<qa>  What is the name of the study that will be carried out in eight jurisdictions?The investigators will carry out separate population based cohort studies using health administrative databases in eight jurisdictions in Canada, the UK and the US. Cohorts will be defined by the initiation of a DOAC or warfarin on or after January 1, 2009, with an incident diagnosis of VTE having occurred within 30 days prior to the date of the prescription for the DOAC or warfarin. Follow-up will continue until a hospitalization or emergency department visit for a major bleed. The results from separate sites will be combined to provide an overall assessment of the risk of major bleeding in DOAC users.
