Filter by:The investigators are studying whether treatment with a proton pump inhibitor called omeprazole reduces gastrointestinal bleeding in older adults taking blood thinners for a blood clot (venous thromboembolism). The purpose of this study, a pilot study or a feasibility study, is to test the study plan and determine whether enough participants will join a larger study and accept the study procedures.
Venous thromboembolic disease (VTE) is a common (1/1000), potentially serious disease (10% mortality when the clinical presentation is that of pulmonary embolism (PE)). In cancer patients, the risk of developing VTE is high and constitutes a negative prognostic factor for cancer; the risk of bleeding is also increased. The study of VTE in the context of cancer is a major challenge, given the frequency of the association, the heterogeneity of the situations, the risk factors involved and the therapeutic issues in both curative and primary prevention; in this field, many uncertainties remain, justifying a study focused on the association of VTE and cancer.
Pulmonary embolism (PE) presents notable risks of morbidity and mortality, underscoring the need for customized anticoagulant treatment. There is a scarcity of research examining drug-related issues (DRPs) in PE. This research endeavor seeks to assess how addressing DRPs affects the clinical outcomes of PE patients receiving outpatient care, offering valuable insights to bolster patient safety measures. This study will conduct a randomized controlled trial on PE patients in Istanbul, Turkey, from January 15, 2022, to January 15, 2023. The intervention group (IG) will receive clinical pharmacist (CP) recommendations for DRPs, while the control group (CG) will undergo observation only. Evaluations will occur at 90- and 180-days post-discharge, focusing on DRPs, CP interventions, and patient outcomes. Data will be systematically recorded and analyzed, adhering to ethical standards and employing the PCNE v9.1 classification system.
Smart technologies, such as wearable devices, mobile technologies, and artificial intelligence, are being investigated for use in health management. These technologies have the potential to be applied in disease pre-warning, decision-making support, health education, and healthcare maintenance. They are expected to address the challenges in managing thrombosis, improve access to high-quality medical resources in various regions, and enhance the development of a network for thrombosis rescue and treatment prevention. The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of mobile venous thromboembolism application (mVTEA) based patient-centered management of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) on the long-term outcome of PTE patients, in order to enhance clinical practice and establish a foundation of evidence for managing patients with PTE.
Major risk after pulmonary embolism (PE) is recurrence, fatal in 10% of patients. Patients with PE can be stratified in 3 groups according to the risk of recurrence : very low risk, high risk or Intermediate risk. Little is known about this last group. Anticoagulation is efficient to prevent recurrence but is currently not recommended for patient with an intermediate risk of recurrence. Identifying risk factors of recurrent PE remains a major issue to identify sub-groups of patients who would require lifelong anticoagulation. In 30-40% of cases, PE patients develop residual pulmonary vascular obstruction (RPVO), which has been found to be associated with an increased recurrence risk. This last observation was mostly reported in patients with unprovoked PE (patients with high risk of recurrence) and RPVO was measured using conventional planar lung scan. In patients with an intermediate risk of recurrence, the impact of RPVO has been much less studied. In addition, the definition of RPVO was variable according to studies and correlation between RPVO burden and recurrence risk has not been clearly demonstrated. This might be explained by the inherent limitation of RPVO quantification using conventional planar imaging, which is only based on a visual estimation on 2-dimensional images. Ventilation/Perfusion Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (V/Q SPECT/CT) is a new method of scintigraphic image acquisition that offers the advantage of 3-dimensional imaging, enabling more accurate and reproducible quantification of RPVO. The main hypothesis of this study is that in patients with PE at intermediate risk of recurrence, RPVO computed with V/Q SPECT/CT imaging may be an important predictor of recurrence.
The goal of this observational study is to analyse the association between anti-factor Xa activity (antiXa) and the occurence of venous thromboembolism (VTE; either deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism) in critically ill patients who are admitted to an intensive care unit. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the association between antiXa and VTE? - What is the association between antiXa and symptomatic, respectively incidental, VTE? - How is pharmacological anticoagulation with enoxaparin related to measured antiXa? - What is the association between antiXa and bleeding complications. - What is the incidence of venous thromboembolism in patients treated at an intensive care unit? - How is the occurence of VTE related to patient-centred outcomes such as mortality, quality of life, length of stay and days outside of the intensive care unit/hospital.
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the third leading cause of cardiovascular disease deaths globally, and its incidence is increasing over the years. Hospital-acquired VTE accounts for approximately 75% of all deaths attributed to VTE. However, only half of patients with indications for VTE prophylaxis take preventive measures, and high rates of inappropriate VTE prophylaxis prescribing contribute to the gap between VTE prophylaxis and guidelines. To further minimize the gap between clinical practice and guidelines, a range of strategies have been employed across various fields of VTE prophylaxis. One of the most effective measures is the utilization of a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS). Smart technology-based CDSS facilitates automated evaluation of VTE risk and detection, addressing issues at both the beginning and end of the in-hospital VTE prevention process. but there is still a lack of research on how to effectively implement evidence-based VTE prophylaxis in the middle of the process. In our hospital, routine use of DeVTEcare system (a CDSS for VTE risk assessment and integrated care) for in-hospital management of VTE has been launched since 2021. This study aims to investigate the effect of integrating bundled guideline-based VTE prevention strategies into the DeVTEcare system on in-hospital VTE prophylaxis.

Multicenter longitudinal observational ambispective (retrospective cases from 2014 and prospective from 2018 onwards) cohort study. The registry recruits a series of consecutive patients admitted for moderate-high risk or high-risk pulmonary embolism (according to 2019 European Society of Cardiology guidelines) treated invasively. This study aims to describe the acute management of the safety and effectiveness of different percutaneous interventions for acute pulmonary embolism.
