Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) are increasingly used for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation. At the Asia Pacific Advancing Patient care with EdoXaban 2023 meeting, experts shared insights on gastrointestinal bleeding with NOACs for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation in Asian clinical practice, where NOACs have gained widespread acceptance due to their favourable profiles. Gastrointestinal bleeding risk varies amongst NOACs, emphasizing the importance of diligent patient assessment, dosage selection and vigilant monitoring. Edoxaban emerged as a viable option with a low gastrointestinal bleeding risk profile in Asian compared with non-Asian patients, supporting its continued clinical utilization for appropriate patients.
非维生素K拮抗剂口服抗凝药(NOACs)越来越多地用于心房颤动的卒中预防。在2023年亚太地区依度沙班推进患者护理会议上,专家们分享了关于在亚洲临床实践中使用NOACs预防心房颤动卒中时胃肠道出血的见解,在亚洲,NOACs因其良好的特性而获得广泛认可。不同NOACs的胃肠道出血风险各不相同,这凸显了对患者进行认真评估、选择合适剂量以及进行密切监测的重要性。与非亚洲患者相比,依度沙班在亚洲患者中呈现出胃肠道出血风险较低的特性,是一种可行的选择,这支持其继续在合适的患者中进行临床应用。
