5. Conclusions
From this study, we drew the primary conclusion that the use of the CDSS might improve the proportion of patients prescribed guideline-directed antithrombotic therapy. GPs in AF special consulting rooms of the software group had a positive attitude toward the CDSS. The finding indicated that it was feasible to further promote the CDSS in the study among community health centers in China, and a scientific, randomized, controlled trial was needed to verify the effectiveness of the CDSS in China's primary care.
