Abstract
Data on oral anticoagulant (OAC) uptake and pattern of use are limited. Real‐life data in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are important for understanding patient exposure. A cohort study of new OAC users was built to assess trends of drug use from 2011 to 2017, persistence rate, switching rate, adherence level, and predictors of adherence.
