BACKGROUND: In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have been utilized as an alternative to warfarin, which is known to have several limitations. This study aimed to clarify the selection criteria for anticoagulants, considering both individual patient factors and the differences between various drugs.
METHODS: This study conducted a web-based questionnaire from September 20, 2023 to October 3, 2023, among physicians who were members of a cardiology-specific website.
RESULTS: In total, 172 respondents were enrolled in this study. Edoxaban was the most frequently selected anticoagulant (39.1%), followed by apixaban (32.7%) and rivaroxaban (16.8%). Logistic regression analysis revealed that increased concern for adherence enhanced the frequency of selecting edoxaban (odds ratio [OR] = 2.42; p = 0.047), with the opposite trend observed for dabigatran (OR = 0.404; p = 0.029). The selection of apixaban is related to whether the patient is able to maintain a regular lifestyle, including adherence to medication schedules (OR = 1.874; p = 0.031). Furthermore, detailing activities from a medical representative, especially regarding a new indication, were found to influence drug selection for rivaroxaban (OR = 2.422; p = 0.047).
CONCLUSION: This study revealed that edoxaban is the most frequently selected anticoagulant. Although prescribing cardiologists select drugs based on background factors, adherence to medication and information from medical representatives were also crucial factors in the selection process.
