Why the study?
There is a paucity of data assessing the impact of anticoagulation strategies on clinical outcomes for general critical care patients with atrial fibrillation.
Do anticoagulation strategies prevent thromboembolic events or increase bleeding in adults with atrial fibrillation in critical care?

Anticoagulation may increase major bleeding without reducing thromboembolic events in critically ill AF; leaves open optimal strategies pending standardized trials.
Do anticoagulation strategies prevent thromboembolic events or increase bleeding in adults with atrial fibrillation in critical care?
In critically ill patients with atrial fibrillation, anticoagulation may increase major bleeding without significantly reducing thromboembolic events, though current data is limited and unstandardized.
