In this part of the Registry Program patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) at risk for stroke are enrolled to characterize the target population and to collect real world data on important outcome events. For administrative purposes the study is divided into two protocol numbers: 1160.129 for all non-EU (European Union) and non-EEA (European Economic Area) countries, and 1160.136 for EU and EEA countries. The total number of patients enrolled in both protocols is estimated to be 48,000 patients, and all these patients will be included in the data analysis for study 1160.129.

Incidence Rate of Composite Outcome (Stroke, Systemic Embolism, Myocardial Infarction, Life-threatening Bleeding Events and Vascular Death) - Phase II
Incidence rate of composite outcome which includes events of Stroke, systemic embolism, myocardial infarction, life-threatening bleeding events and vascular death on all eligible patients excluding prescribed but not taken set that included Dabigatran etexilate (DE) of phase II only. In case of multiple events for a patient, the first event was considered.
Time frame: From baseline visit of Phase II until end of initial treatment regimen episode (minimum date of permanent stop of DE + 3 days, start date of other treatments - 1 day, and date of study completion/discontinuation), up to 2 years.
Incidence Rate of Composite Outcome (Stroke, Systemic Embolism, Myocardial Infarction, Life-threatening Bleeding Events and Vascular Death) - Phase III
Incidence rate of composite outcome which includes events of Stroke, systemic embolism, myocardial infarction, life-threatening bleeding events and vascular death on restricted set that included Dabigatran etexilate (DE) of phase III and Vitamin K Antagonist (VKA) of phase III only. In case of multiple events for a patient, the first event was considered. Unknown cause of death was imputed by multiple imputation. Counts were based on the average of the 20 restricted data sets. The average of the 20 incidence rates from the 20 imputed datasets were used to obtain the point estimate of the incidence rate that is reported here. The bootstrapping approach was used to obtain the 95% confidence interval of the incidence rate.
Time frame: From baseline visit of phase III until end of initial treatment regimen episode (minimum date of permanent stop of DE + 3 days/ VKA+ 6 days, start date of other treatments - 1 day, and date of study completion/discontinuation), up to 3 years.
Incidence Rate of Vascular Composite Outcome (Stroke, Systemic Embolism, Myocardial Infarction and Vascular Death) - Phase II
Incidence rate of vascular composite outcome including events of stroke, systemic embolism, myocardial infarction and vascular death on all eligible patients excluding prescribed but not taken set that included Dabigatran etexilate (DE) of phase II only. In case of multiple events for a patient, the first event was considered.
