- Conditions
- Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation
- Registration Number
- NCT04586972
- Lead Sponsor
- Gérond'if
- Brief Summary
The main objective of this study is to realize an observational "real life" study conducted in French geriatric settings, to assess safety and efficacy in ≥ 80 year-old patients with nonvalvular Atrial fibrillation (AF) newly treated with Apixaban.
Moreover, in this geriatric population the adequacy of Apixaban dosage and events (bleeding and stroke) will be assessed.
- Detailed Description
It is a muliticentric, observational, prospective study.
This study will be conducted in about 40 geriatric settings in France.

The following data will be colllected:
* At M0 : Socio-demographics, clinical and biological data; embolic risk and emorrhagic risk scores,cognitive function, number of falls, blood pressure, nutritional assessment, athonomy, comorbidities, data on anticoagulant therapy, treatment discontinuation and clinical evaluation.
* At M3, M6, M9 and M12: • Number of falls, all treatment schedule, record of major bleeding events, record of any other bleeding events, record of other serious events, record of other non-major events, treatment discontinuation, and social and medical environment.
* Only M6 and M12: Renal function (both Cockcroft-Gault, chronic Kidney Disease, epidemiology Collaboration "CKD EPI" and the four variable modification of Diet in renal Disease equation "MDRD")
