Is anticoagulation safe for elderly patients with a history of falls and atrial fibrillation?

For elderly patients with a history of falls and atrial fibrillation, anticoagulation can reduce stroke risk but increases bleeding risk. DOACs may be preferable due to a better safety profile compared to VKAs. Individualized risk assessment and careful monitoring are essential.
