Abstract
We performed a meta-analysis of the safety and efficacy of anticoagulation treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF) in relation to renal function. We also examined the change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) from baseline and compared the outcomes for patients with stable and worsening renal function. We selected studies that used randomized controlled trials in which outcomes for direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) (dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, or edoxaban) were compared with those for warfarin in AF patients with normal, mild or moderate renal function, except the severe one (creatinine clearance<30). We assessed five clinical trials, involving 72,608 patients. Pooled analysis indicated that the risk of stroke was lower for DOACs than for warfarin among patients with mild renal impairment (Risk ratio, 0.79; 95% confidence interval, 0.68-0.91) and moderate renal impairment (0.80, 0.69-0.92). No major differences were found in patients with normal renal function. Additionally, DOACs were associated with fewer major bleeds among patients with normal (0.77, 0.70-0.84), mild (0.86, 0.77-0.95), and moderate renal impairment (0.73, 0.65-0.82). Among those treated with DOACs, a lower dosage was associated with lower ...Continue Reading
