Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a rare autoimmune disease (incidence <1/100,000 population) responsible for the destruction of red blood cells by the host immune system, notably through the action of autoantibodies. Apart from complications related to anemia, the occurrence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in this population is frequent, estimated at 20-27%. The risk of VTE is highest during the period of hemolysis, especially during the first 3 months after the diagnosis of AIHA. This risk is 7.5 [4.7; 12.0] times greater than in the general population. No clinical predictive factor for VTE was identified and the usual factors (cancer, previous VTE, bed rest >3 days, surgery, age >70 years, heart or respiratory failure, myocardial infarction, stroke, obesity, hormone replacement therapy) were not considered. Several biological risk factors have been suggested (depth of anemia, bilirubin level, leukocyte count, antiphospholipid antibodies) but have not been confirmed in other studies. AIHA is therefore a risk factor for VTE in its own right, and the National Diagnostic and Care Protocol (NDCP) recommends the implementation of VTE prevention during acute hemolysis (Grade C). However, the value of this prophylaxis has never been prospectively evaluated and its duration is empirical. In practice, low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) is generally used during "flare-ups" of AIHA (diagnosis and relapse) in hospitalized patients, but is rarely continued beyond the hospital phase when VTE also occurs in ambulatory patients. Thus, we hypothesize that prolonged preventive anticoagulation during the 12-week risk period following diagnosis or relapse of AIHA could decrease the incidence of VTE. In orthopedic surgery, this strategy has been proven to decrease VTE from 50% to 10-15%. In certain high-risk medical situations, prolonged prophylaxis with apixaban has been shown to decrease the occurrence of VTE from 10.2% to 4.2% in solid cancers4 and from 4-11% to 2% in myeloma.
A 9-month randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to compare the effect of fixed dose ferric citrate versus placebo in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (eGFR ≤20 ml/min/1.73m2) on the composite endpoint of time to initiation of maintenance dialysis or all-cause mortality.
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of once daily dosing of vadadustat for the treatment of pediatric participants with anemia of chronic kidney disease (CKD) naive to erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) treatment.
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of once daily dosing of vadadustat for the treatment of pediatric participants with anemia of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) after conversion from an Erythropoiesis Stimulating Agent (ESA).
Recently, the french societies for critical care (SFAR and SRLF) produced guidelines for anemia treatment in critically ill patients that recommend the use of erythropoietin (EPO) in these patients, but the european society (ESICM) recommended against the use of EPO in this patients, despite recent meta analysis showing a lower mortality in patients treated with EPO. Nevertheless, RCT on EPO in the ICU are quite all, new data are thus needed. Before conducting a large study on EPO in anemic patients in the ICU, we propose to cinduct a feasability RCT to evaluate the feasability of such a study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of weekly iron and folic acid (IFA) supplementation and one-time deworming treatment at the community level in improving hemoglobin levels among adolescent girls in Liberia, West Africa, and to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of a targeted nutrition education program in improving nutrition knowledge, attitudes, and practices in the same population.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of parsaclisib compared with placebo in participants with Primary Warm Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (wAIHA),
Anemia is a frequent complication of gastrointestinal bleeding, affecting 61% of the patients. Currently, anemia caused by gastrointestinal bleeding can be treated with iron supplementation. However, the dose and route of the administration are still a question. The FIERCE clinical trial aims to compare the effect of intravenous iron supplementation and oral iron replacement on mortality, unplanned emergency visits, and hospital readmissions in multimorbid patients with acute nonvariceal gastrointestinal bleeding.
This study is designed to inform The DHS Program on whether there are variations in hemoglobin concentration using the DHS standard technique of a single drop of capillary blood and alternative blood sources (pooled capillary and venous blood) using the HemoCue 201+ analyzer compared to venous blood using a clinical hematology autoanalyzer. Research Objectives: 1. To determine if there are differences in the hemoglobin concentration between a single drop of capillary blood (blood drop #3) and a pooled drop of capillary blood measured on the HemoCue 201+ analyzer in apparently healthy non-pregnant women age 15-49 and children age 6-59 months in a controlled setting (i.e., blood specimens are collected in a laboratory setting). 2. To determine if there are differences in the hemoglobin concentration between a single drop of capillary blood (blood drop #3) measured on the HemoCue 201+ analyzer against venous blood measured on HemoCue 201+ analyzer and a clinical autoanalyzer in apparently healthy non-pregnant women age 15-49 and children age 6-59 months in a controlled and field setting. 3. To determine if there are differences in the hemoglobin concentration between a pooled drop of capillary blood measured on the HemoCue 201+ analyzer against venous blood measured on HemoCue 201+ analyzer and a clinical autoanalyzer in apparently healthy non-pregnant women age 15-49 and children age 6-59 months in a controlled and field setting. 4. To compare results of hemoglobin distribution and estimates of anemia prevalence using two types of capillary blood (single drop and pooled) and venous blood measured on the HemoCue 201+ analyzer and a clinical autoanalyzer using venous blood in a controlled and field setting.
