50% of DOAC Doses are Inappropriate in Older Adults? On The Role of Appropriate Dosing
Anticoagulation Forum shared on LinkedIn:
”Did you know? Up to 50% of DOAC doses are inappropriate in older adults—with underdosing being more common than overdosing.
Underdosing can actually increase the risk of stroke, systemic embolism, and cardiovascular hospitalizations, without reducing bleed risk.

- Dosing best practices
- Managing fall risk
- Addressing modifiable bleeding risk factors
- Choosing the right anticoagulant through individualized, shared decision-making
