RESUMEN
The risk for complications associated with joint and soft-tissue injections in patients taking direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) is not fully understood. In this retrospective evaluation of 445 inpatients in a rehabilitation hospital who received corticosteroid injections, complications were compared in patients on DOACs with those who were not. After a review of all injections, no adverse events of significant bleeding (intra-articular or extra-articular) were observed. These findings suggest no substantial increase in adverse events associated with the use of DOACs when performing joint and soft-tissue injection procedures in inpatient rehabilitation setting.
