“…Risk factors for ICH include increasing age, hypertension, concomitant antiplatelet drug use, reduced platelet count, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, history of stroke/transient ischemic attack, history of bleeding, and ethnicity (Asian, Latin American, or Black) [ 41 ]. Interestingly, two recent meta-analyses focused on the risk of ICH in patients taking DOACs versus VKAs [ 42 , 43 ]. The first, including 82,404 NVAF patients from 19 RCTs confirmed, in agreement with literature data, an almost 50% reduction in risk of ICH with DOACs compared to VKAs showing that, among the four DOACs, dabigatran 110 mg was associated with the lowest risk of ICH [ 42 ].…”
