Filter by:Background Blood transfusions in pregnancy are usually urgent, unpredictable, and occur in otherwise healthy women. There is evidence of increasing rates of maternal red blood cell (RBC) transfusion around childbirth both in Europe and in US. Indeed, they are recorded in approximately 0.4-1.6% of all deliveries. Although obstetric patients use a small proportion of the blood supply overall (3-4%), however over the last years there has been a significant increase (about 30%) in the use of blood and blood products throughout pregnancy. Most available data relate to the peri-partum period, defined as those occurring from 48 hours before delivery onwards. Anemia in pregnancy is associated with increased maternal mortality and fetal intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). The risk of these adverse effects is proportional to the severity of anemia; for instance, preterm birth and low birth weight rates are particularly high among women with a hemoglobin below 7 g/dL. The presence of anemia in at-term pregnant women is a rather frequent and unrecognized risk factor for peri-partum hemorrhage (PPH) transfusion. In a retrospective investigation, we have calculated that almost 20% of at-term pregnant women show iron deficiency anemia. It has been suggested that reduction of RBC transfusion in the context of PPH may decrease maternal mortality and, at the same time, reduce costs. Patient's Blood Management (PBM) is a well-known strategy based on 1) identification of anemia; 2) reduction of blood loss and 3) reduction of RBC transfusion. In several medical specialties, recommendations based on available evidence highlighted the concept that a restrictive RBC administration is safe and efficacious. Despite the fact that the WHO has recommended PBM early 2010, the majority of hospitals are in need of guidelines to apply PBM in daily practice. Rationale Anemia is a frequent and often unrecognized hallmark of at-term pregnancies. Systematic collection of data on transfusion practice during pregnancy and post-partum period are scarce. The application of PBM in obstetrics is expected to improve pregnancy outcome and optimize resources. Objectives Objectives of the present study are 1. To estimate: frequency of anemia in pregnancy and feto-maternal complications, distribution of haemorrhage aetiologies and transfusion indications. 2. To evaluate associations of these outcomes with gestational age, and transfusion dose.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common complication associated with cancer but the risk of AF according to the cancer localization and status as well as the risk of thromboembolisms, bleedings and mortality are poorly known. The objective of this study is to use a very large French nationwide cohort to adress thèses questions.
Aim of this project is to understand clinical features, clinical outcomes and efficacy and safety profiles of different therapies by analyzing a cohort of COVID-19 patients hospitalized and treated in a tertiary-level institution, University hospital Dubrava. Patients' clinical and laboratory characteristics, drug exposure and outcomes are obtained by analysis of written and electronical medical records.
The primary objective of this study is to determine if left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) with the WATCHMAN FLX device is a reasonable alternative to non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.
This is an observational, post market clinical follow-up (PMCF) intended to evaluate the residual risks of the Micro Plug Set which is intended for use during arterial embolization of the peripheral vasculature. This PMCF will collect data pertaining to any adverse events as well as the identification of any unanticipated risks up to the first 12 months following device implant.
The investigators plan to study the effects of curcumin, the active ingredient in the spice turmeric, on the irregular bleeding experienced by women who use the contraceptive implant.
This study aims to determine whether cold-stored platelets (CSP) are equally, more effective, or uniquely effective at reversing the effect of dual antiplatelet therapy in healthy human subjects compared to room-temperature-stored platelets (RTP). The investigators plan to enroll healthy human subjects without risk factors for bleeding to achieve 60 complete data sets. Each subject will donate two apheresis platelet units. One platelet unit will be stored in the cold (CSP) and one platelet unit will be stored at room temperature (RTP). Subjects will be given dual anti-platelet therapy (aspirin and clopidogrel) prior to autologous transfusion of each unit. Platelet function testing will be performed before and after transfusion to measure reversal of the antiplatelet drugs.
"Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion and Biomarker Evaluation" (LABEL) is a single-center, prospective and observational study evaluating changes of the expression of biomarkers in eligible patients before and after percutaneous implantation of a left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion device at mid-term follow-up.
The study will compare a novel calculation model (HeProCalc AB) with a standard weight-based and activated clotting time adjusted calculation for the dosing of Heparin and protamine and assess the impact on postoperative bleeding and blood transfusions after cardiac surgery.
The Cardiovascular disease research using Linked Bespoke studies and Electronic Records (CALIBER) e-health database was the data resource for this study. CALIBER links patient records from four different data sources: Clinical Practice Research Database (CPRD), MINAP (Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project registry) Hospital Episodes Statistics (HES), the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
