Summary:Independent predictors of OAC therapy were heart failure (OR 1.4; 95% CI 1.0-1.9), prior stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA) (OR 2.2; 95% CI 1.5-3.3), more concomitant medications (OR 1.7; 95% CI 1.3-2.2), commercial insurance (OR 1.5; 95% CI 1.1-2.0), non-paroxysmal AF (OR 1.9; 95% CI 1.5-2.6) and advanced age (coefficients for age and age^2: 0.1761, p=0.0003 and -0.00092, p=0.0097, respectively).
