Abstract
Objective: Safety and effectiveness of edoxaban was demonstrated in phase III, Effective Anticoagulation with Factor Xa Next Generation in Atrial Fibrillation-Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction 48 (ENGAGE-AF-TIMI 48) trial and is being confirmed in the post-authorization Edoxaban Treatment in routiNe clinical prActice for patients with Atrial Fibrillation in Europe (ETNA-AF-Europe) study in patients with atrial fibrillation. However. any post-authorization safety study focusing on the safety of edoxaban treatment in Turkey with a prospective design has not been performed yet. The Evaluation of Treatment Safety in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation on Edoxaban Therapy in Real-Life in Turkey (ETAF-TR) study is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of edoxaban treatment in atrial fibrillation in routine practice. The present article describes the design and rationale for the ETAF-TR Study.
