BACKGROUND: Elderly patients with atrial fibrillation are at higher risk of both
ischemic and bleeding events compared to younger patients. In a prespecified
analysis from the ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48 trial, we evaluate clinical outcomes with
edoxaban versus warfarin according to age. METHODS AND RESULTS: Twenty-one
thousand one-hundred and five patients enrolled in the ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48 trial
were stratified into 3 prespecified age groups: <65 (n=5497), 65 to 74 (n=7134),
and ?75 (n=8474) years. Older patients were more likely to be female, with lower
body weight and reduced creatinine clearance, leading to higher rates of edoxaban
dose reduction (10%, 18%, and 41% for the 3 age groups, P<0.001). Stroke or
systemic embolic event (1.1%, 1.8%, and 2.3%) and major bleeding (1.8%, 3.3%, and
4.8%) rates with warfarin increased across age groups (Ptrend<0.001 for both).
There were no interactions between age group and randomized treatment in the
primary efficacy and safety outcomes. In the elderly (?75 years), the rates of
stroke/systemic embolic event were similar with edoxaban versus warfarin (hazard
ratio 0.83 [0.66-1.04]), while major bleeding was significantly reduced with
edoxaban (hazard ratio 0.83 [0.70-0.99]). The absolute risk difference in major
bleeding (-82 events/10 000 pt-yrs) and in intracranial hemorrhage
(-73 events/10 000 pt-yrs) both favored edoxaban over warfarin in older patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Age has a greater influence on major bleeding than thromboembolic
risk in patients with atrial fibrillation. Given the higher rates of bleeding and
death with increasing age, treatment of elderly patients with edoxaban provides
an even greater absolute reduction in safety events over warfarin, compared to
treatment with edoxaban versus warfarin in younger patients. CLINICAL TRIAL
