Article Synopsis
  • Managing cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) poses challenges due to factors like bleeding risk, patient frailty, and drug interactions, necessitating careful treatment decisions.
  • With the introduction of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), not all CAT patients benefit equally due to varied clinical and laboratory characteristics.
  • This review discusses four specific scenarios in CAT management—brain metastasis, gastrointestinal malignancies, drug interactions, and thrombocytopenia—suggesting tailored treatment approaches based on current literature.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare stroke prevention strategies, management of comorbidities, and clinical outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) across different healthcare specialties: cardiology, primary care, and others.
  • Among 52,011 patients, those in cardiology were more likely to receive non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) compared to those in primary care or other specialties, while comorbidity management was similar across all groups.
  • Patients receiving care outside of cardiology faced higher risks for non-cardiovascular mortality, major bleeding, and worsening heart failure, indicating a need for improved AF management in these settings.

Background And Objectives: Evidence remains limited on the real-world prescription of very low-dose oral anticoagulation among frail patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We described the practice patterns, effectiveness, and safety of very low-dose edoxaban (15 mg once daily).

Methods: Patients with AF prescribed edoxaban 15 mg once daily in 2 tertiary hospitals between 2016 and September 2022 were included.

Pretibial traumatic hematomas, a subtype of subcutaneous tension hematomas, are a frequent but understudied injury seen predominantly among the elderly. This patient cohort has a high incidence of comorbidities and frailty. They are frequently taking antiplatelet medications and systemic anticoagulants.
