Filter by:In previous attemps to answer the question of risk-benefit of postpartum thromboprophylaxis, researchers were faced with low recruitement rates. The goal of this pilot feasibility randomized controlled trial of postpartum pharmacological thromboprophylaxis is to examine the feasibility (recruitement rate) and participation rate at the Geneva University Hospitals
The purpose of this study is to assess outpatient treatment patterns following hospitalization for venous thromboembolism (VTE). VTE is a condition that occurs when blood clot forms in the vein. This is a retrospective study (assessments on events that have already occurred) of healthcare claims from databases. The study sponsors will assess healthcare claim records of patients treated with either apixaban or warfarin. Assessment includes treatment persistence, switch, and stopping therapy, along with recurrent VTE and bleeding.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of REGN9933 for the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA), compared to enoxaparin The secondary objectives of the study are: - To evaluate the bleeding risk (ie, major and clinically relevant non-major [CRNM] bleeding) of REGN9933 after unilateral TKA through time of venography, compared to enoxaparin - To assess overall safety and tolerability of REGN9933 in participants undergoing TKA - To evaluate the efficacy of REGN9933 in prevention of clinically relevant VTE, compared to enoxaparin - To evaluate the efficacy of REGN9933 in prevention of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) detected by venography, compared to enoxaparin - To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of REGN9933 after single intravenous (IV) administration - To assess pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of REGN9933 on intrinsic and extrinsic coagulation pathways - To assess immunogenicity following a single dose of REGN9933 over time - To compare the efficacy of enoxaparin and apixaban in prevention of VTE after unilateral TKA
Main research question: What is the present venous thrombosis incidence and what are the current practices of prescribing thromboprophylaxis in patients with multiple myeloma (MM)? Design: The present study is a retrospective cohort study. The patients will be selected from the electronic patient dossier (EPD) of the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG). The present study will include newly diagnosed adult patients with a first MM at the UMCG between 1st of January 2014 and 1st of September 2021. The primary outcome of the study is the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) with one year of diagnosis of MM. The investigators will also describe the various thromboprophylaxis regimens used and their corresponding VTE incidence. The secondary outcome will be the incidence of arterial thrombosis (AT) within the same period of time. Possible confounders are the therapy administered for MM, thromboprophylaxis type, age and patient comorbidities. Lastly, the third outcome will be a description of current thromboprophylaxis practices in the UMCG. Each outcome will be described separately. Expected results: Based on the study by de Waal et al in which they included 474 MM patients treated at the UMCG and at 4 hospitals in the province Friesland, the investigators expect to record a VTE incidence of approximately 15%.
Venous thromboembolism affects around 10 million people per year worldwide, however, despite its high incidence, there is no systematic review or randomized trial focused on the treatment of patients with recurrent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and/or or pulmonary embolism (PE) during anticoagulant treatment. The objective was to compare the use of Rivaroxaban plus Aspirin versus Acenocoumarol in patients with recurrent venous thromboembolism treated with rivaroxaban.
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality among critically ill patients. No uniform standard model of VTE risk for critically ill patients was formatted by now. In 2020, Viarasilpa et al. developed the ICU⁃VTE rating table, mainly for ICU patients. However, it lacks validation. We examined and compared how well the ICU-VTE score predict and stratify VTE risk in comprehensive ICU patients.
This is an observational study in which data from people with atrial fibrillation who received or are currently receiving the drug apixaban to prevent thromboembolic events (blood clots that travel through the blood stream to plug another smaller vessel) are studied. In observational studies, only observations are made without specified advice or interventions. Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a condition of having irregular and often rapid heartbeat. AF can lead to the formation of blood clots in the heart and to embolism, a condition that happens when a blood clot travels through the blood stream to plug another smaller vessel. This can lead to serious and life-threatening conditions, such as a stroke. A stroke occurs because the brain tissue beyond the blockage no longer receives nutrients and oxygen so that brain cells die. As strokes arising from AF can involve extensive areas of the brain, it is important to prevent them. Blood clots are formed in a process known as coagulation. This is a complex series of steps that must occur in a specific sequence. Medications are already available to prevent the formation of blood clots. When taken by mouth (orally), they are known as oral anticoagulants (OACs). OACs decrease the risk of the above-mentioned serious and life-threatening conditions. The main side effect of OACs is an increase of the risk of bleeding. In the beginning, there was only one main class of OAC called vitamin k antagonists (VKAs) prescribed in usual practice. VKAs work by lowering the number of coagulation factors in the blood. Over the years, newer OAC medications have become available which act more specifically by interrupting one or more of the coagulation steps and preventing the blood from clotting. The study treatment apixaban works by blocking a very specific step in the blood clotting process, the activation of a protein called Factor Xa. Newer OACs are also called direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). DOACs require less monitoring by doctors, but an increased risk of bleeding remains. Bleedings can be an important reason for stopping therapy. One type of bleeding called patient relevant bleeding (PRB) has not been intensely studied so far. PRB is a type of minor bleeding which is bothersome, but which does not require medical treatment as it has no important impact on a person's health. It needs to be distinguished from so called clinically relevant non-major bleeding (CRNMB). CRNMB stands for a type of bleeding which may have an important impact on a person's health and needs medical attention, but when treated, is not likely to have a negative impact on a person's health. Only limited information is available for PRB and CRNMB related to the treatment with DOACs in real-world settings. In this study, researchers want to collect more data about how often PRB and CRNMB occur in people with AF treated with apixaban. In addition, researchers want to learn how these medical problems affect the treatment with apixaban under real-world conditions. To do this, researchers will count the number of participants in usual practice - who have PRB or CRNMB and who are being treated with apixaban at the time of this ongoing study or who have recently taken this drug, but have switched to another OAC, - who have PRB or CRNMB and have decided to stop or to continue their treatment with apixaban. In addition, characteristics of each participant and the reason for continuation or discontinuation of apixaban will be collected and described. The data for this study will come from patient surveys. Besides this data collection, no further tests or examinations are planned in this study. The participants who take their apixaban treatment during this study will receive their treatments as prescribed by their doctors during routine practice according to the approved product information. The data will be from participants who will be identified for the survey using last 12-months data from the database called HealthCore Integrated Research Database (HIRD). The data will be collected for each participant for 12 months before the participant starts the survey. The study will end as soon as the planned number of surveys has been reached or at the end date of the study.
Little is known about the current management status of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in Southwestern China. We aimed to investigate the status of anticoagulant administration in VTE in Southwestern China and assess the potential predictors of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) complicated pulmonary embolism (PE). We extracted data from YiduCloud database from December 2006 to November 2018 and performed a cross-sectional survey of VTE. The demographics, laboratory tests, and anticoagulants were collected and analyzed in the logistic regression model, classification tree and Random Forest model.
This is an observational study in which patient data from the past on venous thromboembolism (VTE) in people with cancer is studied. In observational studies, only observations are made without specified advice or interventions. People with VTE have problems due to the formation of blood clots in the veins. Blood clots can reduce the flow of blood to vital organs such as the lungs, which can lead to their damage. VTE can also be "recurrent". This means that the blood clots have returned after treatment. People who have cancer are more likely to develop VTE, recurrent clots, and bleeding on blood thinning treatments. To prevent the formation of new or recurrent clots in people with cancer, a newer type of blood thinner is available, called direct-acting oral anticoagulant (DOAC). Rivaroxaban and apixaban are the most used DOACs in the US. They work by blocking a certain step in the blood clotting process, the activation of a protein called Factor X. Previous studies show that DOACs may reduce clot risk compared to other available treatments but may potentially lead to more frequent bleeding. Studies looking at these points in direct comparison of rivaroxaban and apixaban a currently missing. Therefore, this study will collect real-world data from the US to learn how well rivaroxaban works and how safe it is compared to apixaban in people with cancer and VTE who are at low risk for bleeding. To do this, researchers will look at the proportion of patients that will develop: - recurrent blood clots in the veins after treatment - bleeding in a critical organ - bleeding that requires a hospital stay within 3 and 6 months after participants had a VTE that was treated with rivaroxaban or apixaban. De-identified data collected will cover 12 months before and at maximum 6 months after this VTE. They will come from US electronic health records and will cover the years 2012 to 2020. No visits or tests are required as part of this study.
Aim of our study is to find frequency and risk factors for venous thromboembolism development in patients who underwent surgery for incisional ventral hernia. There were 240 patients enrolled in our retrospective observational cohort study. Included patients were operated for incisional hernia in Saveljev University Surgery Clinic from January 2018 to December 2019. Compression duplex ultrasound of lower legs veins was performed in 2-4 days after surgery for all participants. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of the venous thromboembolism event, including pulmonary embolism.
