OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of permanent @entity955 ( @entity955 ) in community-dwelling subjects aged 85 and to determine the anticoagulation therapy rate. DESIGN: Community-based survey of inhabitants aged 85 years. @entity1 : @entity1 were 328 @entity1 born in 1924 and assigned to 7 primary health care teams. MEASUREMENTS: Sociodemographic variables, Barthel Index, the Spanish version of the Mini-Mental State Examination, Mini Nutritional Assessment, Charlson Index, social risk, quality of life, and prevalent @entity102 were assessed. Permanent @entity955 was determined by @entity1 interview, treatment prescriptions, and clinical records. RESULTS: The sample included 202 @entity1 (61.6%) and 126 @entity1 . In 41 (12.5%) @entity1 permanent @entity955 was diagnosed; 25 (60.9%) were on anticoagulant oral therapy and 9 (21.9%) were receiving antiplatelet therapy. Using multiple logistic regression analysis, previous diagnosis of @entity712 (P < .001, OR 4.170, 95% CI 1.927-9.024) and @entity64 history (P < .03, OR 2.439, 95% CI 1.101-5.401) were significantly associated with the diagnosis of permanent @entity955 . CONCLUSION: @entity955 is quite prevalent in 85-year-old subjects. A large percentage of @entity1 with @entity955 were receiving chronic anticoagulant therapy. The percentage of @entity1 who were not receiving prophylactic treatment was low.

High rate of anticoagulation therapy in oldest old subjects with XXXX : the Octabaix study.
