The relevance of the issue is primarily due to the prevalence of AF in this cohort of patients, and the second is due to the higher incidence of comorbidity. The presented material demonstrates the peculiarities of anticoagulant therapy application in groups of patients older than 75, based on the data of randomized clinical trials, and also presents extrapolation of the results of RCTs to the real clinical practice (data of registers and cohort trials). The use of unreasonably low doses of oral anticoagulants in elderly patients is debated. It often leads to a decrease in the efficacy of anticoagulant therapy without improving the drugs safety profile. A new validated scale (ABH) for evaluating of anticoagulant therapy safety is presented in the article. The ABH scale can be used before prescribing to patients exactly direct oral anticoagulants. This scale is simpler and more practical than the HAS-BLED scale. The data for the ABH scale are validated based on direct oral anticoagulants in 21,248 patients from the Norwegian register. The presented results demonstrate a favorable efficiency and safety profile of rivaroxaban in comparison with warfarin in patients 75 years and older. Thus, the overall benefit for the use of rivaroxaban against warfarin in patients &gt; 75 years of age in the subanalysis of the ROCKET-AF study was statistically significantly greater than in younger patients with AF. Data on 11121 patients with AF who were treated with rivaroxaban for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism are included in the combined analysis of the XANTUS, XANAP and XANTUS-EL registers. 96% of patients in the study did not have serious thromboembolic events. The amount of major bleeding was 1.7 per 100 patient-years, and gastrointestinal bleeding was 0.7 per 100 patient-years. This turned out to be less than in some other registry studies. In addition, patients showed good adherence to rivaroxaban treatment: after a year, 77.4% of patients continued to take the drug.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В статье обсуждаются вопросы, связанные с назначением антикоагулянтной терапии пожилым пациентам с фибрилляцией предсердий (ФП), особенно – в возрасте старше 70 и 80 лет. Актуальность вопроса, в первую очередь, обусловлена распространенностью ФП у данной когорты пациентов, во-вторую – большей долей коморбидности. Представленный материал демонстрирует особенности применения антикоагулянтной терапии в группах пациентов старше 75 лет, опираясь на данные рандомизированных клинических исследований, а также представлено экстраполирование результатов последних на реальную клиническую практику (данные регистров и когортных исследований). Обсуждается применение неоправданно сниженных доз пероральных антикоагулянтов в старшей возрастной группе, что чаще всего приводит к снижению эффективности антикоагулянтной терапии без улучшения профиля безопасности препаратов. В статье приводится новая валидизированная шкала оценки безопасности антикоагулянтной терапии ABH, которую можно применять перед назначением пациентам именно прямых оральных антикоагулянтов. Она гораздо проще и практичнее шкалы HAS-BLED, а данные валидизированы на основе приема прямых оральных антикоагулянтов 21 248 пациентами из норвежского регистра. Представленные результаты демонстрируют благоприятный профиль эффективности и безопасности ривароксабана в сравнении с варфарином у пациентов 75 лет и старше. Так, в субанализе исследования ROCKET-AF общая польза терапии ривароксабаном в сравнении с варфарином у пациентов старше 75 лет статистически значимо больше, чем у более молодых пациентов с ФП. В объединенный анализ регистров XANTUS, XANAP и XANTUS-EL вошли данные по 11 121 пациенту с ФП, которым проводилась терапия ривароксабаном для профилактики инсульта и системных эмболий. У 96% пациентов в исследовании не было зафиксировано ни одного серьезного тромбоэмболического события. Количество больших кровотечений составило 1,7 на 100 пациенто-лет, а желудочно-кишечных кровотечений – 0,7 на 100 пациенто-лет, что оказалось меньше, чем в ряде других регистровых исследований. Кроме того, пациенты продемонстрировали хорошую приверженность лечению ривароксабаном: через год прием препарата продолжали 77,4% от общего числа.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>фибрилляция предсердий</kwd><kwd>пожилой возраст</kwd><kwd>ривароксабан</kwd><kwd>варфарин</kwd><kwd>безопасность</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>atrial fibrillation</kwd><kwd>elderly</kwd><kwd>rivaroxaban</kwd><kwd>warfarin</kwd><kwd>safety</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group xml:lang="ru"><funding-statement>Публикация подготовлена при поддержке компании АО «Байер».</funding-statement></funding-group><funding-group xml:lang="en"><funding-statement>This publication was prepared with the support of Bayer.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Krijthe B.P., Kunst A., Benjamin E.J., et al.
