In this activity, an expert in hospital and vascular medicine discusses how real-world data enhance the data from randomized clinical trials on direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for stroke prevention in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and offers insight on applying evidence from both real-world studies and randomized clinical trials to improve patient care. Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to: Identify the role of real-world data and evidence in augmenting the efficacy and safety data that have been collected as part of clinical trials for stroke prevention among patients with NVAF, Compare and contrast evidence collected to date from real-world studies with data reported from clinical trials of DOACs to prevent stroke among patients with NVAF, Apply evidence from real-world studies and clinical trials of DOACs in patients with NVAF
