430 Risk factors for major bleeding in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and CKD G3-G5D on oral anticoagulants

Abstract Background and Aims We previously published a register-based cohort study comparing direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) and warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) GFR category 3-5 (G3-G5) including patients on dialysis (G5D) (1). This study showed that DOAC was associated with lower risk of major bleeding but similar risk of ischemic stroke compared to warfarin. Bleedings were however more common than strokes, especially in advanced CKD (G5-G5D) where the risk of major bleeding was up to 10 times higher than the risk of stroke. Subsequently, the stroke- and bleeding risk in patients with AF and advanced CKD must be carefully evaluated when deciding on whether to prescribe oral anticoagulants (OAC) or not. Available stroke- and bleeding scoring systems do not perform well in CKD (2, 3). This study aims to present risk factors associated with major bleeding in a Swedish cohort of OAC-treated patients with CKD G3-G5D. Method Data was collected from high quality Swedish healthcare registers including Swedish Renal Registry and Auricula, a register for atrial fibrillation and oral anticoagulants and the National Patient Register.
