Intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischaemic stroke in patients on direct oral anticoagulants.
2018
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Whereas intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) is allowed for acute ischaemic stroke in patients on vitamin K antagonists with international normalized ratio ≤1.7, there are no similar recommendations for patients on direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), notably due to the lack of coagulation tests to assess the therapeutic effects. Although the literature is scarce, consisting of small case series and retrospective studies, considering the frequency of this situation the French Vascular Neurology Society and the French Study Group on Haemostasis and Thrombosis have worked on a joint position paper to provide a practical position regarding the emergency management of ischaemic …
Using pharmacokinetics for tailoring prophylaxis in people with hemophilia switching between clotting factor products: A scoping review.
2019
Abstract The objective of this scoping review is to summarize the current use of pharmacokinetics for tailoring prophylaxis in hemophilia patients switching between clotting factor products. Patients with hemophilia may require switching of clotting factor concentrates due to a variety of factors, but there have been perceived risks associated with switching, such as inhibitor development or suboptimal protection due to inadequate dosing while titrating treatment. Studies that look at patients switching from one clotting factor concentrate to another are categorized in terms of their primary and/or secondary objectives, notably biosimilarity and comparative pharmacokinetic studies and inhib…
Diagnosis of Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia: Development and Validation of a Predictive Clinical Score Based on Objective Features Identified by a …
2019
Background: Diagnosis of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is based on a composite of clinical likelihood and laboratory testing. We aimed to develop a diagnostic score derived from multivariate analysis of clinical features, including platelet count changes, prospectively recorded in patients with suspected HIT. Methods: This multinational observational study (ClinicalTrials.gov no. NCT00748839) included 2280 adult patients with suspected HIT: 1597 (derivation cohort) formed the basis for developing the scoring system, subsequently validated in 683 additional randomly selected patients (validation cohort). HIT was diagnosed by two independent adjudicators based on clinical features, l…
