The purpose of this study is to see if the participant's genetic profile and clinical factors (age, drug dose, etc.) affect drug outcomes (i.e. serious bleeding) that the participant may have experienced since taking the drug (direct oral anticoagulant) for preventing blood clots from forming in the blood vessels.
Genes can have variants or mutations that can increase the participant's risk for bleeding when receiving a direct oral anticoagulant (DOACs). The investigators will be studying participants on DOACs who have had bleeding and also participants who are on DOACs who did not have bleeding (control group). The goal of the study is to determine the accuracy of Cipherome's Drug Safety Score (DSS) in it's ability to predict adverse drug reactions (ADRs). A DSS score ranges from 0 to 1, with scores less than 0.3 correlated with a higher risk of ADRs and scores more than 0.7 correlated with a lower risk of ADRs. The participant's DSS score will be compared with the actual clinical outcome using a statistical test to determine the accuracy of the DSS.

Clinically relevant non-major bleeding
* Hospital admission for bleeding, or * Physician guided medical or surgical treatment for bleeding, or * Change in antithrombotic therapy (including interruption or discontinuation of study drug).
Time frame: Within 1 year of DOAC therapy initiation
Thromboembolic events
Thromboembolic events including, but not limited to: deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack, arterial thrombosis, or other thromboembolic event
Time frame: Within 1 year of DOAC therapy initiation
