Stroke and thromboembolic event rates in atrial fibrillation according to different guideline treatment thresholds: A nationwide cohort study
Contemporary guidelines suggest anticoagulant treatment decisions in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients to be based on risk stratification for stroke. However, guidelines do not agree on the threshold for treatment initiation. We explored the variation in thromboembolic event rates in a non-anticoagulated AF population, according to different guideline threshold and methodological approaches. AF...
متن کاملIntracranial hemorrhage and subsequent ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation: a nationwide cohort study.
BACKGROUND The risk of ischemic stroke/thromboembolic events after an intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who are on warfarin treatment is poorly characterized. The aim of this study was to assess the association between the risk of ischemic stroke/thromboembolic events and ICH. METHODS Linkage of three Danish nationwide administrative registries in the per...
متن کاملDabigatran and warfarin for secondary prevention of stroke in atrial fibrillation patients: a nationwide cohort study.
BACKGROUND This register-based observational study compares dabigatran to warfarin for secondary stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation patients among both "new starters" on dabigatran and "switchers" to dabigatran from warfarin. METHODS We identified, in nationwide Danish registries, 2398 patients with atrial fibrillation and a history of stroke/transient ischemic attack, making a first-ti...
متن کاملPsoriasis and risk of atrial fibrillation and ischaemic stroke: a Danish Nationwide Cohort Study.
AIMS Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease and inflammation contributes to the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF) and ischaemic stroke. We therefore investigated the risk of these endpoints in patients with psoriasis. METHODS AND RESULTS Cohort study of the entire Danish population followed from 1997 to 2006 by individual-level-linkage of nationwide prospectively recorded register...
متن کاملPatients With Ischemic Stroke and Incident Atrial Fibrillation: A Nationwide Cohort Study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A substantial part of ischemic strokes is attributed to atrial fibrillation (AF). We hypothesized that patients with ischemic stroke without prior diagnosed AF were at higher risk of having a subsequent diagnosis of AF, and this was associated with multiple risk factors. METHODS This French longitudinal cohort study was based on the national database covering hospital c...
