Mortality in relation to presence and type of oral antithrombotic agent among adult trauma patients: a single-center retrospective cohort study.

Purpose: Oral anticoagulants (AC) and antiplatelet (AP) agents are increasingly prescribed to prevent and treat acute and chronic thrombotic conditions. The direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC), a newer class of AC, raise concerns in the trauma setting. Our study aims to compare the mortality rates and other outcomes among adult trauma patients based on pre-admission AC/AP status.
