Aims: Evidence supporting the prescription of anticoagulant therapy for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been limited, and its clinical application in this context remains controversial.
Methods: We identified AF patients with advanced CKD (G4-G5) and a history of stroke who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University between January 1, 2011, and June 30, 2023. Patients were classified into warfarin, non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant (NOAC), antiplatelet therapy, and control (no antithrombotic therapy) groups.
