The prescription of direct oral anticoagulants in the elderly: An observational study of 19 798 Ambulatory subjects.
2020
International audience; Objective Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are increasingly prescribed to elderly people, but the epidemiologic data for this population remains scarce. We compared the elderly population taking DOACs and those not taking DOACs (noDOAC). Method We included individuals over 75 years old, affiliated to Mutualite Sociale Agricole of Burgundy (a French regional health insurance agency), who had been refunded for a prescribed DOAC between 1st and 30th September 2017. The DAOC group (DAOCG) and noDOAC group (noDOACG) were compared in terms of demographic conditions, registered chronic diseases (RCD), and number and types of prescribed drugs. In the DOACG, we compared the…
Management of Oral Anti-Coagulation in Patients with Heart Failure-Insights from the ThrombEVAL Study
2018
AbstractPatients with heart failure (HF) are frequently anti-coagulated with vitamin K-antagonists (VKAs). The use of long-acting VKA may be preferable for HF patients due to higher stability of plasma concentrations. However, evidence on phenprocoumon-based oral anti-coagulation (OAC) therapy in HF is scarce. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the presence of HF on quality of phenprocoumon-based OAC and the subsequent clinical outcome. Quality of OAC therapy and the incidence of adverse events were analysed in a cohort of regular care (n = 2,011) from the multi-centre thrombEVAL study program (NCT01809015) stratified by the presence of HF. To assess the modifiability of outc…

Fondaparinux and enoxaparin in comparison to unfractionated heparin in preventing thrombus formation on mechanical heart valves in an ex vivo rabbit …
2003
SummaryThe aim of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of three different parenterally administered anticoagulants for the prevention of thrombus formation on artificial heart valves in an experimental rabbit model.Unfractionated heparin was administered intravenously in group I (n = 10), Enoxaparin subcutaneously in group II (n = 10), fondaparinux intravenously in group III (n = 10), and no medication was administered to group IV (n = 9). Leaflets from Sulzer Carbomedics bileaflet mechanical heart valves were placed in a flow chamber. The flow chamber was filled with blood in a continuous circulation between the carotid artery and the jugular vein.In group IV the flow chamber …

The Cerebral Thrombin System Is Activated after Intracerebral Hemorrhage and Contributes to Secondary Lesion Growth and Poor Neurological Outcome in …
2020
With increasing evidence for the existence of a cerebral thrombin system, coagulation factor IIa (thrombin) is suspected to influence the pathogenesis of secondary injury progression after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We hypothesized that mechanisms associated with local volume expansion after ICH, rather than blood constituents, activate the cerebral thrombin system and are responsible for detrimental neurological outcome. To test this hypothesis, we examine the local thrombin expression after ICH in a C57BL/6N mouse model in the presence and absence of blood constituents. ICH was established using stereotaxic orthotopic injection of utologous blood (
Erythropoietin for the treatment of anemia of malignancy associated with neoplastic bone marrow infiltration.
1990
This clinical trial was performed to study the effects of intravenously (IV) administered recombinant human (rh) erythropoietin (EPO) at escalating doses (150, 300, and 450 U/kg, administered as an IV bolus injection, twice weekly, for 6, 4, and 4 weeks, respectively) in five patients with low-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (Ig NHL) and bone marrow involvement and one patient with multiple myeloma (MM). All patients were anemic due to underlying disease. None of the patients had a history of bleeding, hemolysis, renal insufficiency, or other disorders causing anemia in addition to bone marrow infiltrating malignancy. Endogenous EPO serum levels were significantly increased in all patients (7…
Venous and arterial thromboembolic complications in COVID-19 patients admitted to an academic hospital in Milan, Italy
2020
Background Few data are available on the rate and characteristics of thromboembolic complications in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Methods We studied consecutive symptomatic patients with laboratory-proven COVID-19 admitted to a university hospital in Milan, Italy (13.02.2020–10.04.2020). The primary outcome was any thromboembolic complication, including venous thromboembolism (VTE), ischemic stroke, and acute coronary syndrome (ACS)/myocardial infarction (MI). Secondary outcome was overt disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Results We included 388 patients (median age 66 years, 68% men, 16% requiring intensive care [ICU]). Thromboprophylaxis was used in 100% of ICU patients…
Prognostic value of right ventricular dysfunction or elevated cardiac biomarkers in patients with low-risk pulmonary embolism: a systematic review an…
2018
Abstract Aims Patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) classified as low risk by the Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI), its simplified version (sPESI), or the Hestia criteria may be considered for early discharge. We investigated whether the presence of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction may aggravate the early prognosis of these patients. Methods and results We did a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies including low-risk patients with acute PE to investigate the prognostic value of RV dysfunction. Diagnosis of RV dysfunction was based on echocardiography or computed tomography pulmonary angiography. In addition, we investigated the prognostic value of elevated troponin…
