Impact of gender on event rates at 1 year in patients with newly diagnosed non-valvular atrial fibrillation: contemporary perspective from the GARFIELD-AF registry.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Global Anticoagulant Registry in the FIELD-Atrial Fibrillation (GARFIELD-AF) explored the impact of gender, risk factors and anticoagulant (AC) treatment on 1-year outcomes in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF).

Design

GARFIELD-AF is a prospective non-interventional registry.

Setting

Investigator sites (n=1048) are representative of the care settings/locations in each of the 35 countries.

Participants

Patients ≥18yrs with newly diagnosed (≤6 weeks' duration) NVAF and ≥1 investigator-determined stroke risk factors.

Main outcome measures

Event rates per 100 person-years were estimated from the Poisson model and HRs and 95% CIs calculated.

Results

Of 28 624 patients (women 44.4%; men 55.6%) enrolled, there were more elde
