The aim of this study was to compare the characteristics and outcomes of patients with respect to treatment using novel oral anticoagulants (NOAC). Materials and Methods: In this retrospective observational study, we analyzed medical records of patients diagnosed with DVT during 2019 in the ED of the Clinical Hospital Dubrava. We identified 295 patients, who comprised 1.2% of all patients examined in the ED. Results: Women were more frequently diagnosed with DVT (59%) and they were older than the men (median age 69 vs. 62 years, respectively). Patients with proximal deep vein thrombosis (71%) were admitted to the hospital. Two thirds of all patients were treated with NOAC. Rivaroxaban was the most commonly prescribed drug (52% of patients). Control Doppler ultrasound was performed in 58% of the patients, and complete resolution was observed in 63% of the cases. NOACs caused significantly fewer bleeding events than warfarin (3.2% vs. 13.6%, p < 0.05). Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that patients with DVT can be safely treated with NOACs in an outpatient setting.Ivan RadiljVlatko GrabovacZdravko MitrovićFaculty of Medicine Osijekarticledeep vein thrombosisemergency departmentnovel oral anticoagulantsrivaroxabanwarfarinbleedingMedicineRENSoutheastern European Medical Journal, Vol 5, Iss 2, Pp 18-26 (2021)
