NCT03374540

Brief Summary

The overall goal of this study was to evaluate the comparative safety and effectiveness of rivaroxaban vs. vitamin K antagonist (VKA) for stroke prevention in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) across risk profiles and comorbidities that reflect everyday clinical practice. The primary objective in this study was to evaluate the combined end point of stroke or systemic embolism (SSE), and major bleeding in NVAF patients treated with rivaroxaban vs. VKA.

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Hemorrhagic stroke

    Retrospective analysis from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2017

  • Ischemic stroke

    Retrospective analysis from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2017

  • Subtypes of major bleeding

    Retrospective analysis from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2017

  • Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and major adverse limb events (MALEs)

    Retrospective analysis from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2017

  • Acute kidney injury

    Retrospective analysis from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2017

  • +1 more secondary outcomes
