Article Synopsis
- The study investigates sex differences in treatment approaches for pulmonary embolism (PE) among older adults, revealing that existing evidence on disparities is limited and often inconclusive due to small sample sizes and inadequate methods.
- Analysis of data from a European PE registry and US Medicare beneficiaries shows no significant overall sex differences in the use of anticoagulation or advanced therapies, although fewer women received fibrinolytic therapy compared to men with intermediate-risk PE.
- The authors suggest that future research should explore whether the observed sex disparities in treatment correlate with different clinical outcomes, especially regarding fibrinolytic therapy and advanced treatment utilization in older adults in the US.
Objective: To evaluate the impact of coadministering statins with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) on the risk of major bleeding events in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE).
Design: Observational cohort analysis based on a multicentre international registry.
Setting: Data were extracted from the Registro Informatizado de Enfermedad TromboEmbolica Registry, which involves 205 centres across 27 countries.
Background: The clinical relevance of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) after discontinuing anticoagulation in patients with COVID-19-associated VTE remains uncertain. We estimated the incidence rates and mortality of VTE recurrences developing after discontinuing anticoagulation in patients with COVID-19-associated VTE.
Methods: A prospective, multicenter, non-interventional study was conducted between March 25, 2020, and July 26, 2023, including patients who had discontinued anticoagulation after at least 3 months of therapy.
Introduction: Endocrinology and Nutrition (EyN) is an outpatient and hospital medical specialty. This study aims to understand the evolution of the activity of interdepartmental consultation (IC) carried out by EyN in hospitalization floor of a third level hospital, comparing its evolution with other medical specialties, and comparing endocrine IC with nutritional IC.
Material And Methods: Longitudinal and retrospective study which analyzes IC notes of EyN and other medical specialties between 01-01-2013 and 31-12-2022.
Background: Age is a major risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE), yet patients aged ≥90 years are under-represented in clinical trials of anticoagulant therapy. The objectives were to describe and compare patient clinical characteristics, treatments, and outcomes (VTE recurrence, bleeding, and mortality) during the first 3 months of anticoagulation between VTE patients aged ≥90 years and those aged <90 years.
Methods: We analyzed data from the Registro Informatizado Enfermedad TromboEmbὀlica (RIETE), an ongoing global observational registry of patients with objectively confirmed acute VTE.
