Abstract: Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of dabigatran etexilate with warfarin for thromboembolism prevention in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. Methods A total of 166 patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation were identified as dabigatran etexilate group (110 mg, twice daily) and warfarin group (target international normalized ratio, 2.0~3.0). The efficacy and safety of the two drugs were compared in regard to stroke or systemic embolism and major bleeding outcomes during a follow-up of 6 months. Results In the thromboembolism events, there was no significant difference between dabigatran etexilate group and warfarin group (0.0% vs 1.2%, P>0.05). The rate of bleeding was 4.82% in the dabigatran etexilate group, as compared with 6.02% in the warfarin group (P>0.05). Conclusion There are similar thromboembolism and bleeding rates in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation between dabigatran etexilate and warfarin.

Key words: Dabigatran etexilate, Thromboembolism, Nonvalvular atrial filbrillation, Warfarin
