Filter by:Together with individual predisposition to form vascular clots and clinical conditions that further increase this risk, venous thromboembolism (VTE) poses a significant additional morbidity and mortality risk for the majority of the world's population. Although VTE causes serious disability and death when undiagnosed, it is a medical condition that can be prevented when diagnosed early. Although all hospitalized patients are at risk of DVT, studies have shown that 75% of hospitalized patients are hospitalized in internal clinics.As a result of this observational study, it was aimed to determine the VTE risk levels of the patients from the time of hospitalization and to determine preventive nursing care for VTE.
Pulmonary embolism (PE) presents notable risks of morbidity and mortality, underscoring the need for customized anticoagulant treatment. There is a scarcity of research examining drug-related issues (DRPs) in PE. This research endeavor seeks to assess how addressing DRPs affects the clinical outcomes of PE patients receiving outpatient care, offering valuable insights to bolster patient safety measures. This study will conduct a randomized controlled trial on PE patients in Istanbul, Turkey, from January 15, 2022, to January 15, 2023. The intervention group (IG) will receive clinical pharmacist (CP) recommendations for DRPs, while the control group (CG) will undergo observation only. Evaluations will occur at 90- and 180-days post-discharge, focusing on DRPs, CP interventions, and patient outcomes. Data will be systematically recorded and analyzed, adhering to ethical standards and employing the PCNE v9.1 classification system.
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.
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.
Pregnancy is a major risk factor of thromboembolic disease (2 to 10 increased risk of thromboembolic event for pregnant women). This risk is related to the physiological changes inducing venous stasis and hypercoagulability. Thromboembolic disease is the first preventable cause of death during pregnancy (in France 1.1 maternal death per 100 000 living births. The recommended treatment for pregnant women is low molecular weight heparin requiring subcutaneous injections daily. Vitamin K antagonists are contraindicated due to a teratogenic risk. Direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) are easier to use. Currently available preclinical and incidental exposure data on DOAC in pregnant women are very limited and insufficient to conclude on their safety. Therefore, its use during pregnancy is currently contraindicated for the grounds of precaution. The use of reimbursement data from the Système National des données de santé (National Health Data System) would provide more information on accidental exposure to DOACs during pregnancy, thanks to its completeness. The primary objective of SACOD is to compare the prevalence of adverse perinatal outcomes in pregnant women treated with a direct oral anticoagulant versus pregnant women treated with heparin and Vitamin K antagonist. The secondary objectives of the SACOD study are to i) determine the frequency of patients exposed to a direct oral anticoagulant during pregnancy according to pregnancy, ii) measure the prevalence of adverse perinatal outcomes in pregnant women initiating treatment with a direct oral anticoagulant therapy, iii) compare the prevalence of adverse perinatal outcomes in pregnant women initiating treatment with direct oral anticoagulants compared with pregnant women treated with heparin and a vitamin K antagonist, iv) compare the prevalence of adverse perinatal outcomes in pregnant women with Antiphospholipid syndrome treated with a direct oral anticoagulant versus pregnant women treated with heparin and anti-vitamin K, v) measure the incidence of thrombo-embolic episodes during pregnancy under anticoagulant treatment.
Oral anticoagulants have a prominent place in the strategy of prevention and treatment of thromboembolic diseases, especially in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, a study conducted by the National Fund for Health Insurance (Caisse primaire d'Assurance maladie, CPAM) in 2017 among nearly 35,000 patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation showed that one in five patients stopped their oral anticoagulant without medical advice for at least 60 days during the first year of treatment. In our establishment, patients hospitalized in the Cardiology departments and treated with oral anticoagulants benefit from pharmaceutical interviews on their treatment before they return at home. This activity, which exists since November 2014, is based on a team consisting on a pharmacy student, supervised by a pharmacist trained in therapeutic education. In order to secure the management of patients treated by oral anticoagulants and to answer the requirements of Certification, the investigators wish to extend the pharmaceutical interviews to all of hospital's healthcare services. However, the large number of patients concerned, the shorter hospital stays and the difficulties to organize collective sessions in front of the diversity of treatments and diseases are parameters to be taken into account in the development of this activity. The provision of a targeting tool for patients with high risk of thromboembolism and / or hemorrhage is a prerequisite for organizing this institutional approach to support patients on anticoagulants. In this context, the investigators want to establish a prioritization score to identify patients on oral anticoagulants with a higher drug risk.
The present study aims to determine frequency of thromboembolic complications and the underlying causes of this complication of the patients who admitted to the intensive care unit diagnosed with COVID-19.
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.
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.
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).
