Findings have been released from the largest real-world data (RWD) analysis of non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients receiving direct oral anticoagulants.

The presentation is one of nine abstracts from the RWD analysis alliance, involving the US drugmakers Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY) and Pfizer (NYSE: PFE), being presented at the American College of Cardiology's 67th Annual Scientific Session & Expo.

In the analysis, Eliquis (apixaban) use was associated with significantly lower rates of both stroke/systemic embolism and major bleeding when compared to Bayer’s (BAYN: DE) top-selling drug Xarelto (rivaroxaban) and Boehringer Ingelheim's Pradaxa (dabigatran).
