Temporal trends of prescription rates, oral anticoagulants dose, clinical outcomes, and factors associated with non-anticoagulation in patients with incident atrial fibrillation
There was an increasing trend of OAC prescription, temporally associated with a decreased risk of ischaemic stroke and mortality. Among DOACs users, the risk of ischaemic stroke declined gradually, partly explained by the increasing prescriptions of higher dose DOACs. Both patient and non-patient factors were associated with non-anticoagulation. Further efforts are required to increase OAC prescription.
