Use of oral anticoagulants in atrial fibrillation is highly variable and only weakly associated with estimated stroke risk:cross-sectional population database study
Background: Current international guidelines promote the use of stroke risk stratification tools to inform decision making about oral anticoagulant (OAC) use in atrial fibrillation (AF). Objectives: To examine (a) differences between CHADS(2) and CHA(2)DS(2) VASc in classifying stroke risk in a primary care population of AF patients; (b) patterns of use of antithrombotics by stroke risk; and (c) patient and practice characteristics associated with use of oral anticoagulants in patients with AF. Methods: Cross-sectional multilevel modelling study of all patients wit
