Real-Life Peak and Trough Dabigatran Plasma Measurements Over Time in Hospitalized Geriatric Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

Background Few geriatric patients were included in studies on direct oral anticoagulants and data on dabigatran concentration and safety are needed in this population. Our objectives were to evaluate peak and trough dabigatran plasma concentrations over time in a geriatric population and to identify factors associated with dabigatran plasma concentrations and to assess the relationship with bleeding events.
