Are oral anticoagulants a risk factor for mild traumatic brain injury progression? A single-center experience focused on of direct oral anticoagulants and vitamin K antagonists.

In our series, anticoagulation was associated to a significant increase in intracranial progression, leaving the question open as to what this implies in current clinical practice; subdural hematoma was the major finding associated to evolution and surgery. Against this background, further studies are needed to clarify patients' management and DOAC safety profile compared to VKA in mild TBI.
