		Patients taking DOACs	Matched patients	Difference, OR (95% CI)	P values
Admission to operation interval	Median (range)	19 hours (7–64)	19 hours (3–44)	−0.9 (−2.4 to 3.3)	0.3*
Perioperative change in haemoglobin concentration	Mean (range)	23 g/L (0–49)	23 g/L (1–47)	−0.2 (−4.6 to 4.2)	0.9†
Blood transfusion	Count (%)	11 (18)	6 (10)	0.5 (0.1 to 1.6)	0.3‡
Reoperation for wound complication	Count (%)	3 (5)	0 (0)	0 (0 to 2.4)	0.2‡
30-Day mortality	Count (%)	1 (2)	5 (8)	5.0 (0.6 to 236)	0.2‡
