Filter by:This study is an extension of a planned quality improvement project that aims to promote standard of care by increasing the use of evidence-based clinical decision rules amongst emergency medicine providers in the University of Utah Emergency Department. Patient-specific information from the EHR will be used to recommend the use of relevant clinical decision rules to emergency medicine providers at the point-of-care. These recommendations will be in the form of non-interruptive alerts with one-click access to the suggested decision rules through the MDCalc Connect EHR add-on application. Specific aims of the study are to determine if 1) patient-specific non-interruptive alerts increase the use of clinical decision rules amongst emergency medicine providers and 2) an increase in the use of clinical decision rules affects provider ordering habits.
The RESOLVE-DVT study is a randomized single-center pilot study to determine the effects of hydroxyethylrutoside (Venoruton) on aspects of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) resolution associated with post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Based on these results, the investigators will estimate its potential as a preventive therapy for PTS. Eligible consenting patients who develop an acute, objectively confirmed DVT will be randomized and equally allocated to two trial arms, either the treatment group (Venoruton tablet 500 mg twice daily) or the control group (usual care). The pilot trial consists of 5 study contacts over 12 weeks at which outcome assessment is performed: inclusion, 1 week, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks. Treatment allocation is masked for outcome assessors, but not for patients.
This is a Phase 2 safety and tolerability trial that will take place in two parts. Part one of the trial will determine the tolerability of the OsciPulse device on healthy subjects who wear the device for up to three hours. Healthy volunteers will answer questionnaires and may undergo an ultrasound test at the end of their participation in the trial. Part two of the trial will determine the safety and tolerability of the OsciPulse device on subjects admitted to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center. Eligible subjects will be enrolled for 6 hours. In the first 3 hours, subjects will wear the standard of care intermittent pneumatic compression device or the OsciPulse device. In the second 3 hours, the subject's device will be switched and subjects will wear the alternate device not used in the first 3 hours. Subjects will answer questionnaires and may undergo an ultrasound at the end of the first 3 hours and at the end of the second 3 hours (at hour 6).
The goal of this study is to examine in vivo thrombosis characteristics with ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) and determine the relationship with thrombus resolution and postthrombotic syndrome (PTS) in patients with acute proximal Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).
The study will evaluate the effectiveness of a novel, real-time risk prediction model for identifying pediatric patients at risk for developing in-hospital blood clots (or venous thromboembolism [VTE]) based on data easily extracted from the electronic medical record. The study will assess whether using the risk percentages for developing VTE derived from the model increases the number of high-risk patients screened by the pediatric hematology team, which may may lead to an overall reduction in the number of pediatric VTEs seen at Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt.
Hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism (HA-VTE) is one of the leading preventable causes of in-hospital mortality, but prevention of VTE in hospitalized medical patients remains challenging, as preventive measures such as pharmacological thromboprophylaxis (TPX) need to be tailored to individual thrombotic risk. The broad objective of this project is to improve VTE prevention strategies in hospitalized medical patients by prospectively examining VTE risk factors (including mobility) and comparing existing risk assessment models.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of venous thromboembolism in a regional health care system (Region Östergötland, Sweden) before and during the SARS-COV-2 pandemic. In a retrospective observational study, we will review patient data, diagnostic data and treatment data over a three-month period since the onset of the SARS-COV-2 pandemic. This data will be compared with data from the corresponding time frame during the years 2015 to 2019.
To improve the safety of diagnosis and therapy for a set of conditions and undifferentiated symptoms for hospitalized patients, the investigators will employ a set of methods and tools from the disciplines of systems engineering, human factors, quality improvement,and data analytics to thoroughly analyze the problem, design and develop potential solutions that leverage existing current technological infrastructure, and implement and evaluate the final interventions. The investigators will engage the interdisciplinary care team and patient (or their caregivers) to ensure treatment trajectories match the anticipated course for working diagnoses (or symptoms), and whether they are in line with patient and clinician expectations. The investigators will use an Interrupted time series (ITS) design to assess impact on diagnostic errors that lead to patient harm. The investigators will perform quantitative and qualitative evaluations using implementation science principles to understand if the interventions worked, and why or why not.
Worldwide observational studies indicate a significant prothrombogenic effect associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection with a high incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE), notably life-threatening pulmonary embolism. According to recommendations for acute medical illnesses, all COVID-19 hospitalized patients should be given VTE prophylaxis such as a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). A standard prophylactic dose (eg. Enoxaparin 4000IU once daily) could be insufficient in obese patients and VTE has been reported in patients treated with a standard prophylactic dose. In COVID-19 patients, guidelines from several international societies confirm the existence of an hypercoagulability and the importance of thromboprophylaxis but the "optimal dose is unknown" and comparative studies are needed. In view of these elements, carrying out a trial comparing various therapeutic strategies for the prevention of VTE in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 constitutes a health emergency. Thus, we hypothesize that an increased prophylactic dose of weight-adjusted LMWH would be greater than a lower prophylactic dose of LMWH to reduce the risk of life-threatening VTE in hospitalized patients. The benefit-risk balance of this increase dose will be carefully evaluated because of bleeding complications favored by possible renal / hepatic dysfunctions, drug interactions or invasive procedures in COVID-19 patients. This multicenter randomized (1:1) open-label controlled trial will randomize hospitalized adults with COVID-19 infection to weight-adjusted prophylactic dose vs. lower prophylactic dose of LMWH.
The main objective of the study is to determine the incidence of deep vein thromboses at Doppler echo in patients with SARS-Cov-2 pneumopathy upon their entry into ICU and after 7 days of hospitalization in ICU. This is a monocentric interventional study (RIPH 2).
