Abstract

The prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in end-stage renal failure is high, with an increased risk of stroke among these patients with AF compared with the AF population without severe renal impairment. Many trials have shown the net clinical benefit of oral anticoagulation therapy for primary and secondary prevention of stroke in patient populations with AF. However, current stroke risk stratification schemes are based on studies that have deliberately excluded patients with severe renal impairment. Indeed, there are no large randomized controlled trials that assess the real risk/benefit of full intensity anticoagulation in patients with severe renal impairment. Also, rates of major bleeding episodes in anticoagulated hemodialysis patients with AF are high. These data are influenced by the lack of appropriate monitoring, the difficulties in maintaining the international normalized ratio target (variable between the studies), and an inaccurate bleeding classification. Thus, the limited available data may be difficult to apply to such a heterogeneous patient population, characterized by both an increased risk of bleeding and a hypercoagulability state, as seen in the patient population with severe renal impairment.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
