UK researchers emulated an RCT comparing blood thinners using real-world data, finding similar treatment effects but noting differences in patient demographics and medication use. This approach aims to fill evidence gaps for underrepresented groups in RCTs.
Researchers emulated a randomized controlled trial using UK health data to compare apixaban and warfarin for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation patients, finding similar outcomes but no superiority of apixaban, suggesting differences in warfarin control, apixaban dosing, and patient demographics may affect results.
