Filter by:Retrospective monocentric registry to evaluate the efficacy and safety of different anticoagulants in patients with thromboembolic antiphospholipid syndrome
The purpose of this study is to assess safety and effectiveness of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and warfarin for stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). The comparison of DOACs versus oral vitamin K antagonists, in particular warfarin, is of interest. The investigators will carry out separate population-based, matched cohort studies, using health administrative databases in seven Canadian provinces. New users of oral anticoagulants (DOACs or warfarin) for stroke prevention in non-valvular AF will be eligible to enter the cohorts. Follow-up will continue until a hospitalization or emergency department visit for a stroke. The results from the separate sites will be combined by meta-analysis to provide an overall assessment of the safety and effectiveness of the different anticoagulation regimens in stroke prevention in AF. The investigators hypothesize that DOACs and warfarin will have similar safety and effectiveness profiles.
The purpose of this study is to assess safety and effectiveness of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). The comparison of DOACs between themselves is of interest. The investigators will carry out separate population-based, matched cohort studies, using health administrative databases in nine jurisdictions in Canada, the UK and the US. New users of DOACs for stroke prevention in non-valvular AF will be eligible to enter the cohorts. Follow-up will continue until a hospitalization or emergency department visit for a stroke. The results from the separate sites will be combined by meta-analysis to provide an overall assessment of the safety and effectiveness of the different anticoagulation regimens in stroke prevention in AF. The investigators hypothesize that different DOACs will have similar safety and effectiveness profiles.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) is associated with an increased risk of major bleeding compared to warfarin use, for the treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The investigators will carry out separate population based cohort studies using health administrative databases in eight jurisdictions in Canada, the UK and the US. Cohorts will be defined by the initiation of a DOAC or warfarin on or after January 1, 2009, with an incident diagnosis of VTE having occurred within 30 days prior to the date of the prescription for the DOAC or warfarin. Follow-up will continue until a hospitalization or emergency department visit for a major bleed. The results from separate sites will be combined to provide an overall assessment of the risk of major bleeding in DOAC users.
