BILREIRO, Mariana; MACHADO, Bela; CORREIA, Luís Marote    FREITAS, Rafael. On “Are Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Correctly Anticoagulated? A Snapshot From A Portuguese Hospital on The Countryside”. []. , 29, 1, pp.64-65.   01--2022. ISSN 0872-671X.  https://doi.org/10.24950/rspmi.2022.01.305.

We applied the analytic methodology described by Lima et published in Revista Portuguesa de Medicina Interna to a sample of 211 patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation admitted due to acute ischemic stroke or transient cerebral ischemia. We report 146 patients (69,2%) eligible that were not anticoagulated. These patients presented a higher comorbidity index than those anticoagulated. We consider that future studies could in-clude this analysis.
