| Variable | Multiple regression coefficient | P-value | 95% CI | Standardised β coefficient |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exceptions from anticoagulation therapy, % | −0.81 | 0.000 | −0.92 to −0.71 | −0.72 |
| Population ONS MYE 2015 aged ≥65 years, % | 0.10 | 0.007 | 0.03 to 0.18 | 0.13 |
| Percentage of total anticoagulants prescribed as NOACs in Oct–Dec 2016 | 0.03 | 0.109 | −0.01 to 0.06 | 0.08 |
