Cost-Effectiveness of Oral Anticoagulants for Ischemic Stroke Prophylaxis Among Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation Patients
Stroke 47:1555-1561, Shah, A.,et al, 2016
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
All the newer oral anticoagulants compared were more effective than adjusted dosed warfarin. Our model showed that apixaban was the most effective anticoagulant in a general atrial fibrillation population and has an incremental cost-effectiveness rate >$50000/QALY. For those with higher stroke risk (CHADS>3), dabigatran was the most cost-effective treatment option.
