Demographic characteristics, clinical measurements, comorbidities, and antithrombotic medication categories were extracted from medical records. Latent class analysis was performed in 458 patients with at least two documented comorbidities using 11 binary indicators. Models containing one to six classes were compared using information criteria, entropy, the bootstrap likelihood ratio test, class size, and clinical interpretability. Stability of the selected solution was assessed using 100 bootstrap resamples.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The median age was 74 years, 460 patients (65.7%) were male, and 581 (83.0%) were receiving at least one antithrombotic medication. A five-class solution was selected. Class 1 (n = 26, 5.7%) was characterized by deep venous thrombosis, hypertension, and cardiac disease; Class 2 (n = 97, 21.2%) by heart valve replacement and cardiac disease; Class 3 (n = 55, 12.0%) by stroke, cardiac disease, and hypertension; Class 4 (n = 151, 33.0%) by hypertension and cardiac disease; and Class 5 (n = 129, 28.2%) by a broader multisystem profile involving cardiac disease, hypertension, diabetes, renal disease, and gastrointestinal disease. Vitamin K antagonist (VKA) use was most frequent in Classes 1 and 2, whereas direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) use was most frequent in Class 4. Bootstrap analysis indicated moderate overall stability.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study describes clinically relevant heterogeneity among hospitalized bleeding cases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fsysb.2026.1917159","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,24]],"date-time":"2026-09-24T05:44:34Z","timestamp":1790228674000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Latent multimorbidity classes and antithrombotic medication distributions among patients hospitalized for bleeding after dental surgery: a retrospective study"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Juliane","family":"Wagner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein, Campus Kiel","place":["Kiel, Germany"]},{"name":"Cluster of Excellence, Precision medicine in inflammation, Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel","place":["Kiel, Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Johannes Heinrich","family":"Spille","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein, Campus Kiel","place":["Kiel, Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jill","family":"Flor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein, Campus Kiel","place":["Kiel, Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zeyue","family":"Ouyang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein, Campus Kiel","place":["Kiel, Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jonas","family":"Conrad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic of Conservative Dentistry and Periodontology, University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein, Campus Kiel","place":["Kiel, Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christof","family":"D\u00f6rfer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic of Conservative Dentistry and Periodontology, University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein, Campus Kiel","place":["Kiel, Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J\u00f6rg","family":"Wiltfang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein, Campus Kiel","place":["Kiel, Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hendrik","family":"Naujokat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein, Campus Kiel","place":["Kiel, Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"990","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joms.2008.12.027","article-title":"Randomized, prospective trial comparing bridging therapy using low-molecular-weight heparin with maintenance of oral anticoagulation during extraction of teeth","volume":"67","author":"Bajkin","year":"2009","journal-title":"J.
