Old and new oral anticoagulants in the management of atrial fibrillation. Hungarian data

INTRODUCTION: Despite a progress in the management of patients with atrial fibrillation this arrhythmia is one of the major causes of stroke, heart failure, sudden death and cardiovascular morbidity. Oral anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonist or non-vitamin K antagonist markedly reduces stroke and mortality in atrial fibrillation patients.

AIM: To estimate the real-life vitamin K antagonist and non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant treatment in past years in Hungary.

METHOD: Analysis of the National Health Insurance Administation database for atrial fibrillation (BNO: I48) between 2010-2015. We assumed that AF patient would turn to health care provides at least once either as inpatients or outpatients in a 5-year period. The patient was accepted as adherent after 6 months therapy and at least 80% oral anticoagulant prescription.

RESULTS: The prevalence of AF in Hungary is 3%. The mortality rate of AF 7%-10% per year. The adherence of the old oral anticoagulant treatment was 55%, but it was 69% among patient treated by "new" oral anticoagulant treatment. However, one third of the patients are not treated by effective old or new oral anticoagulant treatment.

CONCLUSIONS: We need more effort to improve the effective and high adherence oral anticoagulant therapy in our country. Orv Hetil. 2017; 158(39): 1545-1549.
