| Abstract: | PurposeThe effectiveness and tolerability of a reduced dose (110 mg) of dabigatran versus the standard dose (150 mg) were evaluated in subgroups of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) at high bleeding risk.MethodsEligible patients were adults with AF and a creatinine clearance rate ≥30 mL/min who were initiated on treatment with dabigatran (index) between 2016 and 2018. High–bleeding-risk subgroups were identified: (1) age ≥80 years; (2) moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance rate 30–<50 mL/min); and (3) recent bleeding or a HAS-BLED score of ≥3. Fine-Gray subdistribution hazard regression models with inverse probability of treatment weights were used to investigate associations between dabigatran dose and three outcomes: stroke or systemic embolism, major bleeding requiring hospitalization, and all-cause mortality.FindingsAmong 7858 patients with AF and a high bleeding risk (age ≥80 years, 3472; moderate renal impairment, 1574; recent bleeding or HAS-BLED score ≥3, 2812), 32.3% received reduced-dose dabigatran. Compared with the standard dose, use of the reduced dose of dabigatran was not associated with an increased risk for stroke or systemic embolism but was associated with a lower risk for major bleeding (HR = 0.65; 95% CI, 0.44–0.95) and all-cause mortality (HR = 0.78; 95% CI, 0.65–0.92) in patients aged ≥80 years. The use of reduced-dose dabigatran was associated with a lower risk for major bleeding (HR = 0.54; 95% CI, 0.30–0.95) and all-cause mortality among patients with moderate renal impairment (HR = 0.53; 95% CI, 0.40–0.71).ImplicationsLower risks for bleed and mortality associated with reduced- versus standard-dose dabigatran in patients with AF and a high bleeding risk suggest a better dosing strategy. |
