Journal ArticleDOI

Placebo-controlled, randomised trial of warfarin and aspirin for prevention of thromboembolic complications in chronic atrial fibrillation. The Copenhagen AFASAK study.

TL;DR: The incidence of thromboembolic complications and vascular mortality were significantly lower in the warfarin group than in the aspirin and placebo groups, which did not differ significantly.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diffusion tensor imaging during recovery from severe traumatic brain injury and relation to clinical outcome: a longitudinal study.

TL;DR: Findings support that DTI is a clinically relevant biomarker in TBI, which may have prognostic value and also might serve as a tool for revealing changes in the neural tissue during recovery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bleeding During Warfarin and Aspirin Therapy in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation The AFASAK 2 Study

TL;DR: The small number of major bleeding events in patients receiving adjusted-dose warfarin therapy as compared with those receiving less intensive antithrombotic treatments and the finding of no significant influence of age on the risk for bleeding indicate that even elderly patients with atrial fibrillation tolerate adjusted- dose warfar in therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

A clinical prediction rule to identify patients with atrial fibrillation and a low risk for stroke while taking aspirin.

TL;DR: Irrespective of age, patients with AF and none of these 4 clinical features and who take aspirin have stroke rates comparable to those of age-matched community cohorts and would not benefit substantially from anticoagulation.
