Vitamin K Antagonists and Risk of Subdural Hematoma
Stroke 45:1672-1678, Connolly, B.J.,et al, 2014
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
VKA use significantly increases the risk of subdural hematoma by �3-fold relative to antiplatelet therapy. Direct-acting oral anticoagulants are associated with a significantly reduced risk of subdural hematomas versus VKAs. Based on indirect comparisons to VKAs, the risks of subdural hematoma are similar with antiplatelet monotherapies and factor Xa inhibitors.
