The Burden of Atrial Fibrillation Estimation of the Cost-Effectiveness of Apixaban in Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation in Argentina Background The Burden of Atrial Fibrillation Atrial fibrillation affects to 2-3 % of the general population1, 2. Its prevalence increases with age 1, 2 An estimated prevalence in the elderly is about 8%3 It increases 5-fold the risk of stroke or systemic embolism4 1) Lancet 2009;373:739 2) Wolf PA.

Estimation of the Burden of Atrial Fibrillation Estimation of the Cost-Effectiveness of Apixaban in Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation in Argentina Background Estimation of the Burden of Atrial Fibrillation in Argentina In 2012, the Argentinean population was estimated around 42,192,494 with 11.1% (4,699,166) over 65 years of age1. Estimated NVAF prevalence in the group of 65 and older is 8% (375,933)2. About 79% (296,987) are suitable for the use of anticoagulants3 1) www.indec.gov.ar. 2) Eur Heart J 2006; 27: 949–53. 3) www.sac.org.ar/files/files/37congreso/TLP%20398.pdf // Rev Argent Cardiol 2003;71:332-37 // Rev Argent Cardiol 2005;73:192-200 Ispor la 2013

Estimation of the Cost-Effectiveness of Apixaban in Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation in Argentina Conclusions AF population in Argentina has higher thrombotic risk and less tight anticoagulant control than other countries. Considering WHO-CHOICE CE thresholds, apixaban seems to be a cost effective alternative. These results were consistent both in VKA suitable and unsuitable populations Ispor la 2013
