Table 2. Baseline characteristics of the ORBIT-AF study population by guideline
recommendation. Since the publication of the 2006
ACC/AHA/ESC atrial fibrillation (AF)
treatment guidelines, the face of AF
management has changed considerably
Minor risk factors for stroke in AF, including coronary artery disease, age 65-74, and
female sex, have recently been validated in
independent AF cohorts
The 2014 AHA/ACC/HRS AF treatment guidelines reflect this new emphasis,
supporting the use of CHA2DS2-VASc as
the basis for antithrombotic treatment
recommendations, as well as a revised risk
threshold for treatment
The potential impact of the new guideline on the proportion of patients recommended
for OAC treatment is unknown.
Assess the magnitude of the potential impact of the new guideline on the
proportion of AF patients recommended for
OAC treatment
Estimate the potential increase in number of AF patients treated with OAC expected
with adoption of the new guideline.
The ORBIT-AF study is the nations largest outpatient registry of patients with AF who
are managed by primary care providers,
cardiologists, and electrophysiologists
Data collection occurs at 6 month intervals for a median of 2 years and includes
demographics, medical history,
cardiovascular risk factors, treatment
strategy, and provider information
The percentage of patients in each possible cross-classification of CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc
score were calculated to create OAC
recommendation groups under each guideline
Baseline characteristics at study enrollment were compared by recommendation group using the
Kruskal-Wallis test for continuous variables and
the Chi-square test for categorical variables
The percentages of patients in each antithrombotic treatment group (None, OAC alone, aspirin alone,
OAC and aspirin) were calculated for each
combination of the two stroke risk scores (CHADS2 =0 and CHA2DS2-VASc =0-3; CHADS2 =1 and
CHA2DS2-VASc=1-4)
Changes in OAC recommendations and antithrombotic use were examined by age (65) and sex
