Popis: Objective To evaluate rates of major bleeding (mBleed) associated with anticoagulant treatments in patients (pts) with age ≥75 years (y), referred to hospital in northwest Tuscany. Methods We analysed 4-y survey; 302,687 visits; catchment area 197,722 inhabitants, of whom 15,267 on Warfarin (W) and 10,397 on direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). DOACs were available in the catchment area since 4 y (dabigatran and rivaroxaban), 3 y (apixaban), and 2 y (edoxaban). Overall, 3,373 pts received dabigatran, 4,046 rivaroxaban, 2,141 apixaban, and 839 edoxaban. Pts with hemorrhage were submitted to propensity score matching for mBleed and stratified according to age ≥75 y, and W or DOACs. Primary endpoint was one-month death in pts with age ≥75 y. Results Out of 1,919 mBleed enrolled, those of pts aged ≥75 y were 1,127 (59%) versus (vs) 792 (41%) aged Patients on W showed higher rate of mBleed (n=175; 9.1%) compared to DOACs (n=53; 2.8%); p Warfarin or DOACs and outcomes Major Bleeding (pts ≥75 y) p value versus pts Patients with age >75 years and bleeding Conclusion In pts with age ≥75 y, rate of mBleed and short-term mortality were significantly higher than in pts aged
