Filter by:The thromboembolic disease is a common complication of patients admitted to conventional hospitalization units. To prevent such complications, thromboprophylaxis is indicated in high-risk patients identified with validated risk-assessment models such as Padua score and IMPROVE-VTE score. However, the relation between thromboembolic disease and inpatients is yet to be demonstrated in new clinical settings such as at home hospitalization units. Moreover, patient immobilization is key in the pathogenesis of thromboembolic complications: therefore, it is crucial to collect raw data of patient mobility during admission. The goal of this observational study is to compare the thromboembolic risk of patients admitted with acute medical diseases to at home hospitalization units with conventional hospitalization units. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the estimated thromboembolic risk of patients admitted with acute medical diseases to at home hospitalization units similar to those admitted to conventional hospitalization units? - Are the risk-assessment models used to predict thromboembolic risk of patients admitted with acute medical diseases to conventional hospitalization units (Padua and IMPROVE-VTE score) valid in at home hospitalization patients? Participants admitted with acute medical diseases to either a conventional hospitalization unit or at home hospitalization units will be included in a prospective registry in order to investigate the 90 days incidence of thromboembolic disease. A cohort of such patients will be controlled with triaxial accelerometer in order to collect raw data regarding patient mobility during admission.
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) causes up to 100,000 deaths annually. Between 10%-30% of patients die within one month of VTE diagnosis, while survivors remain at increased risk for VTE recurrence or other complications like post-thrombotic syndrome or chronic pulmonary hypertension in the following decade. Trauma patients have many risk factors that predispose them to a VTE. During the first 48 hours after blunt trauma, patients are prothrombotic due to the release of procoagulant factors, have excessive thrombin generation due to extensive tissue and vascular injury, and have reduced circulation of endogenous anticoagulants like protein C.
Aim of the study is to investigate whether the influence of drugs inducing of CYP 3A4 isoenzyme of CYP450 and P-gp transporter significantly affect plasma levels of DOACs in patients with NVAF and venous thromboembolism
Coagulopathy of COVID-19 afflicts approximately 20% of patients with severe COVID-19 and is associated with need for critical care and death. COVID-19 coagulopathy is characterized by elevated D-dimer, an indicator of fibrin formation and clot lysis, and a mildly prolonged prothrombin time, suggestive of coagulation consumption. To date, it seems that COVID-19 coagulopathy manifests with thromboembolism, thus anticoagulation may be of benefit. We propose to conduct a parallel pragmatic multi-centre open-label randomized controlled trial to determine the effect of therapeutic anticoagulation compared to standard care in hospitalized patients admitted for COVID-19 with an elevated D-dimer.
The aim of this study is to verify if patients admitted to hospital in a medical division and in the intensive care unit for a COVID-19 infection are at higher risk of developing a VTE complication and if they actually present an increased hypercoagulable state.
