Direct active-comparator analyses compared apixaban with rivaroxaban and warfarin.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The study comprised 26 940 nursing home residents (median [IQR] age, 82 [74,88] years; 17 504 [65.0%] female), including PS-matched cohorts of 7600 residents receiving apixaban, 2654 receiving rivaroxaban, and 3216 receiving warfarin. Compared with nonuse, use of all OACs was associated with lower rates of ischemic stroke (apixaban: ARR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.38-0.73; rivaroxaban: ARR, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.27-0.87; warfarin: ARR, 0.47; 95% CI, 0.25-0.88) and higher rates of major bleeding (apixaban: ARR, 1.62; 95% CI, 1.29-2.03; rivaroxaban: ARR, 2.68; 95% CI, 1.84-3.93; warfarin: ARR, 3.02; 95% CI, 2.15-4.25). Only apixaban was not associated with a higher composite outcome (ARR, 1.08; 95% CI, 0.90-1.30), whereas rivaroxaban (ARR, 1.62; 95% CI, 1.20-2.18) and warfarin (ARR, 1.99; 95% CI, 1.50-2.63) were associated with higher rates. Findings were consistent across frailty strata, although stroke reduction with apixaban was attenuated among frail individuals. Tipping-point analyses indicated a more favorable benefit-risk balance for apixaban than for rivaroxaban or warfarin.</p><p><strong>Conclusions and relevance: </strong>Among nursing home residents with AF and ADL disability, OAC use was associated with lower ischemic stroke but higher major bleeding rates than nonuse. Apixaban demonstrated the most favorable benefit-risk profile among the OACs evaluated. These findings may inform individualized anticoagulation decisions.</p>","PeriodicalId":14694,"journal":{"name":"JAMA Network Open","volume":"9 10","pages":"e2637533"},"PeriodicalIF":11.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13639757/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149109647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
