DEBATE: DOAC vs Good Old Warfarin Objectives Recognize the benefits and harms associated with DOACs for the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic events Recognize the benefits and harms associated with warfarin for the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic events Compare and contrast the benefits and harms of DOACs versus warfarin in complex patients with multiple comorbidities A. Roussin MD
DOAC vs VKA (warfarin) Pharmacological aspects Warfarin DOAC Onset of action Slow (5 days) and unpredictable Rapid (2 hours) and predictable Dosing Variable and difficult Fixed, according to creatinine Food interactions Numerous None (except rivaroxaban: meal) Drug interactions Very long list Few CKD No impact Impact if severe (Clear < 25-30) Liver disease Impact on warfarin and coagulation factors Contra-indicated Child-Pugh B + C A.

Real-world EVIdence on Stroke prevention In patients with atrial Fibrillation in the US Objective: To assess the real-world effectiveness and safety of newly-initiated rivaroxaban or apixaban compared to warfarin in NVAF patients 38,831 patients Rivaroxaban vs Warfarin 18, 591 patients Apixaban vs Warfarin Coleman CI et al, ESC 2016: P2576
Rivaroxaban vs Warfarin Rivaroxaban was associated with a significant* 47% reduction in ICH vs. warfarin 29% non-significant decrease in ischaemic stroke vs. warfarin Significant* 39% reduction in the combined endpoint of ICH and ischemic stroke vs. warfarin Rivaroxaban Warfarin HR (95% CI) Rate (%/year) Rate (%/year) rivaroxaban vs. warfarin HR (95% CI) rivaroxaban vs. warfarin ICH 0.49 0.96 0.53 (0.35 0.79) Ischemic stroke 0.54 0.83 0.71 (0.47 1.07) Combined 0.95 1.6 0.61 (0.45 0.82) *p<0.05 Coleman CI et al, ESC 2016: P2576 Favors rivaroxaban Favors warfarin
Apixaban vs Warfarin Apixaban was associated with a significant* 62% reduction in ICH vs. warfarin 13% non-significant increase in ischemic stroke vs. warfarin Non-significant 37% reduction in the combined endpoint of ICH and ischemic stroke vs. warfarin Apixaban Warfarin HR (95% CI) Rate (%/year) Rate (%/year) apixaban vs. warfarin HR (95% CI) apixaban vs. warfarin ICH 0.38 0.97 0.38 (0.17 0.88) Ischemic stroke 0.56 0.51 1.13 (0.49 2.63) Combined 0.89 1.44 0.63 (0.35 1.12) *p<0.05 Coleman CI et al, ESC 2016: P2576 Favors apixaban Favors warfarin

Using a large US insurance database, we identified privately insured and Medicare Advantage patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation who were users of apixaban, dabigatran, rivaroxaban, or warfarin between October 1, 2010, and June 30, 2015. We created 3 matched cohorts using 1:1 propensity score matching: Apixaban versus warfarin (n = 15 390) Dabigatran versus warfarin (n = 28 614) Rivaroxaban versus warfarin (n = 32 350) Yao X et al. J Am Heart Assoc. 2016
CONCLUSIONS Apixaban was associated with lower risks of both stroke and major bleeding Dabigatran was associated with similar risk of stroke but lower risk of major bleeding Rivaroxaban was associated with similar risks of both stroke and major bleeding in comparison to warfarin
"Strategic" messages DOACs vs VKA vs UHF/LMWH The benefit / risk ratio is better for AF (efficacy + ICH) and for VTE (bleeding) CKD (clear < 25-30 ml/min) and mechanic valves are the major limiting factors for DOACs For cancer related VTE, LMWH are superior to VKA and possibly to DOACs For HIV related VTE, dabigatran and VKA are the best choices For pregnancy, LMWH are superior to VKA and DOACs
