A ten-year comparison of treatment and outcomes of cancer-associated thrombosis to non-cancer venous thromboembolism: from traditional anticoagulants to direct oral anticoagulants.

DOACs have emerged as first-line treatment in most cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT), representing a paradigm shift in its management. However, CAT management remains challenging and requires careful risk-benefit considerations. A retrospective analysis of CAT presentations to a tertiary referral centre from January 2011 to December 2020.

Management of venous thromboembolism in morbidly obese patients: a 10-year review.

Obesity is a known risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE) and poses a unique set of challenges in anticoagulation management. We report a 10-year experience of VTE management in morbidly obese patients. We conducted a retrospective analysis of VTE presentations to Northern Health, Victoria, Australia, from January 2011 to December 2020, with median follow-up of 44 months.

A ten-year review of the impact of the transition from warfarin to direct oral anticoagulant - Has venous thromboembolism treatment become safer?

Background: The introduction of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) has resulted in a paradigm shift in the management of venous thromboembolism (VTE). We evaluate the impact of the transition to DOAC, over the last decade, on overall VTE clinical outcomes including in first unprovoked major VTEs.

Method: A retrospective analysis of all VTE admissions in non-cancer patients from January 2011 to December 2020 at Northern Health, Victoria, Australia.
