Race, Ethnicity, and Language Concordance Between Patients and Physicians and Atrial Fibrillation DOAC Treatment

In this cohort study, patient-physician race and ethnicity concordance was associated with increased odds of DOAC therapy initiation, whereas race, ethnicity, and language concordance were associated with increased odds of DOAC therapy persistence. These findings suggest patient-physician concordance as a potential pathway to support more equitable anticoagulation care.
