Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To compare anticoagulant efficacy and safety of dabigatran etexilate and warfarin in the treatment of non-valvular atrial fibrillation(NVAF). METHODS:In retrospective analysis,360 NVAF patients were divided into control group (180 cases)and observation group(180 cases)according to therapy plan. Control group was given Warfarin sodium tablet with ini-tial dose of 2.5 mg orally,once a day,adjusted dosage according to INR. Observation group was given Dabigatran etexilate cap-sule 150 mg with warm water,twice a day,during or after meal. The levels of ALT,AST and INR,the occurrence of ADR were observed in 2 groups before treatment and 1,3 month after treatment. RESULTS:There was no statistical significance in the levels of ALT or AST between 2 groups before and after treatment (P>0.05). Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in INR between 2 groups (P>0.05),1,3 months after treatment,INR in control group was significantly higher than before treat-ment,with statistical significance(P<0.05);there was no statistical significance in the INR of observation group before and after treatment(P>0.05);but INR of 2 groups ranged were in normal range. There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Anticoagnlant efficacy of dabigatran etexilate is significantly better than war-farin for NVAF. Both have similar safety.
