Membrane plasmapheresis is one of the methods for treating immune diseases. Plasmapheresis removes autoantibodies and immune complexes, paraproteins, lipoproteins and reduces the concentration of cytokines. In membrane plasmapheresis, plasma is separated from blood cells by a highly permeable membrane. The filtered plasma is then discarded and replaced with replacement fluid. During the procedure, there is an activation of the coagulation system, because of the extracorporeal blood circulation. The anticoagulation during the procedure is therefore necessary.
The primary objectives of the BiPhox-Trial are to demonstrate, that the use of Biphozyl® as a replacement fluid in adult critically ill acute kidney injury (AKI) patients, results in a lower rate of pH excursions and of bicarbonate (HCO3-) excursions compared to the use of Phoxilium® during the studied continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) interval with regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA). The secondary objectives of the BiPhox-Trial are to evaluate the time to pH level normalization and the HCO3- substitution rates after initiation of CVVH treatment. Further, to demonstrate that the use of Biphozyl® as a replacement fluid in adult critically ill AKI patients, results in a more stable acid-base-status as well as improved respiratory situation due to lower intracorporeal HCO3- and carbon dioxide levels compared to the use of Phoxilium® during the studied CVVH interval with RCA.
The healthcare system in Sweden is publicly funded and aims to provide equal access to care irrespective of socioeconomic status. This includes ensuring equity in drug treatment. Socioeconomic disparities have been shown to influence patient management and health outcomes in certain Swedish populations. The Swedish Board of Health and Welfare has stated that the prescription of new drugs, which are more expensive than generic standard of care drugs, might be influenced by patients' socioeconomic status. To evaluate the association between socioeconomic factors and use of a DOAC (rivaroxaban, dabigatran, or apixaban) or standard of care (warfarin) in patients with NVAF in Sweden.
This study evaluate thermal ALD (T-ALD) and plasma-enhance ALD (PE-ALD) processes modified cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) tubing to investigate anticoagulation properties.
Introduction: The ambulatory care pharmacist service is a vision that is supported by several national pharmacy associations and expected by many clinical environments. However, pharmacists practicing in such settings often lack the data to demonstrate their value for the services they provide. Consequently, clinical services provided by pharmacists are not viewed as a billable expense and reimbursements are bundled with drug dispensing. Thus, if a pharmacy service is to sustain for the long-term, it is imperative to develop a value model to support monetary compensation for the cognitive services provided. Background and Significance: Anticoagulation with warfarin is a high risk therapy involving complex dosing, monitoring, and ensuring adherence to outpatient therapy. Monitoring anticoagulation intensity utilizing the prothrombin time (PT) and the international normalized ratio (INR) is used to determine the effectiveness of anticoagulation therapy. The proportion of time the INR is within the therapeutic range (TTR) is considered a surrogate measure of anticoagulation control and is associated with lower rates of major bleeds and thromboembolism. Pharmacist managed anticoagulation clinics eliminate the waiting period between lab work from an external facility and decisions from physicians. Pharmacists practicing in anticoagulation clinics with point-of-care INR testing usually practice under a collaborative agreement, which allows them to adjust and reverse warfarin dosing based on established protocols. This reduces the wait time and is expected to increase patient satisfaction. Despite the wide acceptance of pharmacist-managed anticoagulation clinics, there is inconsistent evidence to support prevention of major bleeding. Methods: This is an IRB-approved prospective, unblinded randomized controlled trial of the clinical impact of home anticoagulation monitoring. The study will enroll all patients (who meet eligibility criteria) who require long-term anticoagulation therapy from a pharmacist-managed anticoagulation clinic. Expected Outcomes: The purpose of this study is to evaluate if self- monitoring in addition to pharmacist review will increase the TTR. This will allow university- based pharmacists to provide care for more patients effectively in addition to their academic duties.
To quantify rates of bleeding events and investigate the characteristics of prescribed patients, rates of bleeding events, persistence and healthcare resource utilization of Oral Anticoagulants (OACs) prescribed in routine clinical practice.
The present study will be conducted to assess the following research questions in real-life conditions in France: What are the patient and disease characteristics, comorbidities and treatment history in NVAF patients initiating a new Anticoagulant (AC) treatment, according to treatment currently available and prescribed (apixaban, other NOACs, VKAs), and are the AC-naive patient profiles different from one treatment pattern to another when initiating a new AC treatment? What are the HCP's reasons for discontinuing the previous AC strategy for initiating and choosing the newly initiated AC treatment in NVAF patients? What are the conditions of newly-initiated apixaban prescriptions in NVAF patients: prescriber, proportion of naïve/experienced patients, daily dosage and number of daily doses?
The aim of this study is to perform a randomized trial comparing the use of the algorithm, with dosing of warfarin in standard manual dosage clinical practice, in a high quality anticoagulant setting (PSM). This is done for safety concerns and to ensure good performance of the algorithm when used in a clinical setup. The results from the study are expected to increase our knowledge of efficacy by using the algorithm in clinical practice.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the APIXABAN use in the Prevention of Stroke and Systemic Embolism in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation in Real-Life Setting in France, data from SNIIRAM (French data base).
