Abstract
Conclusions: Bleeding pattern was similar in both age groups regarding severity, onset, anatomic site of bleeding, and INR values during the bleeding event. Risk factors for episodes of major bleeding, which are more of a clinical concern, are potentially modifiable. They include quality of anticoagulation control in both groups and number of medications in the older age group.
