Retrospective study of total healthcare costs associated with chronic nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and the occurrence of a first transient ischemic attack, stroke or major bleed
Current Medical Research and Opinion, 10/12/09
occuzzi SJ et al. – Post–AF total direct healthcare costs were 3 times greater than pre–AF costs. For those with a TIA, IS or MB, post–AF total direct healthcare costs increased 4.5 times from pre–AF costs; overall post–event costs in this cohort increased 25% over pre–event costs. Nearly half of the events occurred within 1 month of a claim associated with an AF diagnosis. Warfarin exposure appeared to be associated with lower pmpm costs in this population.
