| アブストラクト | Aim: Venous thromboembolism (VTE), which comprises deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, poses a global disease burden. Vitamin K antagonists have traditionally been the mainstay of treatment; however, the non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) are emerging as an alternative. The relative use of these treatment classes in the real world is unknown. Patients & methods: We performed a retrospective study using data from the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink to understand VTE treatment patterns. Results: NOACs have unseated vitamin K antagonist as the main form of VTE patient treatment in England. Conclusion: The data highlight how comfortable physicians have become in using NOACs to treat VTE in England and it is likely that the increasing use of NOACs will continue. |
