Overview

Systematic review finds DOACs increase arterial thrombosis risk in antiphospholipid syndrome patients, suggesting caution.

Key Points

  • Core analysis shows no significant difference in venous thromboembolism rates between DOAC and VKA.
  • Triple-positive APS patients have a threefold higher risk of thromboembolism recurrence with DOAC.
  • Meta-analysis involved 11 studies with 1813 participants, ensuring robust data evaluation.
  • Findings indicate that while DOACs are comparably safe, they raise arterial thrombosis risk, favoring warfarin.
