Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and security and efficacy of sodium enoxaparin Cristália Produtos Químicos Farmaceuticos Ltda - Endocris with Clexane (Sanofi-Aventis) to prevent Venous Thromboembolism in Patients With High-Risk to Develop Thromboembolic Disease Undergoing Geral Abdominal Surgery.
Preventing the formation of blood clots in the veins so they do not injure leg veins or travel to the lungs, also called venous thromboembolism prophylaxis (VTE-P) is an essential component of safe in-patient care, yet it is deployed sub-optimally in many hospitals, including The investigators own. Two prior VTE-P improvement projects were completed at Mayo Clinic hospitals, one in the Department of Medicine, and the other in selected divisions of the Department of Surgery. Both projects resulted in marked improvement in the percentage of patients receiving appropriate VTE-P. This project seeks to utilize the lessons learned from these two pilots along with known best practices for "spreading" to deploy methods that enhance VTE-P to the entire hospitalized population. The investigators seek appropriate VTE-P rates exceeding 95%.
Lybrel® is an oral contraceptive that delivers low doses of levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol (90 μg/20 μg). Lybrel is taken on a continuous basis without a placebo or pill-free interval to inhibit menstrual cycle bleeding by delivering a steady level of the 2 hormones for as long as the drug is used. Lybrel was marketed in the US in July of 2007. The objective of this database case-control study is to estimate the risk of idiopathic VTE (deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism) in current users of Lybrel (ethinyl estradiol 20ug/levonorgestrel 90ug) compared to current users of other oral contraceptives containing 20μg of ethinyl estradiol.
Until now, no risk assessment model informing about the need of thromboprophylaxis in patients admitted for an acute medical event has been validated. The goal of this project is to indirectly validate a model developed in Geneva by a non -interventional study involving the collection of patient characteristics during the hospitalization and a 3-month follow-up. These data will allow for the determination of the patient's risk, according to the Geneva model, and its validity, according the actual thrombo-embolic events, corrected for the thromboprophylaxis received. The project is multicentric in Switzerland (5-10 centers) and should involve about 1000 patients. First amendment (may 2011) : we have obtained the IRB approval for collecting data from patients who die during their hospital stay and for whom informed consent is not be possible to obtain.
The purpose of this study is to determine if it is feasible to conduct a multi-center randomized trial to determine whether a blood thinner, low-molecular-weight-heparin (LMWH), is effective at preventing blood clots, thromboembolism (VTE), in postpartum women at risk.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of different dose of LMWH compared with fondaparinux for thromboprophylaxis is efficacious and safety after thoracic surgery.
This is a pilot substudy to the PeriOperative ISchemic Evaluation-2 Trial (POISE-2), to assess the feasibility of adding graduated compression stockings (GCS) to POISE-2 as an intervention.
The primary objective of this study is to establish the dose-response relationship with regard to efficacy and safety of BIBR 1048 (50 mg bis in die(b.i.d), 150 mg b.i.d, 225 mg b.i.d. and 300 mg quaque die(q.d) ) in preventing venous thromboembolism(VTE) in patients undergoing primary elective total hip and knee replacement.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the ability of STA® Liatest® D-Di combined with a clinical pretest probability (PTP) to safely exclude pulmonary embolism (PE) or Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) in a 3 month follow-up.
The appropriate use of thromboprophylaxis in medical patients admitted to hospital can substantially reduce the overall burden of disease due to venous thromboembolism. However, the use of thromboprophylaxis in medical setting appears to be generally poor leaving at-risk patients unprotected. We aim to analyse the incidence of symptomatic thromboembolic disease following hospitalisation in medical setting and the efficacy of a multicomponent prevention approach in emergency department including systematic evaluation of thrombosis risk factors and remembers of thrombophylaxis indications and modalities for acutely ill medical patients. Design: cluster randomized interventional study - Observational study at patient level Setting: 30 French emergency departments Patients: Patients over 40 years old admitted in participating emergency departments and hospitalized for acute medical reasons. Main judgment criteria: the rate of symptomatic thromboembolic events and severe haemorrhage during a formal 3-months follow-up after hospital admission in patients hospitalized at least 48 hours.
