BACKGROUND: Antithrombotic treatment in atrial fibrillation should be guided by the risk of thromboembolic events. Although practice studies have shown underutilization of antithrombotics, it is not clear whether physicians make use of thromboembolic risk stratification in their treatment decisions, as recommended in current guidelines.OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to assess which clinical determinants influence coumarin and aspirin prescription in patients with atrial fibrillation in primary care.METHODS: In a cross-sectional study of 15 computerized general practices covering 38 000 patients in The Netherlands, we identified patients with atrial fibrillation using several search algorithms. Determinants of antithrombotic the...
