  • Beschreibung: <jats:p> <jats:bold>Aim:</jats:bold> To analyze the frequency and variables related to inappropriate rivaroxaban dosage in clinical practice and its impact on outcomes after 2 years. <jats:bold>Materials &amp; methods:</jats:bold> Postauthorization, observational, multicenter study, in which atrial fibrillation patients, treated with rivaroxaban ≥6 months were included. <jats:bold>Results:</jats:bold>  A total of 1421 patients (74.2 ± 9.7 years, CHA <jats:sub>2</jats:sub> DS <jats:sub>2</jats:sub> -VASc 3.5 ± 1.6) were included. Overall, 22.9% received rivaroxaban 15 mg. The proper dose of rivaroxaban was taken by 83.3% (9.7% underdosed, 7.0% overdosed). Older age and renal insufficiency were associated with inadequate rivaroxaban dosage. There was a trend toward higher all-cause mortality among underdosed patients (adjusted hazard ratio 1.39; 95% CI 0.75–2.58), and more bleedings in overdosed patients (2.29 vs 0.80 events/100 patient-years; p = 0.14). <jats:bold>Conclusion:</jats:bold> In clinical practice, rivaroxaban is properly dosed in most patients. </jats:p>
