Description

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Sentinel System developed tools for sequential surveillance. This tool was used to sequentially compare outcomes for new users of rivaroxaban versus warfarin, employing propensity score matching and Cox regression. This study demonstrates the capability of Sentinel to conduct prospective safety monitoring and raises no new concerns about rivaroxaban safety.

Medical Product

warfarin
Health Outcome
