Abstract
Although individual trials with Target Specific Oral Anticoagulants (TSOACs) have shown decreased rates of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), there is limited data regarding the absolute and relative benefit of TSOACs in prevention of ICH. We performed a meta analysis to evaluate the absolute risk of ICH with TSOACs in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), using data from the most recent clinical trials.
