No evidence that the influenza vaccine causes VTE
In the 1 to 10 days after flu vaccine administration, there was no increased risk for VTE.
Thromboembolism
Non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants with other medications increase bleeding risk in A-Fib
The researchers found that concurrent use of amiodarone, fluconazole, rifampin, and phenytoin was associated with increased risk of major bleeding compared with the use of NOACs alone.
Increased cancer risk found in rheumatoid arthritis patients with VTE
VTE and cancer are the result of inflammation and immunological dysfunctions associated with RA.
Venous thromboembolism risk strongly linked to height in men and women
Researchers found a strong association between VTE and height using sibling pair analysis.
About 5% of patients with unprovoked VTE develop occult cancer
Researchers observed a linear increase in cancer prevalence with age, with a 7-fold higher prevalence in patients older than 50 years of age.
Comparing anticoagulants to prevent venous thromboembolism after hip and knee arthroplasty
Fondaparinux and rivaroxaban were associated with increased risk of major bleeding in patients who underwent total hip or knee arthroplasty.
Effects of the obesity paradox: VTE risk in atrial fibrillation
Researchers found a paradoxical increase in thromboembolism risk in low-weight patients with atrial fibrillation and VTE who were treated with direct oral anticoagulants.
Rivaroxaban decreased VTE rate in high-risk orthopedic joint surgery patients
Researchers developed a protocol to demonstrate the efficacy of rivaroxaban in lowering the risk of venous thromboembolism among orthopedic joint surgery patients.
Restarting anticoagulation may be cost-effective in some VTE cases
The therapy may be cost-effective for patients with a predicted 1-year VTE risk of 17.5% or more.
Warfarin dosing in HIV patients with deep venous thrombosis
Results showed that mean induction times, analyzed in 170 patients, were 12.87 days in the HIV-infected patients and 11.19 days in the HIV-uninfected patients.
