Filter by:The goal of this quasi-experimental study is to examine the effects of a venous thromboembolism prevention program, or "5E" program, on the rates of venous thromboembolism in patients with spinal cord disorders. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Will participants receiving the 5E program have lower rates of venous thromboembolism compared to those receiving the usual care? - Will participants receiving the 5E program have lower scores of venous thromboembolism signs and symptoms compared to those receiving the usual care? - Will the average thigh and calf circumferences of participants before and after receiving the 5E program be different? Participants in the intervention group will receive the 5E program, including - Education: health education regarding venous thromboembolism prevention - Elevation: leg elevation of 10-20 degrees - Exercise: ankle exercises - Enough fluid: adequate fluid uptake - Early application of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC): IPC use within 48 hours after admission
Aim of our study is to find frequency and identify risk factors for venous thromboembolism development in patients who underwent surgery for colorectal cancer. There were 137 patients enrolled in our retrospective observational cohort study. Included patients were operated for incisional hernia in Saveljev University Surgery Clinic from January 2016 to December 2017. Compression duplex ultrasound of lower legs veins was performed in 2-14 days after surgery for all participants. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of the venous thromboembolism event, including pulmonary embolism.
This study is researching 2 different experimental drugs called REGN9933 and REGN7508 (called "study drugs"). The study is focused on adults undergoing a placement of a catheter in your vein, also called a 'PICC line'. The aim of the study is to see how effective the study drug is at preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) and other related disease after catheter placement. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: - What side effects may happen from taking the study drug - How much study drug is in your blood at different times - Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects)
Cancer patients are burdened by an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), which has a significant impact on morbidity and mortality. Existing Risk Prediction Models (RPMs), including the widely accepted Khorana Risk Score (KRS), have some limitations when used in certain tumor site populations, such as gynecological cancers. Notably, gynecological patients exhibit a variable risk of VTE based on their specific tumor sites, with ovarian cancer representing the highest risk. Moreover, currently available RPMs lack validation in a broad gynecological population and may fail to effectively stratify VTE risk. GynCAT is a prospective cohort study that will be conducted on female patients with gynecologic malignancies scheduled for systemic antineoplastic treatment. During the screening phase, symptomatic VTE will be excluded, and KRS will be assessed. Pharmacological thromboprophylaxis will be considered and prescribed at clinical judgement, for patients with a KRS score of 3 or higher. Clinical, hematological, biochemical, coagulation, and genetic variables will be collected. Follow-up will last for the entire duration of the antineoplastic treatment line, and VTE events, bleeding events, and mortality will be recorded. The primary objective is the development and validation of an RPM for VTE in gynecologic cancer patients undergoing systemic antineoplastic treatment. Secondary objectives are evaluation of the predictive value of the identified model, comparing it with existing general oncology RPMs; assessment of its performance in predicting mortality; evaluation of VTE incidence in patients with KRSā„3 receiving thromboprophylaxis; identification of risk factors for bleeding in this patient population. The sample size calculation is based on an estimated VTE incidence of 5% over a mean follow-up of 12 months. Hence, a sample size of at least 1,200 patients in the derivation cohort is considered sufficient for the determination of a risk prediction model incorporating up to six predictor variables. A split-sample method will be used, with two-thirds of the study participants randomly assigned to the model derivation cohort (n=1,200) and one-third (n=600) to an independent validation cohort. The total number of patients recruited in the study will thus be of 1,800. A competing risk survival analysis with Fine & Gray model will be used to study the association between prognostic variables and VTE occurrence, considering death as a competitive risk. The RPM will be identified through a bootstrap approach to reduce the risk of overfitting. Discrimination power of the RPM will be assessed using time-dependent Receiving Operating Characteristic curve, and model calibration will be evaluated graphically and with the calculation of relative calibration slopes. In conclusion, this prospective cohort study aims to overcome the limitations of current RPMs in gynecologic cancer patients, improving the accuracy of VTE risk stratification in this population.
This is an observational study in which only data will be collected from children with venous thromboembolism who are prescribed rivaroxaban or warfarin by their doctors. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a condition in which people have problems due to the formation of blood clots in their veins. The study drug rivaroxaban is an approved treatment for VTE in children and adults in Japan. It is a blood thinner that prevents the blood from clotting by blocking a protein responsible for blood clotting. Warfarin is another blood thinner that is available for VTE. In this study warfarin is the reference drug. A previous study was carried out to learn about how well rivaroxaban works and how safe it is in children with VTE. However, to better understand the safety of this drug in children, more knowledge is needed about the use of rivaroxaban in the real world. The main purpose of this study is to learn more about the occurrence of major bleeding in children taking rivaroxaban. Major bleeding can be bleeding within the skull, bleeding inside the eye, bleeding from an organ in the digestive system, or bleeding which requires being given blood from a donor. In addition, this study will help learn more about the following in children with VTE: - The occurrence of major bleeding during treatment with rivaroxaban and during treatment with warfarin - The occurrence of bleeding of importance in children being treated with rivaroxaban and in children being treated with warfarin. Bleeding of importance in children can be: bleeding from the lung, blood in the kidney, heavy menstrual bleeding - The occurrence of major bleeding and bleeding of importance in children who are taking drugs called anti platelet agents and NSAIDs to prevent blood clots at the same time as rivaroxaban, who are taking a drug that blocks the action of a protein called 'CYP3A4' at the same time as rivaroxaban, who have reduced kidney function, who have taken rivaroxaban for a long time, or who have taken other drugs by mouth to prevent blood clots before starting rivaroxaban - The occurrence of repeated VTE on treatment with rivaroxaban and on treatment with warfarin The children with VTE in this study are already receiving rivaroxaban or warfarin treatment as part of their regular care from their doctors. The data will come from an electronic health records database created by a company called Medical Data Vision. The data will be collected between January 2021 and June 2024. Researchers will look at the health information from children less than 18 years of age with VTE in Japan who are prescribed treatment with rivaroxaban or warfarin during the study period. In this study, only available data from routine care are collected. No visits or tests are required as part of this study
The purpose of this study is to identify and validate new imaging biomarkers allowing an individual phenotyping of patient with venous thrombo-embolism (VTE), mainly in terms of recurrence risk assessment and to distinguish provoked from unprovoked VTE. To do so, the investigators will create a retrospective imaging database including multiple imaging modalities, performed at diagnosis of the VTE.
Venous thromboembolic disease (VTE) is a frequent and potentially serious pathology. Therapeutic management has improved considerably over the last few decades, enabling the application of codified management in line with the recently updated French management recommendations. One of the main remaining difficulties concerns VTE sequelae, mainly post-thrombotic syndrome after deep vein thrombosis, and post-pulmonary embolism syndrome after pulmonary embolism. The mechanisms leading to the absence of complete repermeabilization of vessels affected by Venous thromboembolic disease (VTE) are still poorly understood. The concept of immunothrombosis, closely associating immunity, inflammation and thrombosis, could (in part) explain the appearance of these sequelae. Platelets appear to play a key role in the onset of sequelae: Platelets are known to be involved both in the onset of a VTE episode and in the inflammatory response. This involvement is illustrated by the expression of inflammatory receptors such as TLR (toll-like receptor) 2 and TLR4. Th aim to investigate the role of platelets in the occurrence of sequelae, mainly via their role in the inflammatory response, in Venous thromboembolic disease (VTE) patients.
To explore whether administering tirofiban in stent-assisted coiling/flow diverting treatments for participants with unruptured intracranial aneurysms can reduce new ischemic lesions on postoperative DWI sequences compared to conventional dual antiplatelet therapy.
A new algorithm derived from only patient age and components of the complete blood count and basic metabolic panel can identify patients discharged from the hospital who may benefit from a blood thinner (called rivaroxaban) to decrease their risk of blood clots, and for whom the risk of bleeding is minimal. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of a pop-up alert, which will be seen by clinicians when a discharging patient has been identified as being someone for whom the risk of blood clots is high, but for whom bleeding risk is estimated to be low. The pop-up alert will be enabled in a sequential fashion for each group of hospitals in 1 month blocks. We will look to see if the pop-up alert changes the number of patients who receive rivaroxaban. We will also measure the outcomes of blood clots and bleeding among all discharging patients.
