Trial Condition(s):
Anticoagulation preference by AF patients study (PRiSMA-AF)
The main research question of this patient survey is to assess AF (Atrial Fibrillation) patients’ preferences associated with different attributes which describe the different available anticoagulation treatment options (Vitamin K Antagonists [VKA] or New Oral Anticoagulants [NOACs] and, in case of NOACs, Apixaban, Dabigatran, Edoxaban or Rivaroxaban).
VKAs (Marcoumar®, Sintrom ®) will be grouped together and compared to Rivaroxaban.
Inclusion criteria for AF patients in both the NOAC and the VKA groups: - Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (persistent, paroxysmal, permanent), - Age of at least 18 years at time of study inclusion, - Generally willingness (informed consent) and ability to fill out a survey on satisfaction with treatment and quality of life, and to conduct a structured phone interview (approx. 20 - 30 min) in German language. Additional inclusion criterion for Group 1 (NOAC): - Continuous anticoagulation with either Apixaban, or Dabigatran or Rivaroxaban for prevention of Stroke & systemic embolism for at least the previous 3 months. Additional inclusion criterion for Group 2 (VKA): - Continuous anticoagulation with a VKA for prevention of Stroke & systemic embolism for at least the previous 3 months.
Exclusion criteria for both groups: - Participation in another study (clinical intervention / observational) within the 3 months prior to enrollment, - Interruption of VKA/NOAC therapy of more than 2 weeks (bridging) within the prior 3 months or planned bridging in 4 weeks after study inclusion.
