Abstract
Patients taking AP+AC had higher CHADS2 scores than those taking an AP or AC alone. Additionally, the combination therapy (AP+AC) was preferred in patients with cardiovascular comorbidity. Changes in AC regimens were not influenced by CHADS2 scores or complications but influenced by history of bleeding. These characteristics were thus identified as major factors affecting the selection of antithrombotic regimens other than DTIs in patients with NVAF.
