Overview of Real-World Data​Real-world settings study demonstrated a significantly higher risk of hospitalization (all-cause, stroke/SE, and major bleeding) associated with warfarin, a significantly higher risk of major bleeding hospitalization associated with dabigatran or rivaroxaban, and a significantly higher risk of all-cause hospitalization associated with rivaroxaban compared to apixaban. Lower major bleeding-related costs were observed for apixaban patients compared to warfarin and rivaroxaban patients.3Eliquis® was associated with a lower risk of major bleeding (hazard ratio = 0.44 [95% CI: 0.12–0.97]) compared with VKA.4
Evidence of the safety of NOAC use in the real-world setting and may facilitate clinical decision making, especially in Italy where data on the real-world use of NOACs have been lacking.4​
