Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the real-world risks of stroke/systemic embolism (SE) and major bleeding (MB) among patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) who switch from warfarin to direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) like apixaban, dabigatran, and rivaroxaban.
- Data was collected from U.S. commercial claims databases between 2012 and 2019, focusing on NVAF patients switching from warfarin to DOACs within 90 days, and employing statistical models to assess risks.
- Findings suggest that apixaban offers a significantly lower risk of stroke/SE and MB compared to dabigatran, while having a similar
Military families are exposed to a unique constellation of risk factors, which may impact maltreatment outcomes. The present study examined prospective relationships between demographic, health, birth-related, and military-specific risk factors identified prior to a child's birth on their risk for maltreatment in the first two years of life. Data from the Millennium Cohort Study, Department of Defense (DoD) operational records and Family Advocacy Program data on met-criteria maltreatment, and Birth and Infant Health Research program data on suspected maltreatment were linked for 9076 service member parents.
