Characteristics of chronic subdural haematomas related to DOACs vs warfarin
For CSDH patients, DOACs may potentially be a safer method of anticoagulation as opposed to warfarin as they appear to be linked to the development of smaller sized hematomas and reduced midline shift, although there was no significant difference in GCS between the groups. These features are known to reduce the risk of needing neurosurgical intervention for CSDH. This is important in influencing the management of an increasingly ageing, multi-morbid population on increasing amounts of anticoagulation medication.
