Statistical methods / analysis
Around 240,000 Australian patients are currently on OAC of which around 13% are on a new oral anticoagulant (NOAC). Major bleeding occurs in 2-3% of patients on OAC and embolism in 1-2% per year. 2000 patients will be recruited to obtain a cross-sectional sample to document the standard of care for these patients.
