Participants randomized to apixaban will receive 5 mg twice daily (BID), or apixaban 2.5 mg BID in participants with 2 or 3 of the following characteristics:
• age ≥ 80 years
• weight ≤ 60 kilograms
• creatinine ≥ 1.5 mg/dL (133 micromol/L)
For participants randomized to apixaban, INR testing will be performed on the current warfarin dose with the following algorithm to initiate apixaban:
1. INR < 2; stop warfarin and start apixaban
2. INR 2.0 to 3.0; hold warfarin for 2 days, start apixaban on day 3
3. INR > 3.0 to 4.0; hold warfarin for 4 days, start apixaban on day 5
4. INR > 4.0; hold warfarin for 2 days, recheck INR, refer to steps 1, 2, or 3
