Use of Anticoagulation in Patients with COVID-19 Infection Use of Anticoagulation in Patients with COVID-19 Infection - CanadiEM Use of Anticoagulation in Patients with COVID-19 Infection In by Johnny Huang June 18, 2020 Introduction The novel coronavirus, known as COVID-19, was originally reported in a cluster of pneumonia cases in Wuhan (China) near the end of 2019 ​1​ . Over the next 6 months, COVID-19 has emerged as the world’s newest pandemic disease with over 7 million cases worldwide ​1 (...) and reduced fibrinogen levels, the distinguishing feature of COVID-19 pertains to thrombosis formation and inflammation without significant consumption of coagulation markers ​5​ . A case-series study showed an increased risk for VTE, mostly pulmonary embolism, among intensive care unit (ICU) patients with COVID-19-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) than those with non-COVID-19 ARDS, despite being on prophylactic anticoagulation ​9​ . Similar studies showed an incidence of VTE up to 30

Anticoagulation with or without Clopidogrel after Transcatheter Aortic-Valve Implantation. The roles of anticoagulation alone or with an antiplatelet agent after transcatheter aortic-valve implantation (TAVI) have not been well studied.We performed a randomized trial of clopidogrel in patients undergoing TAVI who were receiving oral anticoagulation for appropriate indications. Patients were assigned before TAVI in a 1:1 ratio not to receive clopidogrel or to receive clopidogrel for 3 months (...) from cardiovascular causes, ischemic stroke, or myocardial infarction (secondary composite 2), both tested for noninferiority (noninferiority margin, 7.5 percentage points) and superiority.Bleeding occurred in 34 of the 157 patients (21.7%) receiving oral anticoagulation alone and in 54 of the 156 (34.6%) receiving oral anticoagulation plus clopidogrel (risk ratio, 0.63; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.43 to 0.90; P = 0.01); most bleeding events were at the TAVI access site.

Covid-19: Clinical guide for the management of anticoagulant services during the coronavirus pandemic Publications approval reference: 001559 NHS England and NHS Improvement Specialty guides for patient management during the coronavirus pandemic Clinical guide for the management of anticoagulant services during the coronavirus pandemic 31 March 2020 Version 1 As healthcare professionals we all have general responsibilities in relation to coronavirus and for these we should seek and act (...) on national and local guidelines. We also have a specific responsibility to ensure that anticoagulant care continues with the minimum burden on the NHS. We must engage with management and clinical teams planning the local response in our hospitals and across primary care. Anticoagulant services may not seem to be in the frontline with coronavirus but we do have a key role in continuing to keep patients on anticoagulants as safe as possible; this must be planned. In response to pressures on the NHS

Equivalent inpatient mortality among direct-acting oral anticoagulant and warfarin users presenting with major hemorrhage Extrapolation of clinical trial results comparing warfarin and direct-acting oral anticoagulant (DOAC) users experiencing major hemorrhage to clinical care is challenging due to differences seen among non-randomized oral anticoagulant users, bleed location, and etiology. We hypothesized that inpatient all-cause-mortality among patients presenting with major hemorrhage (...) differed based on the home-administered anticoagulant medication class, DOAC versus warfarin.More than 1.5 million hospitalizations were screened and 3731 patients with major hemorrhage were identified in the REDS-III Recipient Database. Propensity score matching and stratification were used to account for potentially confounding factors.Inpatient all-cause-mortality was lower for DOAC (HR = 0.60, 95%CI 0.45-0.80, p = 0.0005) before accounting for confounding and competing events. Inpatient all-cause

Oral Anticoagulation for Patients With Atrial Fibrillation on Long-Term Hemodialysis Patients on long-term dialysis are at increased risk of bleeding. Although oral anticoagulants (OACs) are recommended for atrial fibrillation (AF) to reduce the risk of stroke, randomized trials have excluded these populations. As such, the net clinical benefit of OACs among patients on dialysis is unknown.This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of OACs in patients with AF on long-term (...) for dabigatran and rivaroxaban were limited to major bleeding events. Compared with no anticoagulants, apixaban and warfarin were not associated with a significant decrease in stroke and/or systemic thromboembolism (apixaban 5 mg, hazard ratio [HR]: 0.59; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.30 to 1.17; apixaban 2.5 mg, HR: 1.00; 95% CI: 0.52 to 1.93; warfarin, HR: 0.91; 95% CI: 0.72 to 1.16). Apixaban 5 mg was associated with a significantly lower risk of mortality (vs. warfarin, HR: 0.65; 95% CI: 0.45 to 0.93

(to prevent major bleeding) or 7 days (to prevent minor bleeding) prior to the renal biopsy (1C). c. We suggest the use of bridging anticoagulation in patients at highest risk for thromboembolism.

What is the appropriate anticoagulation for patients with antiphospholipid syndrome? Chiefs’ Inquiry Corner – 1/6/19 – Clinical Correlations Search Chiefs’ Inquiry Corner – 1/6/19 January 6, 2020 2 min read Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have replaced warfarin for many indications because they are effective and easier to use. Antiphospholipid syndrome is a notable exception to this trend. In a trial of 120 high risk patients with antiphospholipid syndrome randomized to rivaroxaban versus

Association of Anticoagulant Therapy With Risk of Fracture Among Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Warfarin is prescribed to patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) for the prevention of cardioembolic complications. Whether warfarin adversely affects bone health is controversial. The availability of alternate direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) options now make it possible to evaluate the comparative safety of warfarin in association with fracture risk.To test the hypothesis that, among patients (...) with nonvalvular AF, use of DOACs vs warfarin is associated with lower risk of incident fracture.This comparative effectiveness cohort study used the MarketScan administrative claims databases to identify patients with nonvalvular AF and who were prescribed oral anticoagulants from January 1, 2010, through September 30, 2015. To reduce confounding, patients were matched on age, sex, CHA2DS2-VASc (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age [>65 years = 1 point; >75 years = 2 points], diabetes, and previous

Osteoporotic Fractures in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Treated With Conventional Versus Direct Anticoagulants Elderly patients in long-term treatment with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) are at high risk of osteoporotic fractures compared with the background population. It has been speculated that the choice of oral anticoagulant (OAC) may affect the risk of osteoporotic fractures.The risk of osteoporotic fractures was evaluated among patients with atrial fibrillation treated with VKA (...) or direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs).Patients were identified using the Danish national registries. Patients were included only if they had no prior use of osteoporosis medication and they had undergone 180 days of OAC treatment. Outcomes were hip fracture, major osteoporotic fracture, any fracture, initiation of osteoporosis medication, and a combined endpoint.Overall, 37,350 patients were included. The standardized absolute 2-year risk of any fracture was low among DOAC-treated patients (3.1%; 95% CI
