Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- stroke/systemic embolism event [between 2014 and 2018]
To compare the risk of stroke (either ischemic or hemorrhagic) or SE among patients newly treated with each NOAC separately (apixaban, dabigatran, rivaroxaban) versus VKAs.
- major bleeding event [between 2014 and 2018]
To compare the risk of major bleeding (gastrointestinal [GI], intracranial [IC] and other) among patients newly treated with each NOAC separately (apixaban, dabigatran, rivaroxaban) versusVKAs.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- ischemic stroke event [between 2014 and 2018]
To compare the risk of ischemic stroke among patients newly treated with each NOAC separately (apixaban, dabigatran, rivaroxaban) versus VKAs.
- hemorrhagic stroke event [between 2014 and 2018]
To compare the risk of hemorrhagic stroke among patients newly treated with each NOAC separately (apixaban, dabigatran, rivaroxaban) versus VKAs.
- systemic embolism event [2014-2018]
To compare the risk of systemic embolism among patients newly treated with each NOAC separately (apixaban, dabigatran, rivaroxaban) versus VKAs.
- major GI bleeding event [2014-2018]
To compare the risk of major GI bleeding among patients newly treated with each NOAC separately (apixaban, dabigatran, rivaroxaban) versus VKAs.
- major IC bleeding event [2014-2018]
To compare the risk of major IC bleeding among patients newly treated with each NOAC separately (apixaban, dabigatran, rivaroxaban) versus VKAs.
- other major bleeding event [2014-2018]
To compare the risk of other major bleeding among patients newly treated with each NOAC separately (apixaban, dabigatran, rivaroxaban) versus VKAs.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

-
At least 1 OAC (apixaban, dabigatran, rivaroxaban, VKAs) dispensed during the identification period.
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Specialty of the physician responsible for the OAC prescription in the index date is one of the following: orthopedics, general surgery, vascular surgery or any other surgical specialty;
-
Duration of OAC therapy during follow-up inferior to the cut-off defined during the feasibility assessment (except if the patient was admitted to in-hospital care during follow-up);
-

-
Hospital claims lacking a diagnosis code indicative of AF during the study period;
-
Hospital claim indicating a diagnosis or procedure code indicative of pregnancy or childbirth during the study period;
-
Hospital claim indicating a diagnosis or procedure code indicative of valvular heart disease, venous thromboembolism, cardiac surgery, pericarditis, hyperthyroidism and thyrotoxicity during the baseline period;
-
