Filter by:This is a prospective, twin-center, cohort study in patients discharged from the hospital after major abdominal or pelvic cancer surgery for cancer. This study is designed to evaluate the adherence to extended deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis (DVT) with the direct oral anticoagulant apixaban on the background of historical data from the investigator's center on low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) substandard adherence in the same setting.
The aim of the study is to investigate the existence of clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) in patients with a history of venous thromboembolism. The study investigators make the assumption that these patients present mutations involved in CHIP occurrence.
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains as one of leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality, with postpartum period carries the greatest risk. Perinatal thromboprophylaxis is often administered based on risk-factor assessment. Low molecular weight heparin has a proven safety profile in obstetrics population, however its porcine derived content may lead to reduced uptake amongst certain religious groups. The investigators aimed to evaluate the safety of fondaparinux as an alternative postpartum thromboprophylaxis. The investigators planned a prospective, single arm, open label study. Women who fulfilled the criteria for post natal thromboprophylaxis based on the 2015 RCOG guidelines were recruited. Each patient would receive subcutaneous injection of Fondaparinux, 2.5mg daily for 10 days. The investigators would conduct a telephone interview on day 10 post delivery and six week outpatient review in clinic.
Venous thrombo-embolic (VTE) rates could be high in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Indeed, the rate of VTE in this specific population could be 7-fold higher in this population. Predictiv factors of VTE in patients with ALS are mobility reduction and neurological paralysis. However, to our knowledge, medical littérature is poor concerning VTE and ALS association. Our first aim is to define annual rate of VTE in ALS population.Then we aim to identify predictiv factors of VTE in this specific population. The studied population is Brest universitary hospital cohort of ALS patient included between 2000 and 2019.
Researcher in this study want to compare the effectiveness of Rivaroxaban (Xarelto) versus low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) and phenprocoumon for the treatment and secondary prevention of venous thromboembolism by evaluating routine clinical practice data from research database in Germany. VTE is defined by a blood clot in the leg or lower extremity (deep vein thrombosis) or a blood clot in the lung (pulmonary embolism). Treatment of VTE traditionally consists of acute anticoagulation treatment with heparin (mainly LMWH), followed by maintenance oral anticoagulation with vitamin-K antagonists (in Germany mainly phenprocoumon). Rivaroxaban, a direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOAC), is an alternative VTE treatment and has been approved for both the acute and maintenance phase of VTE treatment. The study will enroll adult male or female patients who are newly diagnosed with VTE and are already on the treatment with Rivaroxaban or LMWH and phenprocoumon. Researchers are especially interested whether patients experience under treatment any VTE events or fatal bleedings.
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.
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.
Covid-19 mainly affects the respiratory system. Multiple organ dysfunction and a particularly progressive respiratory insufficiency along with a widespread coagulopathy presumed to be due to infection-associated inflammation and the resulting cytokine storm, are strongly associated with high mortality rates. In this study, the association between thrombosis risk and clinical presentation of Covid-19 is investigated.
Venous thromboembolic disease is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. The purpose of the RAPID registry is to collect information on the Angiovac procedure and Angiovac device used in the treatment of deep venous thrombosis (DVT), right heart pathology and pulmonary embolism.
The aims of the study are to to associate anticoagulation (AC) regime with outcome in critically ill patients with Covid-19. This will be done by describe baseline characteristics and comorbidities before hospital admission, level of organ support and dose of AC treatment and associate this with 28 days survival, survival outside ICU, thromboembolic event and bleeding complications.
