Abstract | Background: Oral anticoagulant therapy for atrial fibrillation (AF) has changed dramatically. Direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) therapy is administered by general practitioners and specialists. However, the beneficial long-term effects and safety of DOACs have not been well investigated in real-world clinical practice. Methods: The ASSAF-K (a study of the safety and efficacy of OAC therapy in the treatment of AF in Kanagawa), a prospective, multi-center, observational study, was conducted to clarify patient characteristics, status of OAC treatment, long-term outcomes, and adverse events, including cerebrovascular disease, bleeding, and death. Results: A total of 4014 patients were enrolled (hospital: 2500 cases; clinic: 1514 cases). The number of patients in the final dataset was 3367 (mean age, 72.6 ± 10.0 years; males, 66.3 %). CHA Conclusions: This multi-center registry demonstrated the long-term outcome in patients with AF treated with and without OACs and suggests that DOAC therapy is safe and beneficial in hospitals and clinics. |
