Abstract
In AF patients taking NOACs, being underweight was associated with an increased risk of major bleeding and all-cause death compared with being normal weight or overweight to obese, whereas the risk of thromboembolism was not different. Dose reduction should be considered in underweight patients who are at high risk for bleeding.
