2018 KHRS Practical Guide on the Use of Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants in Korean Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: How to Initiate and Organize the Follow-up

Abstract: Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) are alternatives to vitamin K antagonists to prevent stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) and have emerged as the preferred choice. The use of NOACs is rapidly increasing in Korea after coverage by insurance since 2015. However, the rate of prescribing anticoagulants in Korean patients with AF remains low compared to other countries. Most of the NOAC anticoagulant prescriptions are issued at hospitals. As the prevalence rate of AF in… Show more

“…Firstly, we evaluated total of 283 ESKD patients who recently initiated DOAC therapy and compared the outcomes with those on warfarin. Despite the 2018 Korean Heart Rhythm Society (KHRS) Practical Guidelines not recommending DOAC use in hemodialysis (HD) patients [16], this study provides real-world evidence regarding DOAC use in ESKD patients. Anti-coagulation in ESKD patients is very difficult.…”

“…KHRS recommends tailoring DOACs selection according to clinical situations in the general population. For instance, in cases of recurrent ischemic stroke despite appropriate anticoagulant therapy, dabigatran administration is suggested, while in high-risk groups for GI bleeding, apixaban or dabigatran administration is preferred [16]. However, many HD patients are prescribed DOAC in real world.…”

“…Increased use of apixaban and decreased use of dabigatran in the presence of renal disease are consistent with reports on renal elimination rates. The renal elimination rates for each NOAC are as follows: 80% for dabigatran, 50% for edoxaban, 33% for rivaroxaban, and 27% for apixaban, 43,47 and according to recent guidelines, apixaban can be used with relatively no dose adjustment for a wide range of renal functions. 29…”

“…Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs), such as dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban, have been approved for use in Korea. 3 NOACs with direct thrombin inhibition (dabigatran) and direct active factor Xa inhibition (rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban) pathways have a large therapeutic potential, a fixed dosing regimen, and few interactions with food or drugs. In addition, regular monitoring of international normalized ratio (INR) levels is not essential.…”
