Abstract
AF is common in NH residents, and more than half of the residents with AF who had indications for and no contraindications against warfarin use were not prescribed either warfarin or antiplatelets, such as aspirin or clopidogrel, suggesting that antithrombotic therapy may be underused in NH residents with AF.
