Thromboembolic Events

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease which is independently associated with unfavorable clinical outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Few real-world data are available about the clinical performance of non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) among patients with atrial fibrillation and diabetes. The aim of our propensity score-matched cohort study was to compare the safety and effectiveness of Edoxaban versus well-controlled vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) therapy among this population. In this study, we considered patients with AF and diabetes on Edoxaban or VKAs therapy included in the multicenter Atrial Fibrillation Research Database (NCT03760874). The occurrence of major bleedings (MB) and thromboembolic events (a composite of ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack, systemic embolism) was respectively considered primary safety and effectiveness outcome. We identified 557 AF patients with diabetes who received Edoxaban (n: 230) or VKAs (n: 327) treatment. After propensity score matching analysis, 135 Edoxaban and 135 VKA recipients with similar clinical characteristics were evaluated. The mean follow-up was 27 ± 3 months. The incidence rate of thromboembolic events (TE) was 3.0 per 100 person-years (1.11 in Edoxaban vs. 1.9 in the VKA group, hazard ratio (HR): 0.59; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.14 to 2.52; p = 0.48). The incidence rate of major bleedings (MB) was 3.7 per 100 person-years (1.2 in Edoxaban vs. 2.7 in the VKA group, HR: 0.43; 95% CI: 0.10 to 1.40; p = 0.14). The incidence rate of intracranial hemorrhage was 0.35 per 100 person-years in Edoxaban vs. 0.74 in the VKA group (HR: 0.49; 95% CI: 0.05 to 5.54; p = 0.56). A positive net clinical benefit (NCB) of Edoxaban over VKAs was found (+1.39). Insulin therapy (HR: 1.76, p = 0.004) and glycated hemoglobin (HR: 1.17, p = 0.002) were found to be independent predictors of TE; moreover, the concomitant use of antiplatelet drugs (HR: 2.41, p = 0.001) was an independent predictor of MB. Conclusions: Our data support the hypothesis of the safety and efficacy of Edoxaban for use in patients with AF and diabetes, justified by a favorable NCB over VKAs.

Abstract Background A decline of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) has been described in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients on Vitamin K antagonists (VKAs). Few real-world data on the modifications of eGFR in AF patients treated with non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) do exist. Purpose To evaluate changes of renal function in AF patients treated with VKAs or NOACs. Methods Multicentre prospective cohort study including 1,667 patients with non-valvular AF from 5 clinical centres of Internal Medicine and Cardiology in Italy. Renal endpoints were: 1) median annual decline of eGFR; 2) transition to eGFR <50 ml/min/1.73 m2; 3) eGFR class worsening according to KDIGO 2012 classification. The eGFR was assessed by the CKD-EPI formula at baseline and during follow-up. Results Median age was 73.7±9.1 years and 43.3% were women. 743 patients were on VKAs and 924 on NOACs (Dabigatran, Rivaroxaban e Apixaban). Median annual eGFR decline was −2,11 (Interquartile Range [IQR] −5,68/−0,62] in patients on VKAs, −0,27 [IQR −9,00/4,54] with Dabigatran (p<0.001 vs. VKAs), −1,21 [IQR −9,98/4,02] with Rivaroxaban (p=0.004 vs. VKAs) and −1,32 [IQR −8,7/3,99] with Apixaban (p=0.003, vs. VKAs). Use of Dabigatran and Apixaban was associated to a lower transition to eGFR <50 mL/min/1.73 m2, compared to VKAs: adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR) 0.492, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 0.298–0.813, p=0.006 for Dabigatran; aOR 0.449, 95% CI 0.276–0.728, p=0.001 for Apixaban). Regarding the eGFR class worsening, Dabigatran (aOR 0.70, 95% CI 0.503–0.975, p=0.035), Rivaroxaban (aOR 0.591, 95% CI 0.423–0.825, p=0.002), and Apixaban (aOR 0.591, 95% CI 0.429–0.815, p=0.001) were all associated to a lower rate of eGFR class worsening compared to VKAs. Forest plot Conclusions In this prospective multicentre cohort study, NOACs use was associated with a lower decline of renal function compared to VKAs. Patients on Dabigatran showed the lowest annual rate of eGFR decline and those on Apixaban and Rivaroxaban a lower eGFR class worsening. Acknowledgement/Funding None
