Effects of Direct Oral Anticoagulants on Quality of Life during Peri-procedural Management for Dental Extractions

Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have many advantages over warfarin regarding the peri-procedural management for dental extractions. They avoid the need to assess and possibly adjust warfarin therapy to achieve an appropriate hemostatic status before and after extraction. This study aimed to evaluate the real-life data regarding quality of life (QoL) and burden for patients with atrial fibrillation receiving long-term treatment with warfarin or DOACs during peri-procedural management for dental extraction.
