In older patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) or acute venous thromboembolism (VTE), what are the efficacy and safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) compared with vitamin K antagonists (VKA)?
Included English studies compared DOACs (thrombin inhibitor dabigatran or factor Xa inhibitors apixaban, rivaroxaban, and edoxaban) with a VKA for stroke prevention in patients with AF or for treatment of acute VTE for ≥ 3 months. Primary outcomes were stroke or systemic embolism, recurrent VTE, and major bleeding.
