Cost-Effectiveness of Dabigatran Compared with Warfarin for Stroke Prevention in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and Prior Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack
Stroke 43:881-883, Kamel,H.,et al, 2012

Article Abstract
Dabigatran appears to be cost-effective relative to warfarin for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation and prior stroke or transient ischemic attack. Our analysis is limited by its reliance on data from a substudy of a single randomized trial, and our results may not apply in settings with uncommonly good international normalized ratio control using warfarin.
