Overall summary: acute treatment studies

  • All DOACs non-inferior to standard therapy

– important reductions in major bleeding with apixaban and rivaroxaban single drug treatment – No reduction in major bleeding for dabigatran and edoxaban dual drug treatment

  • Major bleeding is less severe with DOACs

– less fatal bleeds – less critical organ bleeds (intracranial, retroperitoneal) – presentation and course of major bleeding less severe with DOACs

  • Results are consistent for subgroups
