Reasons for omitting anticoagulant treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation: an audit of patient records in general practice
This study found that most anticoagulant treatment omissions in patients with atrial fibrillation were supported by documented clinical reasoning, suggesting that the extent of inappropriate undertreatment may be lower than expected. Nevertheless, optimising care pathways could facilitate timely anticoagulation for some patients with atrial fibrillation.
