What should be discussed when considering the benefits and risks of anticoagulation use?
When discussing the benefits and risks of anticoagulation use, clinical risk profiles and personal preferences should be taken into account. It should be discussed that for most people, the benefit of anticoagulation outweighs the bleeding risk, but for people with an increased risk of bleeding, the benefit of anticoagulation may not always outweigh the bleeding risk and careful monitoring of bleeding risk is important.
