LO84: The incidence of fall-related intracranial bleeding in older adults taking anticoagulants, antiplatelets and neither medication: a meta-analysis

Abstract

Introduction: It is unclear whether anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications increase the risk for intracranial bleeding in older adults after a fall. Our aim was to report the incidence of intracranial bleeding among older adults presenting to the emergency department (ED) with a fall, among patients taking anticoagulants, antiplatelet medications, both medications and neither medication.
