Recruitment Details
Key information relevant to the recruitment process for the overall study, such as dates of the recruitment period and locations
This study, an efficacy and safety study of Rivaroxaban with Warfarin for the prevention of stroke and non-central nervous system systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation, was conducted from 18 December 2006 to 07 September 2010. Patients were recruited at 1,170 study centers located in 45 countries worldwide.

Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
A total of 14,269 patients were randomized in the study. Five patients were randomized twice bringing the number of randomized unique patients to 14,264. A total of 14,236 (7111 and 7125 patients in the rivaroxaban and warfarin groups, respectively) unique patients took at least 1 dose of study medication and were included in the Safety Population.
