Abstract
Background and objective

Atrial fibrillation and anticoagulation decrease the quality of life of patients. The aim of this study is to assess the quality of life and the degree of satisfaction after changing from VKA to edoxaban anticoagulants.

Material and methods

Prospective, multicentre study, including 105 patients in dicumarinic anticoagulant treatment replaced by edoxaban. Their quality of life was evaluated before and after using the EQ-5D questionnaire, and the degree of satisfaction with CRES-4 scale.

Results

Average 75 years, CHA2DS2VASC 3.5 and HASBLED 2.1; thromboembolic events and clinically relevant bleeding during follow-up <1%. EQ-5D showed a significant overall improvement in the mobility and anxiety parameters (P = 0.023, 95% CI: 0.0175–0.23; P = 0.019, 95% CI: = 0.028–0.31). The CRES-4 questionnaire showed satisfaction with the therapist of 95%, a positive impact on life of 73% and a negative impact of 3.8%. The emotional state attributed to the change in treatment improved (41% vs 69.5%, P = 0.0001). The final score of the CRES-4 weakly correlated with the emotional situation of the EQ-5D questionnaire.

Conclusions

The change of anticoagulant for edoxaban improves the quality of life and the degree of patient satisfaction, and the EQ-5D and CRES-4 quality of life questionnaires can be used complementarily.

Resumen
Antecedentes y objetivo

La fibrilación auricular y la anticoagulación merman la calidad de vida de los pacientes. El objetivo del estudio es valorar la calidad de vida y el grado de satisfacción tras el cambio de anticoagulante de AVK a edoxabán.

Material y métodos

Estudio prospectivo, multicéntrico, que incluye a 105 pacientes en tratamiento con dicumarínicos que se sustituye por edoxabán. Se valoró la calidad de vida antes y después a través del cuestionario EQ-5D y el grado de satisfacción con la escala CRES-4.

Resultados

Edad media 75 años, CHA2DS2VASC 3.5 puntos, HASBLED 2.1 puntos; eventos tromboembólicos y hemorragias clínicamente relevantes durante el seguimiento <1%. El EQ5D mostró una mejoría global significativa en los parámetros de movilidad y ansiedad (p = 0.023, IC 95%: 0.0175–0.23; p = 0.019, IC 95%: 0.028–0.31). El CRES-4 recoge una satisfacción con el terapeuta del 95%, una repercusión positiva en la vida del 73% y negativa del 3.8%. La situacional emocional atribuida al cambio de tratamiento mejoró (41% vs 69.5%, p = 0.0001). Se correlacionó débilmente la puntuación final del CRES-4 con la situacional emocional del EQ-5D.

Conclusiones

El cambio de anticoagulante por edoxabán mejora la calidad de vida y el grado de satisfacción del paciente, pudiendo emplearse conjuntamente los cuestionarios de calidad de vida EQ-5D y el CRES-4.
