Filter by:ENROL, the European Rare Blood Disorders Platform has been conceived in the core of ERN-EuroBloodNet as an umbrella for both new and already existing registries on Rare Hematological Diseases (RHDs). ENROL aims at avoiding fragmentation of data by promoting the standards for patient registries' interoperability released by the EU RD platform. ENROL's principle is to maximize public benefit from data on RHDs opened up through the platform with the only restriction needed to guarantee patient rights and confidentiality, in agreement with EU regulations for cross-border sharing of personal data. Accordingly, ENROL will map the EU-level demographics, survival rates, diagnosis methods, genetic information, main clinical manifestations, and treatments in order to obtain epidemiological figures and identify trial cohorts for basic and clinical research. To this aim, ENROL will connect and facilitate the upgrading of existing RHD registries, while promoting the building of new ones when / where lacking. Target-driven actions will be carried out in collaboration with EURORDIS for educating patients and families about the benefits of enrolment in such registries, including different cultural and linguistic strategies. The standardized collection and monitoring of disease-specific healthcare outcomes through the ENROL user-friendly platform will determine how specialized care is delivered, where are the gaps in diagnosis, care, or treatment and where best to allocate financial, technical, or human resources. Moreover, it will allow for promoting research, especially for those issues that remain unanswered or sub-optimally addressed by the scientific community; furthermore, it will allow promoting clinical trials for new drugs. ENROL will enable the generation of evidence for better healthcare for RHD patients in the EU as the ultimate goal. ENROL officially started on 1st June 2020 with a duration of 36 months. ENROL is co-funded by the Health Programme of the European Union under the call for proposals HP-PJ-2019 on Rare disease registries for the European Reference Networks. GA number 947670
Adult patients on extracoporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) frequently experience bleeding, which is in part caused by acquired von Willebrand syndrome (vWS). Prior in vitro studies have shown that the addition of recombinant von Willebrand Factor (vWF) to ECMO patient blood samples, normalizes platelet adhesion and thrombus formation. This study is a phase I study, where adult ECMO patients with refractory bleeding will be treated with recombinant vWF a single time. The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of recombinant vWF in adult ECMO patients.
INTRODUCTION Knee supports, usually made with sponge cushion, are used to protect knee joint and prevent its injury. Sponge has less elasticity and durability compared with natural rubber. To our knowledge, there has been no study regarding effectiveness of natural rubber and sponge for knee joint protection and injury prevention in children with bleeding disorders. AIMS The study aimed to compare the effectiveness and satisfaction between natural rubber and sponge knee supports for knee joint protection among children with bleeding disorders METHODS The study had three phases: 1) measurement of compression force, 2) fabrication of knee supports, and 3) a randomized crossover trial. The supports were fabricated in 4 sizes, S, M, L, and XL. They comprised two parts: body, made from stretchable cotton; and cushion (protection part), made from either natural rubber or sponge. The trial included 8 weeks of alternatively wearing natural rubber knee support and sponge knee support with a 4-week wash-out period. Numbers of knee bleeds and satisfied users were recorded.
The goal of this multicenter prospective observational study and registry of U.S. adolescents and young adults with heritable bleeding disorders is to determine the bleeding outcomes, satisfaction, hemostatic parameter changes, and patient reported quality of life after 6 months of use of either of two commonly used hormonal treatments for menstrual suppression - levonorgestrel intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) and norethindrone acetate (NETA). Under this application we will compare the two treatments and compare outcomes after LNG-IUD treatment results to a control group without a bleeding disorder, with the goal of determining the benefits and expected outcomes of these treatment options for this population.
The goal of this study is to assess the physician and patient experience of radio frequency (RF) track cautery in patients undergoing needle biopsy of the liver, kidney, or spleen who have one or more risk factors for biopsy-related bleeding. RF track cautery involves inserting a bipolar electrode through the same introducer needle used for the biopsy, and heating the tissues along the path of the biopsy needle to prevent bleeding. This study primarily aims to assess the operator and patient experience during the use of track cautery. Secondary aims are to assess the technical success rate and procedure adverse events. Participants who enroll in the study will undergo track cautery as part of their clinically indicated liver, kidney, or spleen biopsy. After the procedure, they will fill out a brief survey asking about their experience during the procedure. Physician operators who perform track cautery as part of the study will also fill out a survey after each procedure asking about their experience using this technique.
The goal of this prospective cohort is to identified specific biological patterns in patients with a bleeding of unknown cause and to study the specific mechanisms of the bleeding disorder for each subset of patients.
The investigators try to improve the screening of bleeding disorders in children by identifying symptoms, laboratory abnormalities and clinical scores discriminating patients congenital bleeding disorders in order to create a simple screening algorithm applicable in pediatrics, aiming for use in pre-anesthetic consultation and in consultation by pediatricians and general practitioners.
To evaluate change in coagulation tests during a 48-h period after initiation VV-ECMO and VA-ECMO. (ECMO= Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenator) Assessment of bleeding during Veno-Venous Extracoporeal Membrane Oxygenator (VV-ECMO) and Veno-Arterial Extracoporeal Membrane Oxygenator (VA-ECMO).
Background Hematological diseases are disorders of the blood and hematopoietic organs. The current hematological cohorts are mostly based on single-center or multi-center cases, or cohorts with limited sample size in China. There is a lack of comprehensive and large-scale prospective cohort studies in hematology. The purpose of this study is to analyze the incidence and risk factors of major blood diseases, the treatment methods, prognosis and medical expenses of these patients in China. Method The study will include patients diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, multiple myeloma, hemophilia, aplastic anemia, leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, lymphoma, bleeding disorders or received bone marrow transplantation in the investigating hospitals from January 1, 2020, and collect basic information, diagnostic and treatment information, as well as medical expense information from medical records. In its current form, the NICHE registry incorporates historical data (collected from 2000) and is systematically collecting prospective data in two phases with broadening reach. The study will use questionnaire to measure the exposure of patients, and prospectively follow-up to collect the prognosis information.
This is a 3-phase mixed methods study design. A literature review (Phase 1) has been completed to determine the areas of exploration and to identify challenges faced and the impact of the blood disorder on pediatric patients. Based on Phase 1, Phases 2 and 3, as proposed in this study, will be completed and will include interviews of patients diagnosed with bleeding and thrombotic disorders (phase 2). The interviews will be individual, semi-structured, and consist of open-ended questions to elicit unbiased and in-depth responses to gain an understanding of participant's perspectives on themes predetermined in the study design phase.
