Overview

OAC use does not fully explain rising ICH admissions; leaves open other contributors while supporting low rates in supervised clinics.

Structured PICO

Does oral anticoagulant use explain the recent rise in admission rates of intracerebral haemorrhages?

P
Population
Patients admitted to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary (ARI) with intracerebral bleedings between 1993 and 1998, and outpatients followed up in the OAC Clinic at ARI.
I
Intervention
Oral anticoagulant (OAC) use (warfarin)
C
Comparator
Historical rates (1993 vs 1998) and non-OAC use
O
Outcome
Admission rate of intracerebral haemorrhages and absolute risk of intracranial haemorrhagesafety

The incidence of intracranial haemorrhage in a supervised OAC clinic was acceptably low at 0.33% per year, and the overall increase in intracerebral haemorrhage admissions could not be fully explained by increased OAC use.
