
DOACs demonstrate superior efficacy and safety compared to warfarin in elderly Japanese patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation when accounting for the competing risk of death.
Background: Few studies in Japan have reported on follow-up data regarding the clinical course and risk factors for adverse outcomes in elderly patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), vs. younger patients, when considering the competing risk of death.
