Review Multicenter Study Meta Analysis Comparative Study
Direct oral anticoagulant- vs vitamin K antagonist-related nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage.
To compare the neuroimaging profile and clinical outcomes among patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) related to use of vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) or direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). ⋯ DOAC-related ICH is associated with smaller baseline hematoma volume and lesser neurologic deficit at hospital admission compared to VKA-related ICH.
