Lifeday coverage of oral anticoagulants and one-year relative survival in patients with atrial fibrillation: a population-based study in Estonia

Routine oral anticoagulation (OAC) is recommended for almost all high-risk patients with atrial fibrillation, yet registries show that OACs are still underused. Our aim was to study the lifeday coverage (LDC) ...
