Baseline data from the CACAO study, a cohort in general practice.

The CACAO study is a french national cohort study, conducted by general practitioners on ambulatory patients under oral anticoagulant. In the first phase, investigators provided safety data available from medical records at inclusion. They also evaluated patients’ knowledge about anticoagulation and graded their perception of patients’ adherence. Between April and December 2014, 463 general practitioners included 7154 patients. In accordance with French legislation, all data that could identify participants (age, sex, date of birth, etc.) have been withdrawn.
