Key result
Direct oral anticoagulants require specific knowledge of indications, dosing, monitoring, and perioperative management by general practitioners for the safe treatment of atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolism.
Why the study?
General practitioners increasingly encounter patients on direct anticoagulants due to an aging population with atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolism, necessitating an overview of their indications, dosing, monitoring, and perioperative management.
This review provides general practitioners with a practical overview of direct oral anticoagulants, including indications, dosing, monitoring, and perioperative management.
May warrant GP education on direct anticoagulants in older adults; leaves open outcome impact pending higher-level trials.
