incidence and cost of bleeding events requiring hospitalization in patients with atrial fibrillation treated with acenocoumarol, in Greece.

CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of bleeding events in AF acenocoumarol-treated patients in Greece, as well as, the estimated annual economic burden for the management of bleeding events requiring hospitalization, emphasize the need to comply with the current guidelines and to optimize therapeutic strategies for the management of AF side-effects with oral anticoagulants, especially in patients with high bleeding risk.
