Registered outcomes5

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryTime to First Event (Death, Stroke, Major Bleed)Time to event
Time to first event (death, stroke, major bleed) The primary outcome was time to first event, and we used the Kaplan-Meier method to compare survival curves and the results using the log-rank test. The number of patients with a primary outcome is what was reported in the NEJM paper. Below is the unpublished cumulative incidence information.
SecondaryTime in Therapeutic Range Over Full Length of Follow-up (0 to 100 Percent)Full length of follow-up; average of 3 yearsTime in target range (TTR) based on Prothrombin Time standardized to the International Normalized Ratio
SecondaryDASS at 2 Years of Follow-upAt two years of follow-upSatisfaction with care was quantified using the Duke Anticoagulation Satisfaction Scale (DASS). Scores range from 25 to 225, with lower scores indicating higher satisfaction.
SecondaryCumulative Gain in Health Utilities at 2 YearAfter 2 years of follow-up for each subject
Scores range from -0.36 to 1.00 per year, with a negative score indicating a state worse than being dead and a score of 1.00 indicating perfect health. Since the time frame is 2 years, the range is -0.72 to 2.00.
