Cumulative incidence of clinically relevant bleeding events following treatment initiation among NVAF patients newly prescribed oral anticoagulants (OACs)

Study Overview

Brief Summary

In a population of patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), and treated with oral anticoagulants (OAC) in routine clinical practice in England, this study will describe patients treated with each OAC, and to estimate and compare event rates of treatment discontinuation, bleeding, and healthcare resource utilisation (HCRU) across OAC treatments.

Inclusion Criteria

  • Have a prescription for apixaban, rivaroxaban, dabigatran, or VKA during the study period
  • Are ≥ 18 years of age at index date
  • Have ≥ 12 months of computerised medical data prior to index date (date of OAC initiation)
  • Have a record of AF on or ever prior to index date

Exclusion Criteria

  • Have a record for a valvular condition that is considered causal for AF on or ever prior to index date
  • Have a history of the OACs which are prescribed during the study period (ie, history of index OAC, as patients need to be newly prescribed either apixaban, rivaroxaban, dabigatran, or VKA)
  • Have more than 1 OAC exposure which starts on the same date

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Cumulative incidence of clinically relevant bleeding events following treatment initiation among NVAF patients newly prescribed oral anticoagulants (OACs)

Time Frame: Approximately 3 years

Secondary Outcomes

  • Composite of clinical characteristics in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) newly prescribed oral anticoagulants (OACs)(At baseline)
  • Composite of patient demographics in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) newly prescribed oral anticoagulants (OACs)(At baseline)
  • Cumulative incidence of a thromboembolic event following treatment initiation among NVAF patients newly prescribed oral anticoagulants (OACs)(Approximately 3 years)
  • Composite of Healthcare resource utilization patients newly prescribed oral anticoagulants (OACs)(Approximately 3 years)
