Inappropriate Prescriptions of Direct Oral Anticoagulants among Patients with Atrial Fibrillation in General Practice: a Cross-sectional Analysis of the French CACAO Cohort Study

In this analysis (n=438), 39.4% received at least one inappropriate DOAC prescription – mainly under-dosing (31.3%). Factors independently associated with under-dosing were older age, those with kidney failure, a higher risk for ischemic stroke and/or a higher risk for bleeding.
