ABSTRACT
In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), the safety and efficacy of nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) vs warfarin according to diabetes mellitus (DM) status are not completely characterized. We performed a meta-analysis to clarify whether in these patients the strategy of oral anticoagulation should be tailored to diabetes status. In this study-level meta-analysis, we included 4 randomized phase III trials comparing NOACs and warfarin in patients with nonvalvular AF; a total of 18 134 patients with DM and 40 454 without DM were overall considered. Incidence of the following outcome measures was evaluated during the follow-up stroke or systemic embolism, ischemic stroke, major bleeding, intracranial bleeding, and vascular death. Use of NOACs compared with warfarin reduced stroke/systemic embolism in diabetic (Risk Ratios [RR] 0.80, 95% CI 0.68-0.93; P = .004) and nondiabetic patients (RR 0.83, 0.73-0.93; P = .001) (P for interaction .72). No interaction between diabetes status and benefits of NOACs was found for the occurrence of ischemic stroke, major bleeding, or intracranial bleeding (P for interaction >.05 for each comparison). Reduction of vascular death rates with NOACs was significant in diabetic patients (4.97% vs 5.99% with warfarin; RR 0.83, 0.72-0.96; P = .01), in whom absolute the reduction of this outcome measure was higher than in nondiabetics (1.02% vs 0.27%), although no interaction was present (P = .23). Results of this meta-analysis support the safety and efficacy of NOACs compared with warfarin in diabetic patients with nonvalvular AF.
