The impact of anticoagulant-related bleeding on quality of life: Development of a novel measure based on perspectives from older adults.
PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Pharmacotherapy, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, United States of America.
Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) and atrial fibrillation (AF) disproportionately affect older adults, who are at increased risk of bleeding from treatment with anticoagulant therapy. The impact of bleeding on older adults' quality of life (QoL) is poorly understood due to the lack of a validated measure of their experience. This study's purpose is to describe the first evidence-based steps in developing a new condition-specific patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) for the effect of anticoagulant-related bleeding on older adults' QoL.

Department of Cardiology, Firat University Hospital, Elazig, Türkiye.
Objective: The main objective of this study is to determine the incidence and predictors of clinical outcomes in patients with AF treated with factor Xa inhibitors in a real-world setting.
Methods: The present study was a multicentre and observational study that included patients with AF who were treated with factor Xa inhibitors. The primary outcome was the composite of ischemic stroke, TIA, systemic embolism, major bleeding, and all-cause mortality.
Prevalence and predictors of sub-optimal laboratory monitoring of selected higher risk medicines in Irish general practice: a 5-year retrospective cohort study of community-dwelling older adults.
BMJ Open
January 2025
Department of General Practice, University College Cork, Cork, Ireland
Objectives: To describe the prevalence of sub-optimal monitoring for selected higher-risk medicines in older community-dwelling adults and to evaluate patient characteristics and outcomes associated with sub-optimal monitoring.
Study Design: Retrospective observational study (2011-2015) using historical general practice-based cohort data and linked dispensing data from a national pharmacy claims database.
Setting: Irish primary care.
Apixaban versus aspirin for stroke prevention in people with subclinical atrial fibrillation and a history of stroke or transient ischaemic attack: subgroup analysis of the ARTESiA randomised controlled trial.
Lancet Neurol
February 2025
Department of Medicine, McMaster University, Population Health Research Institute, Hamilton, ON, Canada.
Background: People with subclinical atrial fibrillation are at increased risk of stroke, albeit to a lesser extent than those with clinical atrial fibrillation, leading to an ongoing debate regarding the benefit of anticoagulation in these individuals. In the ARTESiA trial, the direct-acting oral anticoagulant apixaban reduced stroke or systemic embolism compared with aspirin in people with subclinical atrial fibrillation, but the risk of major bleeding was increased with apixaban. In a prespecified subgroup analysis of ARTESiA, we tested the hypothesis that people with subclinical atrial fibrillation and a history of stroke or transient ischaemic attack, who are known to have an increased risk of recurrent stroke, would show a greater benefit from oral anticoagulation for secondary stroke prevention compared with those without a history of stroke or transient ischaemic attack.

: The incidences of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients undergoing neurological surgeries vary. The objectives were to assess the incidence and risk factors of VTE, bleeding and all-cause mortality in patients undergoing neurological surgery. : This retrospective cohort study was conducted at a single center, a university-based hospital in Thailand.
