Adjusted HR (65%CI) for ischemic stroke when PDC* < 80% Association between OD and BID DOAC adherence in NVAF patients and rates of ischemic stroke 1,5 1 0,5 0 +50 % All DOAC users +47 % Oncedaily users +50 % Twicedaily users Suboptimal adherence to DOACs was found to be associated with an increased hazard of ischemic stroke Patients prescribed DOACs requiring twice-daily dosing were less adherent than once-daily users. These results did not support the hypothesis that twice-daily dosing of a DOAC is more forgiving in the presence of suboptimal adherence Adapted from Alberts MJ et al, Int J Cardiol 2016;215:11-3 CI= confidence interval; HR= hazard ratio; N= sample size; DOAC= direct oral anticoagulant; PDC= proportion of days covered; Pys = person years. a PDC < 80% represents suboptimal adherence. b p < 0.001 compared to once-daily DOAC use.

Conclusions Real world data confirm the safety and effectiveness profile of rivaroxaban when compared to randomized clinical trial data The adherence and persistence are poor in warfarin users but are also not optimal in direct oral anticoagulants Adherence and persistence are higher in Rivaroxaban users when compared to warfarin and twice day direct oral anticoagulants users
