This study aimed to investigate the impact of AF on ischemic stroke\/transient ischemic attack (TIA) and clinical outcomes, as well as the utilization of oral anticoagulation (OAC) therapy in Vietnam. (2) Methods: Data from the Registry of Stroke Care Quality (RES-Q) across 66 hospitals in Vietnam between 2017 and 2023 were utilized. Patients diagnosed with ischemic stroke or TIA were included, and clinical characteristics, pre- and post-hospitalization medication, and hospitalized outcomes were examined. (3) Results: Of 94,144 patients, 15.1% had AF. Patients with AF were older and had a higher prevalence of heart failure and more severe strokes. AF was associated with increased mortality during hospitalization and a poorer prognosis. In AF patients, anticoagulation therapy utilization increased from 15.8% pre-hospitalization to 82.4% at discharge, with a preference for direct oral anticoagulants. (4) Conclusions: AF significantly impacts ischemic stroke\/TIA outcomes in Vietnam. Pre-hospitalization and anticoagulation therapy utilization were low but improved at discharge. These findings emphasize the need for improved AF management and stroke prevention strategies in developing countries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcdd11090269","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,30]],"date-time":"2024-08-30T06:46:29Z","timestamp":1725000389000},"page":"269","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Anticoagulation Patterns in Ischemic Stroke Patients with Atrial Fibrillation in Developing Country: Insights from the Stroke Registry in Vietnam"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7210-3522","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mai Duy","family":"Ton","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Stroke Center, Bach Mai Hospital, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam"},{"name":"Faculty of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Disease, VNU-University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam"},{"name":"Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, Hanoi Medical University, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dao Viet","family":"Phuong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Stroke Center, Bach Mai Hospital, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam"},{"name":"Faculty of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Disease, VNU-University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam"},{"name":"Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, Hanoi Medical University, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nguyen Tien","family":"Dung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Stroke Center, Bach Mai Hospital, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam"},{"name":"Faculty of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Disease, VNU-University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam"},{"name":"Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, Hanoi Medical University, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nguyen Van","family":"Chi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, Hanoi Medical University, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam"},{"name":"Emergency Center, Bach Mai Hospital, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2983-5998","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Truong Thi","family":"Hoa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Disease, VNU-University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Hanoi 100000, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2622-1365","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tran Cong","family":"Minh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nuffield Department of Clinical Neuroscience, University of Oxford, Oxford OX1 2JD, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeyaraj","family":"Pandian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Christian Medical College, Ludhiana 141001, Punjab, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6057-8379","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nguyen Huy","family":"Thang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cerebrovascular Disease, The People\u2019s Hospital 115, Ho Chi Minh City 700000, Vietnam"},{"name":"Department of Neurology, Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine, Ho Chi Minh City 700000, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ho, T.H.Q., Ton, M.T., Nguyen, V.L., Pham, H.M., Van Hoang, S., Vo, N.T., Thai, N.Q., Pham, L.T., and Mai, T.D.
