Patient groups comprising individuals with alcohol addiction and hemophilia were incorporated as well with a view to the paucity of available literature on these groups.

The share of departments reporting routine submission of different patient groups to cranial computed tomography (CCT) was 38 (95%) for patients taking antiplatelet agents, 39 (97.5%) departments for patients taking vitamin K antagonists (VKAs), 39 (97.5%) for patients taking direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), 11 (27.5%) for patients with alcohol addiction, and 28 (70%) for patients with known hemophilia. Considering the separate groups of patients not living in a nursing facility vs. those living in a nursing facility, inpatient admission occurred for 63% vs. 44% of patients taking antiplatelet agents, for 78% vs. 61% of patients taking VKAs, 80.5% vs. 63.4% of patients taking DOACs, 17.1% vs. 17% of patients with alcohol addiction, and 51.2% vs. 43.9% of patients with hemophilia. Statistically significant regional differences in inpatient admission were found in the group with hemophilia (living and not living in a nursing facility) as well as in the group with DOAC intake (living in a nursing facility).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Regional differences in the treatment of the studied patient groups exist within Austria, particularly regarding in-house admission of patients.
