Direct oral anticoagulants in the prevention of venous thromboembolism following surgery for hip fracture in older adults: a population-based cohort study

Abstract:

Introduction: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) decrease the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) without increasing the risk of hemorrhage in elective lower limb orthopedic surgery. However, the role of DOACs in preventing VTE following hip fracture surgery in the older adults remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of DOACs in older adults undergoing surgery for hip fracture.
