Résumé
Dabigatran and rivaroxaban at standard (SD) or reduced doses (RD) have been compared to warfarin in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), but not to each other. This was a new user study of SD and RD dabigatran or rivaroxaban for NVAF in the French healthcare database, matched on gender, age, date of first dispensing, and high-dimensional propensity score, followed 2 years. Hazard ratios [95% Confidence Intervals] of stroke or systemic embolism (SSE), major bleeding (MB) or death, were computed. In matched SD patients (8,290 per arm), mean age 67, HR for dabigatran vs. rivaroxaban were SSE 0.92 [0.67-1.26], MB 0.59 [0.39-0.90], death 0.84 [0.65-1.11]. In RD patients (7639 per arm), mean age 80, HR for dabigatran vs. rivaroxaban were SSE 0.73 [0.59-0.94], MB 0.74 [0.57-0.96], death 0.95 [0.83-1.09]. In conclusion, at either dose dabigatran had similar or better effectiveness than rivaroxaban, but lower bleeding risk. Death rates were not different. This article is protected by copyright.
