Reviewing the impact of our work
ACE impact reports show how our guidances and work have contributed to improved patient outcomes and healthcare value in Singapore.
Latest Impact Report : NOACs
In Singapore, the prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in adults of Chinese ethnicity above 55 years old is about 1.5% and 5.8% in those above 80 years old. The risk of ischemic stroke is 3 to 5 times higher in patients with AF. Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulation agents (NOACs) are effective in reducing stroke and systemic embolism and have a favourable safety profile.
