Adherence and persistence with direct oral anticoagulants by dose regimen: A systematic review
Introduction Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are used in patients with non‐valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) to prevent complications such as embolic events. Poor adherence to DOACs increases the risk of these complications. This manuscript reviews the impact of once‐daily (OD) vs twice‐daily (BID) dosing regimens on adherence and persistence to ...
