Abstract

The article discusses a prospective cohort study that examines whether providing doctors with patients' pre-procedural risk of bleeding improve the use of bleeding avoidance strategies. Study highlights include the number of U.S. centres that participated in the study, bias, confounding, and other reasons for caution, and generalisability to other populations.
