Brief Summary
While DOACs are increasing in use in the EGS patient population, the risk of bleeding and the reversal of these agents to reduce hemorrhage is still evolving. Given the paucity of data regarding the impact of DOACs in this patient population, it becomes empiric to identify bleeding patterns and outcomes in the EGS population taking DOACs. We hypothesize that patients taking a DOAC will have a higher bleeding incidence and need for an unplanned intervention secondary to hemorrhage in EGS patients undergoing an urgent or emergent operation when compared to patients taking warfarin and antiplatelets.
