Description

In this report we compared risk of stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, and bleeding outcomes associated with use of dabigatran, rivaroxaban, and apixaban in those aged 65 years or older in the Sentinel Distributed Database (SDD).

The study period included data from October 19, 2010 to September 30, 2015. We distributed this request to 1 Data Partner on December 20, 2019.
