Background: Between 2002 and 2016, 2.
Background: In older patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), cognitive impairment and frailty are prevalent. It is unknown whether the risk and benefit of anticoagulation differ by cognitive function and frailty.
Methods: A total of 1244 individuals with AF with age ≥65 years and a CHADSVASC score ≥2 were recruited from clinics in Massachusetts and Georgia between 2016 and 18 and followed until 2020.
