Popis: Abstract The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of different rivaroxaban dosage regimens in preventing ischemic stroke and systemic thromboembolism among Asians. A retrospective cohort study was conducted on data from nationwide insurance claims in Taiwan. Patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation under warfarin or rivaroxaban therapy were included. Propensity score matching was used to balance the covariates, and Cox-proportional hazard models were applied to compare the effectiveness and safety of each treatment group. Rivaroxaban was associated with a significantly lower risk of venous thromboembolism (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.51; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.29–0.92, P = 0.02) and intracranial hemorrhage (HR: 0.48; 95% CI: 0.32–0.72, P
