Dabigatran Versus Warfarin in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
NEJM 361:1139-1151, 1200, Connolly,S.,et al, 2009
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In patients with atrial fibrillation, dabigatran given at a dose of 110 mg was associated with rates of stroke and systemic embolism that were similar to those associated with warfarin, as well as lower rates of major hemorrhage. Dabigatran administered at a dose of 150 mg, as compared with warfarin, was associated with lower rates of stroke and systemic embolism but similar rates of hemorrhage.
