Bleeding Events Up With Full-Dose Thromboprophylaxis in COVID-19
Almost all hospitalized COVID-19 patients with a bleeding event were receiving mechanical ventilation, full-dose anticoagulation
Adding a P2Y12 Inhibitor Does Not Improve Outcomes in COVID-19
Adding a P2Y12 inhibitor to a therapeutic dose of heparin does not improve outcomes among non-critically ill patients hospitalized for COVID-19
Frail Patients With Nonvalvular A-Fib Less Likely to Receive Anticoagulants
Frail patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation also less likely to receive a direct oral anticoagulant versus warfarin
Recurrent VTE Rate Higher Than Expected for Subsegmental PE

In patients undergoing knee arthroplasty, postoperative incidence of venous thromboembolism lower with milvexian versus enoxaparin
Therapeutic Heparin May Benefit Moderately Ill COVID-19 Inpatients
Among those with increased D-dimer levels, no reduction seen in primary composite outcome at 28 days, but odds of death decreased
COVID-19 Outcomes in Critically Ill No Better With Full-Dose Heparin
For patients hospitalized with COVID-19 who are not critically ill, therapeutic-dose anticoagulation is beneficial
Racial/Ethnic Disparities Seen in Anticoagulant Initiation for A-Fib
Disparities seen among VA patients both for initiating any anticoagulant therapy and for initiating direct-acting oral anticoagulant use
Rates of Adverse Events Lower With Apixaban for A-Fib in Older Adults
