BackgroundStorage pool deficiency (SPD) is a rare bleeding disorder characterized by reduction in the number of delta granules within platelets, interfering with hemostasis. Current literature lacks well-designed studies from which to draw concrete conclusions regarding pre-procedural management of bleeding complications. The purpose of this study is to describe bleeding and safety outcomes of SPD patients receiving either pre-procedural platelet transfusions or platelet-sparing regimens.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of major bleeding and thromboembolic events (TEs) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) receiving warfarin alone (monotherapy group) versus warfarin plus aspirin (combination therapy group).
Methods: This was a retrospective, cohort study including patients from a pharmacist-run anticoagulation clinic.
Background: Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors have been shown to lower atherogenic lipid markers in patients with statin intolerance; however, external validity of these findings is unclear in patients with self-reported statin intolerance.
Objective: The objective of this study was to describe the tolerability of evolocumab and alirocumab in patients with self-reported statin intolerance. Secondary objectives were to describe their efficacy and obtainability.
Background: Medication nonadherence is a worldwide issue that can lead to poor clinical outcomes and increased health-care costs.
Objective: To determine the predictors of medication nonadherence.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted for patients who received prescription medications from Cleveland Clinic outpatient pharmacies.
