About this study
Official title: Benchmarking an Oral Anticoagulant Treatment Rate in Patients With Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation: A Study of Clinical Characteristics With Insight From Patient and Physician Perspectives
The purpose of this study is to establish a benchmark for rate of prescription of oral anticoagulants (OA) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) seen in an ambulatory care setting, based on independent medical assessment of clinical data and physician and patient surveys. The study will also assess reasons for not prescribing OA to prevent thromboembolic complications in patients with NVAF seen in ambulatory care, and patients' perspectives of non-use of OA for treatment of NVAF.
Read the detailed description
At participating centers within the American College of Cardiology's (ACC) PINNACLE Registry, patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation who, according to ACC guidelines, are indicated as having an indication for oral anticoagulants (OA), but who are not receiving them, will be identified. Recruitment of participating physicians will also take place through collaboration with the PINNACLE Registry. Physician and patient participants will be asked to complete clinical surveys characterizing use and perception of OA therapy for each individual patient. The Baim Institute for Clinical Research (Baim Institute) serves as an analytic center for the PINNACLE Registry and will collaboratively lead this project with the ACC. The information collected from the PINNACLE Registry will include patient characteristics, site characteristics (volume, region, etc.) and the treating physician characteristics. Information from the patient and physician surveys will provide the clinical reasons for prior nontreatment as assessed by the treating physicians as well as the patients' perception of OA treatment (overall and according to pre-specified subgroups based on patient and site characteristics). Information will also be gathered from the patients' chart.
The above data will be compiled and reviewed by a committee of cardiologists who will assess whether OA treatment would be appropriate based on all the clinical factors assessed.
The BOAT-AF data will be linked to data from the PINNACLE Registry for the patients for whom surveys have been collected. Linking the two datasets will allow assessment of whether or not the participating physicians prescribed OA treatment and whether those patients started OA treatment within approximately 12 months after completing the questionnaire.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
A benchmark rate of OA treatment in patients with NVAF
This rate of OA will be based on assessment of appropriateness of OA treatment based on clinical guidelines by cardiologists using clinical data and the physician and patient surveys.
Measured: Baseline
Secondary outcomes (1)
Physician Reason for not prescribing OA; Patient perspectives on non-use of OA
Information from the patient and physician surveys will provide the clinical reasons for prior nontreatment as assessed by the treating physicians as well as the patients' perception of OA treatment (overall and according to pre-specified subgroups based on patient and site characteristics). Information will also be gathered from the patients' charts.
Measured: Baseline
