Real world data on characteristics and management of community patients receiving anticoagulation therapy who presented with acute bleeding to the emergency department at a regional Australian hospital: A prospective observational study.

Conclusion:Warfarin use was common among patients who presented with acute bleeding, and the INR in many warfarinised patients exceeded the target for their condition. DOACs were associated with a reduced likelihood for receiving reversal and with a shorter LoS when compared to warfarin, LMWH, which might support wider application of DOACs into community practice.
