Adjusting factors: age, sex, body mass index, history of bleeding, type of AF, systolic blood pressure, severe hepatic disease, diabetes, hyperuricaemia, heart failure and/or reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular disease, thromboembolic disease, active cancer, dementia, fall within 1 year, anticoagulants, history of catheter ablation, creatinine clearance, digestive diseases, polypharmacy, and use of antiarrhythmic drugs, antiplatelet agents, proton pump inhibitors, P-glycoprotein inhibitors, and anti-hyperlipidaemia drugs. CI: confidence interval, DOAC: direct oral anticoagulants, GI: gastrointestinal, HR: hazard ratio.
