Citrated Kaolin Reaction Time on Thromboelastography 6s Identifies Bleeding-Prone Phenotypes in Older Adults with Atrial Fibrillation Receiving Direct Oral Anticoagulant Therapy.

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Older adults with atrial fibrillation (AF) receiving direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) remain at increased bleeding risk, and conventional clinical scores offer limited predictive value. Thromboelastography (TEG6s) provides point-of-care assessment of global hemostasis; however, its clinical utility remains unclear. This study investigated the association between TEG6s parameters and bleeding events in...
