Article Synopsis
- The study examined major bleeding events in patients treated with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) versus direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) outside of controlled trials.
- It included 806 hospitalized patients, finding that intracranial hemorrhage occurred more often in VKA patients, while gastrointestinal bleeding was more common in DOAC patients.
- Mortality at 30 days was higher in VKA patients (18%) compared to DOAC patients (9%), although the death rates varied depending on the type of major bleeding.
