Abstract Aims Oral anticoagulation (OAC) therapy as secondary stroke prophylaxis in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unexplored and poses a clinical treatment dilemma. We assessed the long-term risk of thromboembolic events according to post-stroke OAC therapy in AF patients with CKD after their first ischaemic stroke. Methods and results We identified Danish AF patients with CKD who presented with first-time ischaemic stroke from 2005 to 2014. Chronic kidney disease was defined as a diagnosis code for CKD before baseline, defined as 100 days after stroke discharge. Post-stroke antithrombotic therapy (OAC therapy and antiplatelet therapy) was identified from prescription claims from discharge to baseline. Cumulative incidences and adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) of thromboembolic events according to post-stroke OAC therapy were examined. Of 1252 AF patients with CKD presenting with ischaemic stroke, 631 (50.4%) patients were on OAC therapy and 621 (49.6%) were on antiplatelet therapy alone at baseline [median age 76 (interquartile range, IQR 71–83) and 80 (IQR 72–86), respectively]. The median follow-up period was 1.9 years (IQR 0.8–3.6). Cumulative incidence rates of thromboembolic events and bleeding showed no significant difference between those on OAC therapy and antiplatelet therapy. The results from the multivariable analysis revealed similar results: thromboembolic risk was not modified by OAC treatment [adjusted HR 0.89, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.73–1.09] nor was the risk of bleeding (adjusted HR 0.88, 95% CI 0.67–1.17). Conclusion Oral anticoagulation in patients with CKD and prior stroke was not associated with a reduced risk of recurrent thromboembolic events compared with antiplatelet therapy.

Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are closely related conditions with shared risk factors. The growing prevalence of both AF and CKD indicates that more patients will suffer from concurrent conditions. There are various complex interlinking mechanisms with important implications for the management of these patients. Furthermore, there is uncertainty regarding the use of oral anticoagulation (OAC) in AF and CKD that is reflected by a lack of consensus between international guidelines. Therefore, the importance of understanding the implications of co-existing AF and CKD should not be underestimated. In this review, we discuss the pathophysiology and association between AF and CKD, including the underlying mechanisms, risk of thrombo-embolic and bleeding complications, influence on stroke management, and evidence surrounding the use of OAC for stroke prevention.
