Clinical Trial: Evaluation of the Relationship Between Muscle Mass Measured by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis and the Risk of Hemorrhagic Events Under Direct Oral Anticoagulants in the Elderly

U.S., Sept. 16 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07173075) titled 'Evaluation of the Relationship Between Muscle Mass Measured by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis and the Risk of Hemorrhagic Events Under Direct Oral Anticoagulants in the Elderly' on Sept. 08.

Brief Summary: This study aims to assess whether reduced muscle mass is associated with an increased risk of bleeding in the elderly receiving direct oral anticoagulant therapy.

The researchers will compare the muscle mass of patients who experienced a hemorrhage (case) with that of patients who did not (control).

Muscle mass is a key criterion in the assessment of sarcopenia and malnutrition, two conditions frequently associated with aging...
