RESUMEN
Antecedentes. Los anticoagulantes se recomiendan en
pacientes con fibrilación auricular. Sin embargo, muchos
pacientes prefieren perapia antiplaquetaria o ninguna debido
al riesfo de sangrado mayor. Los eventos de sangrado
mayor (SM) pueden ser el origen de un mal pronóstico.
Objetivos. Buscamos explorar la seguridad de los anticoagulantes
analizando las diferencias en la incidencia
de SM y eventos vasculares mortales (EVM) en pacientes
con FA.
Métodos. Tres bases de datos fueron investigadas
desde el inicio hasta Noviembre 30, 2017. Quince
estudios controlados randomizados se incluyerin en este
estudio.
Resultados. Comparada con placebo, (risk ratio
[RR] 1.95, 95% intervalo de confianza [IC] 0.87-4.38, p =
0.11), aunque la warfarina incrementó el riesgo de sangrado
(warfarin vs aspirin: RR 1.86, 95% CI 1.30-2.65, p
= 0.0006), el riesgo no aumentó con el aumento en la intensidad
del tratamiento. Además, la warfarina no incrementó
el riesgo de SM (warfarin vs aspirin: RR 1.08, 95%
IC 0.71-1.64, p = 0.72; warfarin vs placebo RR 2.27, 95%
IC 0.84-6.15, p = 0.11). Además, una importante reducción
en el riesgo de EVM fue observado grupo de warfarina
a altas dosis ((warfarin vs aspirin: RR 0.44, 95% IC
0.25-0.76, p = 0.004; warfarin vs placebo: RR 0.30, 95%
IC 0.13-0.71, p = 0.005). Solamente un estudio demostró
que comparado con aspirina, el apixabán no aumentó la
incidencia de SM (p = 0.57), y tuvo una tendencia hacia
una menor mortalidad. (p = 0.07).
Conclusiones. El uso
de anticoagulantes orales es seguro en pacientes con FA.
Además, la dosis de warfarina no debería ser tan conservadora.
