Registration Number
NCT04198844
Lead Sponsor
Pfizer
Brief Summary

Old age, less body weight and deteriorated renal function are significant clinical factors for the outcomes of atrial fibrillation- so called 'fragile'- and these are common risk factors in osteoporosis and fracture. Therefore, in real world, these risk factors and co-morbidities are commonly considered when it comes to prescribe anticoagulant in atrial fibrillation patients. Recent study even reported that comorbid atrial fibrillation in patients with osteoporosis might be associated with an increased risk of bone fracture and death after fracture. Because there have been very few data about the effectiveness/safety of anticoagulant among non-valvular atrial fibrillation with prior osteoporosis/fracture, this study is planned to provide real-world evidences for this specific type of non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients.
