Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are a newer class of anticoagulants that inhibit factor Xa or factor IIa and include drugs such as rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban, betrixaban, and dabigatran. Although vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) have been traditionally used to prevent thromboembolic events, DOACs have gained popularity because of their faster onset and offset of action and reduced need for monitoring. This study aimed to provide more data for anticoagulants in patients with atrial fibrillation with bioprosthetic heart valves by incorporating all available trials to date. A search was performed across 5 electronic databases to identify relevant studies. We analyzed the data using a pooled risk ratio for categorical outcomes and used the I2 test to determine heterogeneity. The quality of randomized controlled trials was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool, and the National Institutes of Health tool was used for observational studies. Our study included a frequentist network meta-analysis (MA) of the aggregate data to obtain the network estimates for the outcomes of interest. We retrieved 28 studies with a total of 74,660 patients with bioprosthetic heart valves. Our MA significantly showed that DOACs decrease the risk of all-cause bleeding (risk ratio [RR] 0.80, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.75 to 0.85, p >0.00001), stroke and systemic embolization (RR 0.89, 95% CI 0.80 to 0.99, p=0.03), and intracranial bleeding outcomes (RR 0.62, 95% CI 0.45 to 0.86, p=0.004) compared with VKA. In contrast, there was no significant difference between the compared groups in major bleeding (RR=0.92, 95% CI 0.84 to 1.02, p=0.10) and all-cause mortality outcomes (RR=0.96, 95% CI 0.85 to 1.07, p=0.43), respectively. In addition, the network MA results did not favor any of the studied interventions over each other (p <0.05) regarding all-cause bleeding, mortality, stroke and systemic embolization, and major bleeding outcomes. In conclusion, our study found that DOACs are more effective in reducing the risk of bleeding, stroke, systemic embolism, and intracranial bleeding than VKAs. However, no significant difference was observed in the incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding, major bleeding, thromboembolic events, and all-cause mortality. In addition, our network MA did not identify any specific DOAC treatment as more favorable than others.
