Siobhan Calafiore: Clinical Advantages of Apixaban Over Rivaroxaban in Reducing Bleeding Risk
Siobhan Calafiore, Senior Journalist at the limbic, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article she authored, published in The Limbic:
“This week I reported on the landmark COBRRA trial addressing one of the common clinical dilemmas for haematologists treating community-acquired blood clots, ‘which anticoagulant do I give my patient?’
For years, clinical guidelines have been unable to preference one DOAC over the other due to a complete lack of head-to-head trials.
The latest findings suggest while both DOACs work well to prevent recurrent blood clots, apixaban is safer than rivaroxaban, more than halving the risk of bleeding.
Australia had a big role to play in this practice-changing study and I was lucky enough to chat to Australia’s lead investigator Vivien Chen about the practical difference these findings will make in everyday practice around the world. ”
