Abstract
The availability of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) rapidly changed the landscape of anticoagulation between 2010-present. Randomized controlled trials demonstrating efficacy with similar or superior safety compared to warfarin led to widespread use of DOACs in male and female patients of all ages. Years later, post-marketing data demonstrated a markedly increased rate of heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) with rivaroxaban that had gone undetected in registry trials. Factor XI (FXI) inhibitors are currently being investigated as another alternative to available anticoagulation agents. While generally mild, the phenotype of inherited FXI deficiency includes bleeding in tissues with enhanced fibninolysis, including HMB. Thus, we aimed to perform a systematic review of published studies on FXI inhibitors in order to estimate rates of HMB. However, we found that few studies included menstruating individuals and even fewer specifically reported on uterine bleeding, highlighting once again a flaw in our approach to conducting trials of new anticoagulants.
期刊介绍：

It is dedicated to advancing science related to thrombosis, bleeding disorders, and vascular biology through the dissemination and exchange of information and ideas within the global research community.
Types of Publications:
The journal publishes a variety of content, including:
Original research reports
State-of-the-art reviews
Brief reports
Case reports
Invited commentaries on publications in the Journal
Forum articles
Correspondence
Announcements
Scope of Contributions:
Editors invite contributions from both fundamental and clinical domains. These include:
Basic manuscripts on blood coagulation and fibrinolysis
Studies on proteins and reactions related to thrombosis and haemostasis
Research on blood platelets and their interactions with other biological systems, such as the vessel wall, blood cells, and invading organisms
Clinical manuscripts covering various topics including venous thrombosis, arterial disease, hemophilia, bleeding disorders, and platelet diseases
Clinical manuscripts may encompass etiology, diagnostics, prognosis, prevention, and treatment strategies.
