Abstract Background Limited data exist on the prevalence of gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) in patients with new‐onset atrial fibrillation (AF) and the impact of GIB on the initiation of oral anticoagulation (OAC) therapy. Methods A population‐based registry‐linkage study included all patients diagnosed with new‐onset AF in Finland during 2010–2018 who

Objective Antiphospholipid antibody (aPL) syndrome (APS) classification requires a thrombotic event and detection of lupus anticoagulant (LAC), anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL), or anti–β2‐glycoprotein I (anti‐β2GPI) antibodies on two occasions ≥12 weeks apart. Here, we investigated the utility of anti–phosphatidylserine/prothrombin complex (anti‐PS/PT)
