Incidence, predictors of bleeding and prognosis of bleeding in anticoagulated nonagenarian patients with atrial fibrillation.

Background: The prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) increases with age. The prescription of anticoagulation in very elderly patients is controversial and sometimes underused. Our objective is to report the incidence and predictors of major bleeding in anticoagulated nonagenarian patients with non valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF).
