What is Standard Dose of Rivaroxaban in Elderly Asian Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: 20ms versus. 15mg?

Although there is no age criterion for rivaroxaban dose reduction, elderly patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are often prescribed an off-label reduced dose. We aimed to evaluate whether age is a necessary criterion for rivaroxaban dose reduction in Korean patients with AF. Among 2208 patients who prescribed warfarin or rivaroxaban, 552 patients over 75 years without renal dysfunction (creatinine clearance >50 mL/min) were compared based on propensity score matching.
