About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Oral Anticoagulants Among Thai Octogenarians With Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation : A Retrospective Study

A retrospective cohort study of Thai octogenarians with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) initiating apixaban, dabigatran, rivaroxaban or warfarin was conducted in medical school hospital in Thailand. Patients were recruited from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2018. The efficacy outcome was early recurrence of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) in 90 days after initiation of oral anticoagulants (OACs). The safety outcome were major bleeding and clinically relevant non-major bleeding complications in 180 days. Continuous variables were compared using independent t test and MannWhitney U test, and categorical variables were compared using chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. Furthermore, hazard ratios and P values were calculated by the use of multivariable Cox's regression analysis.

Read the detailed description

This is a retrospective cohort study of Thai octogenarians with NVAF. Patients who were prescribed with apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban, rivaroxaban or warfarin from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2018 were recruited. The primary efficacy was recurrent ischemic stroke or TIA in 90 days after initiating OACs. The secondary efficacy were recurrent ischemic stroke or TIA in 180 days after initiating OACs. While any bleeding complications were defied as primary safety outcomes. Continuous variables were compared using independent t test and MannWhitney U test, and categorical variables were compared using chi-square test or Fisher's exact test.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Rate recurrence of stroke or TIA in 90 days

    Rate recurrence of stroke or TIA in 90 days after initiation of OACs

    Measured: 90 days after initiation of OACs

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Rate recurrence of stroke or TIA in 180 days

    Rate recurrence of stroke or TIA in 180 days after initiation of OACs

    Measured: 180 days after initiation of OACs

  2. Rate of major bleeding

    Rate of major bleeding in 90 days and 180 days after initiation of OACs

    Measured: 180 days after initiation of OACs

  3. Rate of clinically relevant non-major bleeding

    Rate of clinically relevant non-major bleeding in 90 days and 180 days after initiation of OACs

    Measured: 180 days after initiation of OACs

  4. Patients's baseline characteristics associated with recurrence of stroke or TIA as assessed by multivariate cohort analysis

    Patients's baseline characteristics associated with recurrence of stroke or TIA in 180 days after initiation of OACs as assessed by multivariate cohort analysis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stroke and Atrial Fibrillation, run by Mahidol University at 1 site in Thailand.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Thailand. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate recurrence of stroke or TIA in 90 days (time frame: 90 days after initiation of OACs). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Feb 2020.
