- Germany’s Federal Joint Committee (Gemeinsamer Bundesausschuss G-BA) decided to expand the guideline for care of hip fractures to include regulations on testing for DOACs.
The G-BA also mentions the DOASENSE DOAC Dipstick as suitable DOAC test:
"For all four common DOAKs, a urine dipstick test with colour coding is also available, which indicates with very high reliability whether relevant active substance concentrations are present in the urine".

“When every minute counts” is best illustrated by this article, evidencing the importance of rapid treatment and therefore DOAC testing for ischemic patients.
“Among patients aged 65 years or older with acute ischemic stroke, who were treated with tissue plasminogen activator, shorter door to needle time were associated with lower all-cause mortality and lower all-cause readmission at 1 year. The findings support efforts to shorten time to thrombolytic therapy":
