Raw rates presented as counts (%). Hazard ratios presented for OAC + ASA compared with OAC alone. Major bleeding defined by International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis criteria.

*

For nuisance bleeding odds ratios are presented, as dates of events are not included in the analysis.

OAC: oral anticoagulation; ASA: aspirin; HR: hazard ratio; CI: confidence interval.
