In 2022, aan comparativeobservational metal-analysis study was performed on direct oral anticoagulants for patients with atrial fibrillation. ResultsThe demonstratedstudy [[apixaban]]found usethat wasdabigatran associatedhad with lower risk for gastrointestinal bleeding and similarcomparable rates of ischemic stroke or systemic embolism, intracerebral brain hemorrhagehaemorrhage, and all-cause mortality when compared withto dabigatranother anticoagulants like apixaban, [[edoxaban]], and [[rivaroxaban]]. Notably, apixaban was associated with a lower risk of gastrointestinal bleeding than dabigatran and the others. This finding was generally steady for patients aged 80 years or older and those with chronic kidney disease.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Lau WC, Torre CO, Man KK, Stewart HM, Seager S, Van Zandt M, Reich C, Li J, Brewster J, Lip GY, Hingorani AD, Wei L, Wong IC | title = Comparative Effectiveness and Safety Between Apixaban, Dabigatran, Edoxaban, and Rivaroxaban Among Patients With Atrial Fibrillation : A Multinational Population-Based Cohort Study | journal = Annals of Internal Medicine | volume = 175 | issue = 11 | pages = 1515–1524 | date = November 2022 | pmid = 36315950 | doi = 10.7326/M22-0511 | s2cid = 253238819 }}</ref>
