Filter by:A study involving real-world database analysis to evaluate the hospital healthcare utilization and costs, and all-cause, major bleeding-, clinically relevant bleeding-, any bleeding-, and venous thromboembolism (VTE)-related hospital readmissions among hospitalized VTE patients treated with apixaban or warfarin, with or without low molecular weight heparin (LMWH)
Venous Thrombo-Embolic Disease (VTED) is a serious and common ailment, defined by the growth of a clot - or thrombus - in a vein, and/or as the migration of this thrombus to a pulmonary artery. It represents the third cause of death after cardio-vascular disease and cancer, and encompass superficial, muscular and Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT), and Pulmonary Embolisms (PE), which can be isolated or associated. Ultrasound is today the most frequently used exam to diagnose DVT. However, it's unable to provide information on thrombus age or cause. Elastography is an imaging technic which aims to analyse elastic properties of a tissue, by applying a mechanical impulse on it, and could be an interesting tool in thrombus exploration, and provide additional information.
Deep vein Thrombosis (Deep Venous Thrombosis, DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism, Pulmonary Embolism, PE) both collectively known as Venous thromboembolism (VTE) (Venous Thrombus Embolism, VTE), is a common clinical disease, and tremendous harmful. Ankle fractures in patients requiring long-term bed braking, increase the incidence of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis, anticoagulant therapy as an important measures to prevent thrombosis in clinical widely accepted, however, the literature anticoagulation effect incision healing. Whether to strike a balance between the two, to develop a foot fracture in accordance with the Chinese characteristics of anticoagulant solution is we try to solve the problem. The purpose of this study is aimed at the use of oral anticoagulants and physical anticoagulant treatment knee far foot fracture patients randomized controlled studies in China.
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common disease with an incidence of 1-2/1000 persons per year. VTE is a chronic disease with a considerable risk of recurrence. Patients with unprovoked VTE, i.e. VTE in the absence of a temporary risk factor including surgery, cancer or immobilisation, have a high recurrence risk and indefinite anticoagulation is generally recommended. The recurrence risk of patients with VTE provoked by a transient risk factor is regarded as low. Discontinuation of anticoagulation after three months is recommended because the benefit of reducing the recurrence risk further by prolonged anticoagulation is outweighed by the bleeding risk. However, the newer direct oral anticoagulants are potentially associated with a lower bleeding risk than vitamin K antagonists. Because they are also meanwhile widely available and are convenient there is a trend towards prolonging anticoagulation also in patients with a VTE after a transient provoking factor. However, the definition of transient provoking factors is imprecise and a distinct categorization according to the risk of recurrence is lacking. Preliminary evidence suggests that the recurrence risk varies considerably between the different transient provoking factors. In a prospective cohort study, the investigators will include patients with a deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism provoked by a transient risk factor defined according to Guidance of the Scientific and Standardization Committee of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (Kearon et al., J Thromb Haemost 2016; 14: 1480-3) after discontinuation of anticoagulation. The study endpoint is recurrent symptomatic VTE.
Recent data (Srikanthan and Tran et al. JCO 2014, in press) have demonstrated that the presence of large retroperitoneal lymph node metastases on baseline staging scans (measuring >5cm in axial dimension) are associated with significantly increased risk of venous thromboembolism in patients receiving first line chemotherapy for disseminated germ cell tumours. This study, a G3 collaborative effort, aims to confirm these findings in a large multi-national validation cohort.
This project addresses the role of lab markers around the time of central line placement in predicting risk of thrombosis in pediatric patients with central venous lines being placed. The project proposes an innovative way to predict higher risk of thrombosis in the pediatric population to give clinicians a valid tool to guide clinical practice for these patients.
Life-long therapy with oral anticoagulants (OAC) is strongly recommended in AF patients receiving left atrial appendage isolation (LAAI) to prevent thromboembolic (TE) events. However, some patients are observed to remain stroke-free while off OACs for years whereas others experience TE events if OAC is discontinued even for a short period of time. Therefore, we aim to evaluate the association of genetic variants (single nucleotide polymorphisms - SNPs) with off-anticoagulation stroke-risk in AF patients.
Interventional, no-randomized, open-label, and single arm multicentre study of apixaban for the prevention of thromboembolic events during induction therapy in transplant-eligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who receive bortezomib, thalidomide, and dexamethasone (VTD) during the induction phase of therapy prior to autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). The current study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of apixaban during the induction period. Efficacy will be defined as a composite endpoint of acute symptomatic proximal and distal deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, VTE related deaths, and acute ischemic stroke.
Consented patients undergoing elective total hip and total knee arthroplasty will be randomized to receive either aspirin alone or aspirin and rivaroxaban for prevention of venous thromboembolism.
This is a multicentric, phase IV study. In this study patients that are receiving an antineoplastic treatment and that have been diagnosed with venous thromboembolism will receive edoxaban as per clinical practice. Edoxaban will be administered according to summary of product characteristics. Patients will receive 6 to 12 months of treatment with edoxaban administered orally. The thromboembolic event will be monitored as per local clinical practice. In this study patients will be evaluated at baseline, at the beginning of therapy with edoxaban, after 1 month (+/- 7 days), after 3, 6 and 12 months (+/- 3 weeks). During these visits, patients will be provided of a diary in which they should report drug intake and interruptions and quality of life questionnaires.
