DOACs, direct acting oral anticoagulants; DVT, deep venous thrombosis; PE, pulmonary embolism; traditional anticoagulation refers to low-molecular weight heparin or vitamin K antagonists.

*

Only major bleeding was reported.

1

Number includes splanchnic vein thrombosis.

2

Only reported patient-years of bleeding.

Child-Pugh class, bleeding, and thrombosis have been reported for the entire study population (N).
