Abstract
Atrial fibrillation is independently associated with a higher risk of morbidity and mortality, in particular with an increased risk of thromboembolic events. Use of oral anticoagulant (OAC) drugs reduces the risk of stroke and systemic embolism, as well as mortality among patients with AF. With the aim to provide evidences about use of OAC and NOACs in older hospitalized patients, we here report data about the retrospective observational phase of the “ Simulation-Based Technologies to Improve the Appropriate Use of Oral Anticoagulants in Hospitalized Elderly Patients with Atrial Fibrillation” (SIM-AF) Trial
