Theme: Venous Thromboembolism and Cardioembolism » Atrial Fibrillation
Background: Edoxaban is a well-established treatment for the prevention of stroke in NVAF and Systemic Embolism. The older people (>75 y-o) represent a growing group, and have a high risk of complications. The FDA considered that, in patients with AF and a Creatinine Clearance > 95 ml/min, the use of edoxaban is not recommended.
Aims: Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Edoxaban.
Secondary Objectives: To study the subpopulation of older people (> 75 y-o). To study the subpopulation of hyper-filters.
Methods: This is a descriptive study. A total of 672 patients with NVAF (97%) and DVT (3%) were included. The mean follow-up was 21 months with a median of 23 months. 47.9% women and 52.1% men. The mean age was 75 y-o, being 58.2% over 75 y-o. 16% of patients were hyper-filters. Mean CHA2DS2-VASc was 3.65. Mean HAS-BLED was 3.01.
Results: 0.5% of patients presented stroke. 4 patients presented severe bleeding (3 intracranial-bleeding), dying two of them. In older people, the average age was 81.7 y-o. Average CHA2DS2-VASc of 4.2 and average HAS-BLED of 3.19. 88% of deaths occurred in this group. Among hyper-filter patients, only one stroke occurred, representing 0.5% of this population. 35 patients finished the treatment and the anticoagulant treatment was changed in 4.3% of them.
Conclusions: This is a large sample with more than 23 months of follow-up. The good results of Edoxaban in normal clinical practice may be confirmed for general population, the older population and those with a creatinine clearance of more than 95 ml/min. These data reinforce and even improve the data obtained in the ETNA-AF Europe study with a percentage of Stroke/Systemic Embolism of 0.82% and 1.05% of Major Bleeding with 0.23% of Intracranial Bleeding.
