Résumé

We compared the 1-year safety and effectiveness of dabigatran 110 mg (D110) or 150 mg (D150) to vitamin K antagonists (VKA) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), METHODS: New user cohort study of patients dispensed D110 or D150 vs. VKA in 2013 for NVAF, followed 1 year in the French Système National des Données de Santé (SNDS, 66 million persons). D110 and D150 users were matched 1:1 with VKA users on sex, age, date of first drug dispensing, and high-dimensional propensity score (hdPS). Hazard ratios (HR [95% confidence intervals]) for stroke and systemic embolism (SSE), major bleeding (MB), and death were computed using Cox proportional hazards or Fine and Gray models during exposure.
