Hayder Kadhim: Determinants and Outcomes of OAC Discontinuation in Atrial Fibrillation
Hayder Kadhim, Consultant Cardiologist at Region Östergötland, shared a post on LinkedIn:
”I am pleased and honored to present our latest study as a poster at the prestigious ESOC Conference in Maastricht.
Our research explores risk factors associated with oral anticoagulant (OAC) interruptions in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), including both temporary and permanent discontinuations.
We also examine treatment pattern changes across different OAC types and dosing strategies, and compare clinical outcomes between patients who persist with therapy and those who discontinue.
This work is based on high-quality Swedish national registers, including AURICULA, which uniquely enabled us to identify the exact dates of treatment discontinuation and generate robust real-world evidence.”
