Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent sustained cardiac arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice and is associated with a significantly increased risk of ischemic stroke. Anticoagulant therapy is crucial for lowering the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), and because of their fixed dosage, predictable pharmacokinetics, and reduced dietary and medication interactions, Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs) are gradually taking the place of conventional vitamin K antagonists. Despite these benefits, real-world DOAC prescribing practices frequently deviate from professional recommendations because of things like patient characteristics, comorbidities, physician choice, and limitations in the healthcare system. To find practice gaps and improve patient outcomes, it is essential to comprehend these prescribing trends in the context of stroke patients who have AF. Furthermore, reducing adverse drug events depends on medication reconciliation, which makes sure that complete and correct prescription information is shared across care transitions. Although patient counselling has been acknowledged as a crucial tactic to improve drug comprehension and adherence, little is known about how well it works to improve medication reconciliation outcomes for stroke patients receiving DOAC therapy
