The willingness to accept brain imaging evaluation for the optimisation of anticoagulation management among people with atrial fibrillation and low-to-intermediate stroke risk (IMAGE-AF)

Silent brain infarction (SBI) found on brain imaging only – affects 1 in 3 people with atrial fibrillation (AF) and doubles the future stroke risk. Through an online survey and focus group discussions, IMAGE-AF (Stream I) seeks input from clinicians on:

1. Current anticoagulation practices in people with AF and low-to-intermediate stroke risk (CHA2DS2-VA score <2);

2. Knowledge and awareness of SBI; and

3. Attitudes toward brain imaging-guided stroke prevention in this AF population.

Eligible participants are registered clinicians in Australia whose daily work involves anticoagulation decisions and/or anticoagulant prescription for people with non-valvular atrial fibrillation who have not experienced a stroke, including GPs, cardiologists, geriatricians, neurologists, etc.

We prepared either a simplified version survey (approximately 4-7 minutes) or a full version survey (approximately 8-13 minutes) for your selection, depending on your time and preference.

Compensation offered: $20 Prezzee e-voucher for completing the simplified survey and $40 e-voucher for completing the full survey. $100 e-voucher if attending the focus group discussion (20-30 minutes) at our invitation
