Effect of Age on Stroke Prevention Therapy in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: The Atrial Fibrillation Investigators
Stroke 40:1410-1416, van Walraven,C.,et al, 2009
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
As patients with atrial fibrillation age, the relative efficacy of AP to prevent ischemic stroke appears to decrease, whereas it does not change for OAC. Because stroke risk increases with age, the absolute benefit of OAC increases as patients get older.
