Background: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have complex dosing regimens and are often incorrectly prescribed. We evaluated a nationwide DOAC population management dashboard rollout whose purpose includes pharmacist review and correction of off-label dosing prescriptions.
Methods And Results: Using data from Veterans Health Affairs, we identified all patients prescribed DOACs for atrial fibrillation or venous thromboembolism between August 2015 and December 2019.

Clofazimine is recommended for the treatment of rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB), but there is currently no verified dosing guideline for its use in children. There is only limited safety and no pharmacokinetic (PK) data available for children. We aimed to characterize clofazimine PK and its relationship with QT-interval prolongation in children.

Background: Recently published studies indicated a high proportion of patients taking direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are off-label under- or overdosed. The present study aimed at investigating whether off-label dosages are corrected over time and whether off-label doses are associated with differences in bleeding rates, ischemic stroke, or venous thromboembolism.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, patients presenting to our emergency department between January 1 and December 31, 2018, with therapeutic oral anticoagulation were included (ie, vitamin-K antagonists [VKAs], rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban, and dabigatran) and follow-up for a maximum of 2 years until December 31, 2019, was made.
