Figures & data

Table 1. Baseline demographics and clinical characteristics of the stroke/no stroke and major bleeding/no major bleeding matched cohorts.

Figure 1. All-cause healthcare cost comparison PPPY over the entire follow-up period—patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation using NOACs.

aStatistical differences between cohorts (95% CI) were obtained using non-parametric bootstrap procedure methods with 999 replications. Abbreviations. NOAC, non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant; PPPY, per patient per year; SE, systemic embolism; CI, confidence interval.
