First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tracks 150 patients who leave the hospital with a prescription for blood thinners (anticoagulants). Researchers want to see how many return to the emergency room within 90 days due to dangerous bleeding or blood clots caused by the medication. The goal is to better understand the real-world risks of these common drugs.
