Abstract
PT may be used as screening test to assess the risk of bleedings. A more specific and sensitive assay such as Biophen DiXaI using calibrators should be used to confirm the concentration of rivaroxaban. We also propose cut-off associated with a bleeding or thrombosis risk based on pharmacokinetic studies. Standardization of the time between the last intake of rivaroxaban and the sampling is mandatory.
