Non-interventional Study on Edoxaban Treatment in Routine Clinical Practice for Patients With Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation (ETNA-AF-Hong Kong)

In order to understand the risks and benefits of edoxaban use in a real-world clinical setting in the NVAF indication, Daiichi-Sankyo Hong Kong proposed this non-interventional study (NIS) to gain insight into the safety of edoxaban use in non-preselected patients with NVAF.

In order to understand the risks and benefits of edoxaban use in a real-world clinical setting in the NVAF indication, Daiichi-Sankyo proposed this non-interventional study (NIS) to gain insight into the safety of edoxaban use in non-preselected patients with NVAF.

Real world evidence from routine clinical practice using edoxaban up to 2 years will be collected and evaluated in approximately 200 patients, treated by specialized as well as non-specialized physicians in hospital centers.
