Natalia Kovtun: Comparing Gastrointestinal Bleeding Rates Between DOAC Monotherapy and Aspirin

Natalia Kovtun, Internist at Baptist Health Deaconess Madisonville and Marion Veterans Affairs Medical Center, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Pier-Valerio Mari et al., published in Gastrointestinal Disorders, adding:

“Direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) monotherapy and aspirin users have comparable upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleed rates whereas DOAC users have numerically lower rates of lower GI bleed (LGIB) rates in the emergency department (ED).

These findings, from a retrospective study, were published in Gastrointestinal Disorders.”

Title: Site of Gastrointestinal Bleeding in Patients on Direct Oral Anticoagulants Versus Aspirin Monotherapy: A Single-Centre Retrospective Cohort Study

Authors: Pier-Valerio Mari, Annalisa Schifano, Angela Saviano, Andrea Piccioni, Giacomo Costati, Carmine Petruzziello, Veronica Ojetti
