Age-adjusted mortality rate increased for men versus women and Black versus White patients

Findings seen among adults prescribed warfarin, DOACs beyond six months after acute venous thromboembolism

Findings based on several criteria in patients with ischemic stroke due to anterior circulation large vessel occlusions

However, no short-term adverse clinical outcomes seen for these patients versus low-risk patients without concerning findings

No reduction seen in risk of antithrombotic events but increased risk of major and minor bleeding

Indefinite anticoagulation prevented recurrent VTE events, but induced major bleeding events

Systematic review showed risk for death and major bleeding complications was lower for catheter-directed thrombolysis than systemic thrombolysis

Direct oral anticoagulants noninferior to low-molecular-weight heparin for venous thromboembolism prevention

While absolute risk difference is small, higher risk seen for both deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism

Increase in PE diagnosis and higher proportion of low-risk PEs, with lower proportion of ICU admissions
