This study will evaluate the development of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and possible determinants in patients with primary pancreatic cancer undergoing pancreatic cancer resection.
Malignant tumors are closely related to deep vein thrombosis, Pulmonary embolism and other diseases. Tumor patients usually have a hypercoagulable state (HCS) in their blood, and the proportion of thrombosis caused by HCS is more than 10 times that of non tumor patients. Conventional clinical testing methods such as coagulation function, blood routine, and thromboelastography are difficult to directly evaluate the hypercoagulable state of tumor patients. In addition, the widely used Khorana score and Caprini score systems in clinical practice need to be improved in accurately reflecting the hypercoagulable state of tumor patients. Our team has established a complete new coagulation time measurement system, including general clotting time (GCT), platelet rich plasma clotting time (PRP-CT), and platelet poor plasma clotting time (PPP-CT), which may be a new and accurate method for evaluating tumor hypercoagulability. The GCT study aims to evaluate: 1. The time of GCT, PRP-CT, and PPP-CT for malignant tumors is shorter than that of normal individuals, and some patients are in a hypercoagulable state; 2. The shortened time of GCT, PRP-CT, and PPP-CT may be associated with future thrombosis; 3. Evaluating the relationship between shortened GCT system time and overall tumor survival Therefore, the GCT system evaluation may identify patients who are truly in a hypercoagulable state, providing monitoring indicators for subsequent anticoagulation; It can also be evaluated whether GCT time can reflect the prognosis of tumor patients.
Primary objective The objective of this study is to compare anti-Xa levels obtained with a standard high dose thrombosis prophylaxis in COVID-19 intensive care-patients compared with anti-Xa levels obtained with a normal dose thrombosis prophylaxis in non-COVID-19 intensive care patients. Secondary objectives 1. To determine the incidence of anti Xa levels out of range of the established target anti Xa level in both groups. 2. To determine the influence of relevant co-variates on the anti-Xa level in the COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 group.
Patients with genitourinary cancers (ex: bladder, testicular, kidney) are at high risk of developing blood clots if they receive systemic therapy (ex: chemotherapy, immunotherapy). Blood clots cause pain, may require hospitalization and invasive testing, and in some cases cause death. In fact, blood clots are one of the leading causes of death in patients with cancer. Furthermore, patients who develop a blood clot require medication to thin the blood for a prolonged (sometimes indefinite) period of time, and this can disrupt other important cancer treatments. Studies have shown that using low dose blood thinners to prevent blood clots during systemic therapy is effective in some patients with cancer. However very few patients in these studies had genitourinary cancers, therefore physicians in Canada are not sure if recommending blood thinners to patients with genitourinary cancers is useful or safe. Safety is a primary concern because blood thinners may cause bleeding, and patients with genitourinary cancers may have higher risk of bleeding than patients with other types of cancer. The investigators hypothesize that blood thinners are effective and safe for reducing blood clots in patients with genitourinary cancers. The objective of this study is to determine if a large clinical trial testing the effectiveness and safety of low dose blood thinners for preventing blood clots in patients with genitourinary cancers receiving systemic therapy is feasible.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a common respiratory system disease characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and irreversible airflow restriction, which seriously endangers people's health. Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) refers to individuals who experience continuous deterioration beyond their daily condition and need to change their routine medication. AECOPD is usually caused by viruses and bacteria, and patients require hospitalization, which brings a huge economic burden to society. AECOPD patients often have limited activities. Because long-term chronic hypoxia causes venous blood stasis, siltation causes secondary red blood cell increase, and blood hypercoagulability, AECOPD patients have a high risk of pulmonary embolism (PE). Pulmonary Thrombo Embolism (PTE) refers to a disease caused by blockage of the pulmonary artery or its branches caused by a thrombus from the venous system or right heart. AECOPD patients experience elevated hemoglobin levels and increased blood viscosity due to long-term hypoxia. At the same time, such patients have decreased activity, venous congestion, and are prone to thrombosis. After the thrombus falls off, it can travel up the vein, causing PTE to occur in the right heart PTE is often secondary to low deep vein thrombosis (DVT). About 70% of patients were diagnosed as deep vein thrombosis in lower limb color ultrasound examination. SteinPD conducted a survey on COPD patients and general patients from multiple hospitals. The results showed that by comparing adult COPD patients with non COPD patients, the relative risk of DVT was 1.30, providing evidence for AECOPD being more likely to combine with PTE AECOPD patients with PTE have similarities in their clinical manifestations. It is difficult to distinguish between the two based solely on symptoms, such as cough, increased sputum production, increased shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing. They lack specificity and are difficult to distinguish between the two based solely on symptoms, which can easily lead to missed diagnosis. CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is the gold standard for the diagnosis of PTE, but due to the high cost of testing and high equipment prices, its popularity in grassroots hospitals is not high. Therefore, analyzing the risk factors of AECOPD patients complicated with PTE is of great significance for early identification of PTE. At present, although there are reports on the risk factors for concurrent PTE in AECOPD patients, there is no specific predictive model for predicting PTE in AECOPD patients. In clinical practice, risk assessment tools such as the Caprini risk assessment model and the modified Geneva scale are commonly used for VTE, while the Wells score is the PTE diagnostic likelihood score. The evaluation indicators of these tools are mostly clinical symptoms, and laboratory indicators are less involved, It is difficult to comprehensively reflect the patient's condition, so the specificity of AECOPD patients with PTE is not strong. The column chart model established in this study presents a visual prediction model, which is convenient for clinical use and has positive help for the early detection of AECOPD patients with PTE. In addition, medical staff can present the calculation results of the column chart model to patients, making it easier for patients to understand. It helps improve the early identification and treatment of AECOPD combined with PTE patients, thereby improving prognosis.
This is an observational study in which only data are collected from participants receiving their usual treatment. The study is done in children under 2 years old with venous thromboembolism (VTE). VTE is a condition in which blood clots form in the veins, usually in the leg. This can cause pain and swelling. The clot can also break apart and travel in the blood to the lungs where it can block the blood flow. This can be life threatening. Rivaroxaban is approved for doctors to prescribe to children with VTE, but there is limited information about how it is used, how well it works, and how safe it is in children under 2 years old. Children in this study are already receiving or will receive rivaroxaban or other currently used medicines for VTE from their doctor according to the approved product information. The purpose of this study is to collect information on the pattern of use and safety of rivaroxaban and other standard medicines for VTE in children under 2 years old. The main information that researchers will collect in this study: - Age, gender, and other information about the child and their illness - Type of VTE treatment given to the child - Occurrence of medically important bleeding and its severity Further information that researchers will collect: - Changes in the characteristics of the children given VTE treatment (e.g., changes in the age range of children given VTE treatment) and changes in the treatment pattern for VTE - Return of VTE symptoms - Types of doctors who prescribe VTE treatment and their set-up (e.g., special clinics versus hospitals) Besides this data collection, no further tests or examinations are needed in this study. The data for this study will be collected from electronic health records and health insurance claims data until 2026. Researchers will observe each child during treatment until: - end of the anticoagulation treatment period e.g. discontinuation of all study drugs, - their information is no longer available, or - the study ends.
The preferences of pregnant women for postpartum thromboprophylaxis are largely unknown. The aims of this transversal study are to elicit the preferences of pregnant/postpartum women about postpartum thromboprophylaxis in semi-structured interviews, and to estimate the utility of the relevant health states (pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, postpartum hemorrhage, subcutaneous injections). In this second aim, the investigators will also compare the effect of 2 different techniques to estimate utilities (standard gamble vs. time trade-off), using a randomization of these techniques.
A study of how supplemental oxygen helps patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). Hypothesis: Oxygen affects right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) primarily by relieving hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction and reducing pulmonary pressure (PA) pressure, and that this process is metabolically driven.
The frequency of violence against women, or intimate partner violence (IPV) is more and more underlined and recognized as a cofactor favoring certain somatic and psychic pathologies. However, its incidence in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) is unknown and its status as a risk factor is still elusive and ambiguous. Investigators therefore conducted a matched case-control study consisting of women taking combined oral contraceptives (COC) who were investigated and followed up between 2010 and 2020. The cases are the patients investigated for their first venous thromboembolic event, The controls were women free of thrombosis who had regular gynecological checkups. Case-control pairs were matched on region of residence, age (+/- 2 years), duration of COC intake (+/- 4 months), COC type (2nd, 3rd or 4th generation).
