Real-world safety profile of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs): Disproportionality analysis of major bleeding events

Edoxaban shows a significantly higher risk of major and cerebral haemorrhages compared to other DOACs, while Rivaroxaban demonstrates a lower overall risk of haemorrhage. These findings emphasize the need for careful consideration of bleeding risks in DOAC therapy. Continuous post-marketing surveillance is crucial for understanding the safety profiles of DOACs in real-world clinical settings, aiding clinicians and patients in making informed decisions about anticoagulant therapy.
