Incidence of Visible Hematuria Among Antithrombotic Agents: A Systematic Review of Over 175,000 Patients.

Objective: To determine the probability of visible hematuria with antithrombotic agents and to evaluate association of urologic etiology in antithrombotic-related hematuria.

Methods: Preferred Reporting Items in Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were followed to conduct a systematic review using search engines PUBMED and SCOPUS with the terms "(hematuria) OR (haematuria) OR urinary bleeding)) AND ((anticoagulants) OR anticoagulation) OR noac) OR novel anticoagulants) OR antiplatelet) OR dabigatran) OR rivaroxaban) OR apixaban) OR warfarin) OR aspirin) OR heparin) OR dipyridamole)." Raw data were used to perform a pooled analysis.

Neoadjuvant Platinum-Based Chemotherapy is an Independent Predictor for Preoperative Thromboembolic Events in Bladder Cancer Patients Undergoing Radical Cystectomy.

Introduction: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) confers a significant survival benefit in patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer. Platinum-based chemotherapy increases the risk of thromboembolic events (TEE). We determined the effect of cisplatin-based NAC on the incidence of preoperative TEEs in radical cystectomy patients.
