Real-World Effectiveness and Safety of Apixaban versus Warfarin in Patients with Acute Venous Thromboembolism: Experience of a Large Tertiary Hospital in Saudi Arabia

Abstract: Purpose The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of apixaban versus warfarin in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) in a “real-world” setting. Patients and Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from a large tertiary hospital in Saudi Arabia. Patients were included if they were adults (≥18 years), diagnosed with VTE, and treated with either apixaban or warfarin between January 2016 and September 2018. Pa… Show more

“…Warfarin is widely recognized as a prominent pharmaceutical agent derived from coumarin [ 45 ]. This medication is classified as an original anticoagulant that has received approval for its efficacy in reducing the likelihood of blood clot formation [ 46 ] and preventing strokes in individuals with atrial fibrillation and/or those who have undergone cardiac valve replacement surgery [ 47 ]. The introduction of structural alterations to the coumarin scaffold not only results in the development of novel anticoagulants, but also induces a shift in the biological properties of newly synthesized coumarin analogs towards antispasmodic, vasodilating, antiproliferative, antibiotic, and chemoprotective activities [ 48 ].…”
