Objective:To assess the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban or apixaban compared to vitamin K anti-coagulants(VKA)in atrial fibrillation(AF)patients with dialysis.Methods:Relevant studies were identified through computer searches of databases including PubMed,Embase,Cochrane Library,CNKI,Wanfang Data,and China Biology Medicine(CBM),from the inception of each database until April 16,2023.Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software.Results:A total of 8 studies were included,comprising 3 randomized con-trolled trials(RCT)and 5 retrospective cohort studies,with a cumulative enrollment of 39 274 patients.Among them,7 727 patients received rivaroxaban or apixaban,while 31 547 patients received VKA.The meta-analysis results revealed that,in terms of efficacy outcomes,rivaroxaban or apixaban were associated with a decreased inci-dence of stroke/systemic embolism(RR=0.82,95%CI 0.71-0.95,P=0.01)and all-cause death(RR=0.83,95%CI 0.75-0.91,P<0.000 1),compared to VKA.Regarding safety outcomes,rivaroxaban or apixaban were associated with a decreased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding(RR=0.80,95%CI 0.69-0.93,P=0.005).However,there was no statistically significant difference compared to VKA in terms of major bleeding and in-tracranial bleeding.Subgroup analysis indicated that rivaroxaban was only associated with a decreased risk of gas-trointestinal bleeding(RR=0.60,95%CI 0.40-0.92,P=0.02).On the other hand,apixaban was associated with a decreased risk of stroke/systemic embolism(RR=0.85,95%CI 0.73-1.00,P=0.04),all-cause death(RR=0.82,95%CI 0.74-0.90,P<0.000 1),major bleeding(RR=0.71,95%CI 0.63-0.79,P<0.00001),and gastrointestinal bleeding(RR=0.84,95%CI 0.71-0.99,P=0.03).Low-dose rivaroxaban or apixa-ban was associated with a decreased risk of major bleeding(RR=0.69,95%CI 0.59-0.80,P<0.000 01).Sen-sitivity analysis was consistent with the overall meta-analysis findings.Conclusion:In AF patients with dialysis,using rivaroxaban or apixaban demonstrates a favorable risk-benefit profile compared to VKA.Rivaroxaban or apixaban may serve as reasonable alternatives to VKA.
