Study description

This multi-database observational study will estimate the extent to which the effect of direct oral anticoagulants versus warfarin on cardiovascular outcomes is mediated through their differential impact on extracranial MB rates. This causal mediation analysis will utilize real-world data and novel advanced statistical techniques to model the mediation effects, controlling for confounding factors that could influence both bleeding risk and cardiovascular outcomes. Causal validity study diagnostics with have been applied during protocol development to support evidence reliability.
