Abstract

Objective: The goal of this study was to define clinical practice patterns for assessing stroke and bleeding risks andthromboprophylaxis in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF)and to evaluate treatment outcomes and patient quality of life.Methods: A clinical surveillance study was conducted in 10tertiary healthcare centers across Turkey. Therapeutic approaches and persistence with initial treatment were recordedat baseline, the 6th month, and the 12th month in NVAF patients.Results: Of 210 patients (57.1% male; mean age: 64.86±12.87years), follow-up data were collected for 146 patients throughphone interviews at the 6th month and 140 patients at the 12thmonth. At baseline, most patients had high CHADS2 score(≥2: 48.3%) and CHA2DS2-VASc (≥2: 78.7%) risk scores but alow HAS-BLED (0–2: 83.1%) score. Approximately two-thirdsof the patients surveyed were using oral anticoagulants as anantithrombotic and one-third were using antiplatelet agents.The rate of persistence with initial treatment was approximately 86%. Bleeding was reported by 22.6% and 25.0% ofpatients at the 6th and 12th month, respectively. The proportion of patients with an INR of 2.0–3.0 was 41.8% at baseline,65.7% at the 6th month, and 65.9% at the 12th month. Thetime in therapeutic range was 61.0% during 1 year of followup. The median EuroQol 5-dimensional health questionnaire(EQ-5D) score of the patients at baseline and the 12th monthwas 0.827 and 0.778, respectively (p

Özet

Amaç: Non-valvüler atriyum fibrilasyonunda (NVAF), hastaların felç ve kanama riski ve tromboprofilaksi açısından değerlendirilmesi için klinik uygulama paternlerini belirlemek ve hastaların tedavi sonuçlarını ve yaşam kalitelerini değerlendirmek. Yöntemler: Türkiye genelinde 12 üçüncü basamak sağlık merkezinde yürütülen klinik sürveyans çalışma. Tedaviye yaklaşım ve tedaviye uyum verileri NVAF’li hastalarda çalışma başlangıcında, 6. ve 12. aylarda kaydedildi. Bulgular: Takip verileri, 210 hastanın (%57.1 erkek; ortalama yaş, 64.86±12.87 yıl) 146’sında 6. ayda ve 140’ında 12. ayda telefon görüşmesiyle toplandı. Başlangıçta, hastaların çoğunda CHADS2(≥2, %48.3) ve CHA2 DS2 -VASc (≥2, %78.7) risk skoru yüksekken HAS-BLED (0-2, %83.1) skoru düşüktü. Başlangıçta, 177 hasta (%84.3) herhangi bir AF tedavisi alıyordu. Antitrombotik tipini bildirenlerin yaklaşık üçte ikisi oral antikoagülan ve üçte biri antitrombosit ajan kullanıyordu. Başlangıç tedavisine devam oranı yaklaşık %86’ydı. Kanama 6. ayda hastaların %22.6’sında ve 12. ayda %25’inde bildirildi. Hedef INR değeri 2–3 olan hastaların yüzdesi başlangıçta %41.8 iken, 6. ayda %65.7’ye ve 12. ayda %65.9’a yükseldi. Bir yıllık takipte, terapötik aralıkta geçen zamana hastaların %61.0’ında ulaşıldı. Hastaların medyan EQ-5D skorları başlangıçta 0.827 (0.145–1.000) ve 12. ayda 0.778 (-0.040–1.000) idi (p
