The Adherence to Oral Anticoagulant in Chinese Patients With NVAF

• Conditions: Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation

• Registration Number: NCT04942873
• Lead Sponsor: Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University

Brief Summary

Investigate the compliance of oral anticoagulants in Chinese NVAF patients and find out the causes, so as to provide basis for formulating effective measures to improve the compliance of oral anticoagulants.

Detailed Description

1. The general information about these patients was recorded such as gender, age, smoking history, drinking history, heart failure, hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke history, TIA history, peripheral vascular disease, etc. CHA2DS2-VASc score and HAS-BLED score were recorded.

2. Medication information and follow-up information was collected.For the patients included in the study, the medication records of oral anticoagulants (outpatient, emergency, hospitalization), adverse reactions, anticoagulant use history, drug withdrawal or dressing change, disease changes, etc. within three years were recorded by referring to the patient's medical records.

Inclusion Criteria

NVAF; CHA2DS2-VASc≥2（femal≥3）; After starting the medication, the duration of continuous medication was more than 3 months

Exclusion Criteria

The patients had the records of anticoagulants in other hospitals; Patients lost to follow-up; Patients who do not need long-term anticoagulants after successful radiofrequency ablation or left atrial appendage occlusion.

Study & Design

• Study Type: OBSERVATIONAL
• Study Design: Not specified

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The long-term compliance of oral anticoagulants in NVAF patients was compared among warfarin group, dabigatran group and rivaroxaban group.	6 months	In this study, the eight item Morisky medication adherence scale (MMAS-8) was used to compare the long-term compliance of patients with warfarin, dabigatran axetil and rivaroxaban. The proportion of days covered (PDC) was used to compare the long-term compliance of patients with dabigatran and rivaroxaban.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Explore the influence of different factors on patients' compliance, and to find out the factors influencing patients' long-term compliance, so as to provide basis for formulating strategies to improve patients' long-term compliance.	6 months	Data of all influencing factors included in CHA2DS2-VASc score scale, such as age hypertension，heart failure, diabetes, women and vascular diseases， as well as region, medical insurance category, education level, anticoagulant use history and HAS-BLED score
Through multivariate logistic regression analysis, to clarify the impact of various factors on long-term compliance of patients.	6 months	Univariate analysis of significant variables, further by multivariate logistic regression analysis
