Filter by:Main research question: What is the present venous thrombosis incidence and what are the current practices of prescribing thromboprophylaxis in patients with multiple myeloma (MM)? Design: The present study is a retrospective cohort study. The patients will be selected from the electronic patient dossier (EPD) of the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG). The present study will include newly diagnosed adult patients with a first MM at the UMCG between 1st of January 2014 and 1st of September 2021. The primary outcome of the study is the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) with one year of diagnosis of MM. The investigators will also describe the various thromboprophylaxis regimens used and their corresponding VTE incidence. The secondary outcome will be the incidence of arterial thrombosis (AT) within the same period of time. Possible confounders are the therapy administered for MM, thromboprophylaxis type, age and patient comorbidities. Lastly, the third outcome will be a description of current thromboprophylaxis practices in the UMCG. Each outcome will be described separately. Expected results: Based on the study by de Waal et al in which they included 474 MM patients treated at the UMCG and at 4 hospitals in the province Friesland, the investigators expect to record a VTE incidence of approximately 15%.
Retrospective monocentric registry to evaluate the efficacy and safety of different anticoagulants in patients with thromboembolic antiphospholipid syndrome
This study will be a multicenter clustered randomized trial of patients in hospitals in which a universal "SMART on FHIR" platform-based EHR-embedded IMPROVE DD VTE clinical prediction rules (CPRs) with electronic order entry has been incorporated into required admission and discharge EHR workflow versus hospitals following UMC for VTE risk assessment of medically ill patients. The patient population will consist of hospitalized, medically ill (non-surgical, non-obstetrical) individuals aged > 60 years.
The objective of this study is to characterize and compare the risks of long-term use of oral contraceptives containing drospirenone and of other established oral contraceptives.
