What factors contribute to cost conversations about anticoagulation treatment between patients with atrial fibrillation and their clinicians, and what outcomes are associated with these conversations? In this cohort study of 830 audiovisual recordings of encounters and participant surveys from a randomized trial comparing atrial fibrillation care with and without a shared decision-making (SDM) tool, cost conversations were associated with the use of an SDM tool, with middle-income patients, and with consultations conducted by female primary care staff clinicians. Cost conversations were associated with patients’ decision-making processes but not final treatment choice. These findings suggest that SDM tools may inform efforts to promote cost conversations in practice, an important consideration when increasing costs of care are being passed on to patients. This cohort study, a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial, assesses factors contributing to cost conversations about care plans between clinicians and patients with atrial fibrillation. How patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and their clinicians consider cost in forming care plans remains unknown. To identify factors that inform conversations regarding costs of anticoagulants for treatment of AF between patients and clinicians and outcomes associated with these conversations. This cohort study of recorded encounters and participant surveys at 5 US medical centers (including academic, community, and safety-net centers) from the SDM4AFib randomized trial compared standard AF care with and without use of a shared decision-making (SDM) tool. Included patients were considering anticoagulation treatment and were recruited by their clinicians between January 30, 2017, and June 27, 2019. Data were analyzed between August and November 2019. The incidence of and factors associated with cost conversations, and the association of cost conversations with patients’ consideration of treatment cost burden and their choice of anticoagulation. A total of 830 encounters (out of 922 enrolled participants) were recorded. Patients’ mean (SD) age was 71.0 (10.4) years; 511 patients (61.6%) were men, 704 (86.0%) were White, 303 (40.9%) earned between $40 000 and $99 999 in annual income, and 657 (79.2%) were receiving anticoagulants. Clinicians’ mean (SD) age was 44.8 (13.2) years; 75 clinicians (53.2%) were men, and 111 (76%) practiced as physicians, with approximately half (69 [48.9%]) specializing in either internal medicine or cardiology. Cost conversations occurred in 639 encounters (77.0%) and were more likely in the SDM arm (378 [90%] vs 261 [64%]; OR, 9.69; 95% CI, 5.77-16.29). In multivariable analysis, cost conversations were more likely to occur with female clinicians (66 [47%]; OR, 2.85; 95% CI, 1.21-6.71); consultants vs in-training clinicians (113 [75%]; OR, 4.0; 95% CI, 1.4-11.1); clinicians practicing family medicine (24 [16%]; OR, 12.12; 95% CI, 2.75-53.38]), internal medicine (35 [23%]; OR, 3.82; 95% CI, 1.25-11.70), or other clinicians (21 [14%]; OR, 4.90; 95% CI, 1.32-18.16) when compared with cardiologists; and for patients with an annual household income between $40 000 and $99 999 (249 [82.2%]; OR, 1.86; 95% CI, 1.05-3.29) compared with income below $40 000 or above $99 999. More patients who had cost conversations reported cost as a factor in their decision (244 [89.1%] vs 327 [69.0%]; OR 3.66; 95% CI, 2.43-5.50), but cost conversations were not associated with the choice of anticoagulation agent. Cost conversations were common, particularly for middle-income patients and with female and consultant-level primary care clinicians, as well as in encounters using an SDM tool; they were associated with patients’ consideration of treatment cost burden but not final treatment choice. With increasing costs of care passed on to patients, these findings can inform efforts to promote cost conversations in practice. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02905032
