Meta-analyses of antithrombotic therapies in patients with atrial fibrillation: pooled data from randomized trials (reproduced from Singer et al.,[82] with permission)
| Treatment comparison | RRR for ischaemic stroke (95% CI) |
|---|---|
| Adjusted-dose OAC vs no antithrombotic therapy[84] | 68% (50, 79) |
| ASA vs no antithrombotic therapy[85] | 21% (0, 38) |
| Adjusted-dose OAC vs ASA[83] | 52% (37, 63) |
ASA = aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid); OAC = oral anticoagulation; RRR = relative risk reduction.
