Fig. 2 — Preferences about characteristics of oral anticoagulants, ^a stratified by whether patients were initially prescribed warfarin or a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC): 2016 ( n = 519). ( A ) Initially prescribed warfarin. (B) Initially prescribed a DOAC. ^a Full questions from survey: I am comfortable using a blood thinner where the levels cannot be followed. • Regular blood tests to monitor a blood thinner's level would make me less likely to use that blood thinner. • It is difficult for me to change my diet, so I can take a particular medication. • I prefer a blood thinner that is reversible. • I am comfortable using the newest drug versus an older but more established drug.
