1 SEPTEMBER 2012 CCPN SPAF Tool STROKE PREVENTION IN ATRIAL FIBRILLATION (SPAF): POCKET REFERENCE Approximately 20% of all strokes are attributable to Atrial Fibrillation (AF). 1 Of these, 20% will result in death and 60% will result in disability. Given this, it is important to ensure appropriate antithrombotic therapy for those at risk for cardioembolic stroke. This pocket reference summarizes the therapeutic options for the prevention of stroke in patients with non-valvular AF. It does not address patients with rheumatic heart or patients with transient, self-limited AF associated with an acute illness or secondary cause. It is intended only as a general reference to supplement the existing knowledge of healthcare professionals and is NOT a substitute for the sound clinical judgement of the knowledgeable healthcare professional. The authors, editors, or CCPN cannot be held responsible for any harm, direct or indirect, caused as a result of the application of the information contained in this resource.
2 step 1 Determine your patient s risk of stroke using CHADS 2 Score: 2 CHADS 2 Score Finding Points C Congestive Heart Failure 1 point H Hypertension 1 point A Age > 75 years 1 point D Diabetes 1 point S Prior Stroke or TIA 2 points Patients with a CHADS 2 score of 0 could still be at increased risk of stroke and require further risk stratifi cation based on the following characteristics: 3 Age between 65 and 75 years Female sex Known vascular Next, determine your patient s corresponding risk of stroke and recommended stroke prophylaxis: 4 CHADS 2 = 0 Stroke risk is 1.9 per 100 patient years ( ) > 65 years or combination of female sex and vascular Either female sex or vascular No additional risk factors for stroke OAC* ASA No antithrombotic CHADS 2 = 1 or More CHADS 2 Score Stroke Rate per 100 patient years (95% CI) Recommended therapy ( ) OAC* ( ) OAC ( ) OAC ( ) OAC ( ) OAC ( ) OAC * OAC refers to therapeutic (i.e., treatment dose) Oral Anticoagulant Therapy OAC is favoured over ASA, but ASA is reasonable for some 4
3 step 2 step 3 Determine your patient s risk of bleeding On the right is the HAS-BLED risk score 5 (tested in a cohort of European patients with AF). A score > 3 indicates high risk for a patient to experience a bleeding event and hence warrants some caution and regular patient evaluation of antithrombotic therapy. Overlap amongst risk factors for determining risk of stroke and risk of major bleeding is evident, and stroke risk usually exceeds the risk of bleeding. 4 As such, the presence of risk factors for bleeding should not be the sole criteria upon which the decision to anticoagulate or not is made, but may be helpful to stratify in conjunction with other information. The incidence of major bleeding with a HAS-BLED score NOTE: The table provides inter-trial comparative data along with data derived from meta-analyses. Endpoints and defi nitions along with trial populations differ, and caution must be taken in the interpretation. Data presented provides guidance to readers in understanding the comparative benefi ts and risks of therapeutic alternatives. Effi cacy with warfarin is only achieved if patients are appropriately anticoagulated (INR ) at least 60% of the time. 7,8 As time in the therapeutic range falls below 60%, there is an increase in mortality, major bleeding, and stroke severity. 7,8,9 HAS-BLED Score Major Risk %/yr 2 1.9%/yr 3 3.7%/yr 4 8.7%/yr %/yr While certain patient populations may require dual antiplatelet therapy (e.g., ASA + clopidogrel) with anticoagulant therapy (i.e., triple therapy), the risk of bleeding dramatically increases, with population estimates of a 4-fold increased risk compared to warfarin alone 6 * Major bleeding defi ned as a reduction in the hemoglobin level of at least 20 g/l, transfusion of at least 2 units of blood, or symptomatic bleeding in a critical area or organ Major bleeding defi ned as a reduction in the hemoglobin level of at least 20g/L, transfusion of at least 2 units of blood, any critical bleeding which was defi ned by bleeding that was intracranial, intraspinal, intraocular, pericardial, intraarticular, intramuscular (with compartment syndrome) or into the retroperitoneum, or fatal bleeding Balance the benefi ts and risks with available agents Positive Outcomes Comparators Primary endpoint: (95% CI) ASA vs. Placebo 10 All Stroke: (meta-analysis of 5 trials n=2834, 6.86%/yr vs 8.77%/yr; 41% secondary prevention) RRR 22% (2-39) Warfarin vs. Placebo 10 (meta-analysis of 6 trials, n=2900, 20% secondary prevention) All Stroke: 2.21%/yr vs 6.03%/yr; RRR 64% (49-74) Warfarin vs. ASA 10 All Stroke: (meta analysis of 5 trials, n=3647, 2.43%/yr vs 3.81%/yr; 21%secondary prevention) RRR 38% (18-52) Dabigatran 110 mg bid vs warfarin 11 (n=18113) Dabigatran 150 mg bid vs warfarin 11 (n=18113) Rivaroxaban 20 mg daily vs warfarin 12 (n=14264, ITT analysis) Stroke/Systemic Embolism: 1.54%/yr vs 1.71%/yr; RR 0.91 ( ) Stroke/Systemic Embolism: 1.11%/yr vs 1.71%/yr; RR 0.66 ( ) Stroke/Systemic Embolism: 2.1%/yr vs 2.4%/yr; HR 0.88 ( ) Letter Characteristic Score H Hypertension (systolic blood pressure > 160 mmhg) 1 A Abnormal Renal (dialysis, transplant or serum Cr > 200 µmol/l) or Liver function (cirrhosis or bilirubin > 2 x upper limit normal with AST/ALT/Alk Phos > 3 x upper limit normal) (1 point each) 1 or 2 S Stroke 1 B (by history or predisposition, e.g., bleeding diathesis, anemia) 1 L Labile INRs (poor time in INR range [< 60% time in range] or frequent unstable or high INRs) 1 E Elderly (> 65 years) 1 D Drugs (concomitant antiplatelet, NSAIDS) or Alcohol abuse (1 point each) 1 or 2 Maximum Score 9 Safety Endpoints Primary endpoint Primary ARR endpoint Intracranial (NNT) RRR Events/year (95% CI) Hemorrhage Events 1.91%/yr 22% Major Extracranial hemorrhage: 16 vs 15 8 vs 4 (53) 3.82%/yr (26) 1.38%/yr (72) 0.13%/yr (769) 0.56%/yr (177) 0.3%/yr (333) 64% Major Extracranial hemorrhage: 31 vs 17 6 vs 3 38% Major Extracranial hemorrhage: 40 vs vs 7 8% Major bleeding:* 2.71%/yr vs 3.36%/yr; RR 0.80 ( ) 36% Major bleeding:* 3.11%/yr vs 3.36%/yr; RR 0.93 ( ) 12% Major bleeding: 3.6%/yr vs 3.4%/yr; HR 1.04 ( ) 0.23%/yr vs 0.74%/yr; RR 0.31 ( ) 0.30%/yr vs 0.74%/yr; RR 0.40 ( ) 0.5%/yr vs 0.7%/yr; HR 0.67 ( )

If warfarin is held greater than 2 days, consider bridging if patient is at high thromboembolic risk Drug-Drug Interactions Numerous drug interactions are evident with warfarin, and are beyond the scope of this tool. Clinicians should note some of these interactions are delayed, and management of warfarin doses will vary. For a detailed list of drug interactions with management tips, please refer to a published practice tool (www. cpjournal.ca/doi/pdf/ / x ) 16 Dabigatran (Pradax ) 17 Mechanism of Action Direct thrombin inhibitor that binds to both free and clot-bound thrombin and prevents thrombus formation Pharmacokinetics t max : 2 hrs t 1/2 : hrs (t 1/2 ~ 27 hrs if CrCl < 30 ml/min) 18 Elimination: primarily renal (80%) Dosing for Stroke Prophylaxis Establish baseline renal function 150 mg BID OR 110 mg BID for patients greater than 80 yrs of age; consider this dose for those > 75 years with at least one risk factor for bleeding Do not chew, break or open capsules as this may result in increased exposure Take with or without food Dosage Adjustment Renal: renal function should be assessed at initiation (to ensure CrCl > 30 ml/min), during clinical situations when renal function may decline, and at least annually in those > 75 years or with moderate renal function (CrCl ml/min) 19 Hepatic: not studied in moderate to severe impairment Contraindications 17 CrCl < 30 ml/min Active bleeding Lesions at risk of clinically signifi cant bleeding (eg., hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke within 6 months, active peptic ulcer with recent bleeding) Treatment with strong P-glycoprotien inhibitors/inducers (e.g., ketoconazole, rifampin) Hypersensitivity or allergy Use in pregnancy and nursing is not recommended Converting From or To Warfarin* From warfarin to dabigatran discontinue warfarin and start dabigatran once INR less than From dabigatran to warfarin, based on CrCl 20 - CrCl > 50 ml/min start warfarin 3 days before stopping dabigatran - CrCl ml/min start warfarin 2 days before stopping dabigatran - CrCl ml/min start warfarin 1 day before stopping dabigatran * because dabigatran can contribute to an elevated INR, venipuncture INR will better refl ect warfarin effect once dabigatran has been stopped for at least 2 days Anticoagulation Testing and Assessment Routine anticoagulant monitoring is not required. 17,18,20 INR and aptt testing should not be used for routine monitoring or dose adjustment. A normal TT rules out the presence of clinically important dabigatran levels. In absence of TT availability, aptt may be used although a minority of patients (<2%) may have a normal aptt just prior to their next dose, while chronically taking dabigatran. 21 Monitor CBC at baseline and with any change in health status that may impact hemoglobin, red blood cell count or platelets Monitor CrCl to assess stability of renal function and ongoing dabigatran dose / use Dabigatran (Pradax ) continued

Rivaroxaban will increase the INR and testing should be done 24 hours after rivaroxaban dosing to better refl ect the impact of warfarin. Rivaroxaban can be discontinued once the INR is > 2.0 Anticoagulation Testing and Assessment Routine anticoagulant monitoring is not required, and INR or aptt testing should not be used as a measure of the anticoagulant effect. Rivaroxaban-calibrated anti-xa levels refl ect the pharmacodynamic effect in a dose dependent fashion. In the absence of anti-xa levels, the PT (Neoplastin reagent) may be useful to refl ect presence of drug Monitor CBC at baseline and with any change in health status that may impact hemoglobin, red blood cell count or platelets Monitor CrCl to assess stability of renal function and ongoing rivaroxaban dose/use Potential in Potential in Rivaroxaban Rivaroxaban Clarithromycin* Fluconazole* Ketoconazole Ritonavir Strong inhibitors of both P-glycoprotein and 3A4 Carbamazepine Phenytoin Rifampin St. Johns Wort Strong inducers of both P-glycoprotein and 3A4
