Effectiveness and Safety of Oral Anticoagulants Among Obese Patients With Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation in the Veterans Affairs Population With Medicare
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Apixaban for Atrial Fibrillation and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 107,383 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The overall objective of this analysis is to understand patient characteristics, the use of treatment, and clinical outcomes among obese (overweight) and severely obese patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) who initiate therapy with OACs (oral anti-coagulants). The aim of this study is to compare all DOACs (direct oral anti-coagulants) to warfarin. However, the primary analysis will be conducted among apixaban vs warfarin patients only. If sample size permits, we will also conduct other DOAC vs warfarin and DOAC vs DOAC analysis.
