Ischaemic stroke, haemorrhage, and mortality in older patients with chronic kidney disease newly started on anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation: A population based study from UK primary care

BMJ Feb 22, 2018

Kumar S, et al. - During this study, authors examined the connection between anticoagulation, ischaemic stroke, gastrointestinal and cerebral haemorrhage, and all cause mortality in older people with atrial fibrillation and chronic kidney disease. It was revealed that giving anticoagulants to older people with concomitant atrial fibrillation and chronic kidney disease exhibited a correlation with an increased rate of ischaemic stroke and haemorrhage but a paradoxical lowered rate of all cause mortality. Prior to the start of anticoagulants, careful considerations were recommended in older people with chronic kidney disease who developed atrial fibrillation.
