Choosing Antithrombotic Therapy For Elderly Patients With Afib Who Are At Risk For Falls:"The benefits of warfarin therapy in stroke prevention have been demonstrated in other trials.1 Warfarin therapy is not without risk, and prescribers are especially concerned about adverse outcomes when prescribing warfarin to elderly patients at risk of falling. Approximately one-third of community-living elderly persons experience falls annually.2 It is not known if warfarin therapy is actually associated with an increased incidence of subdural hematoma (SDH) in patients who are at risk for falls."
