Recruitment Details
Key information relevant to the recruitment process for the overall study, such as dates of the recruitment period and locations
The study population included male and female participants >18 years of age with chronic non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation. The participants were recruited during the time period from 20 February 2007 to 5 June 2008 at medical clinics in Europe.

Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
Participants were enrolled in the study up to two weeks before randomisation and treatment assignment. Participants that were already treated with Vitamin K Antagonists (VKA) at the time of enrollment had their dose adjusted to achive INR <2.0 at the time of randomisation. If this was not achieved the participant was discontinued from the study.
