Among the top 34 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (p < 1 x 10−6), two loci had concordant effects in both cohorts: ALOX15B (rs1804772) (MAF: 1%; p = 3.95 x 10−7) that influences arachidonic acid metabolism and thus platelet aggregation, and KALRN (rs570684) (MAF: 1%; p = 4.34 x 10−7) that has been previously associated with risk of ischemic stroke, atherosclerosis, and early-onset coronary artery disease. Conclusion: This represents the largest GWAS meta-analysis conducted to date associating SNPs to VTE in children and adolescents treated on childhood ALL protocols. Validation of these findings is needed and may then lead to patient stratification for VTE preventive interventions. As VTE hemostasis involves multiple pathways, a more powerful GWAS is needed to detect combination of variants associated with VTE.]]> Wed 20 Jul 2022 14:36:48 AEST ]]> Educational outreach visits to improve nurses’ use of mechanical venous thromboembolism prevention in hospitalized medical patients https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27198 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:24:41 AEST ]]> Testing the effect of a targeted intervention on nurses' compliance with "best practice" mechanical venous thromboembolism prevention https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27195 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:06:12 AEST ]]> Translating venous thromboembolism (VTE) prevention evidence into practice: a multidisciplinary evidence implementation project https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27194 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:34:47 AEST ]]> Prevention of venous thromboembolism in hospitalized patients: analysis of reduced cost and improved clinical outcomes https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27197 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:03:16 AEST ]]> Safety of anticoagulation in the treatment of venous thromboembolism in patients with haematological malignancies and thrombocytopenia: report of 5 cases and literature review https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29675 Wed 02 Mar 2022 14:26:49 AEDT ]]> The effectiveness and safety of direct oral anticoagulants following lower limb fracture surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46701 P < 0.0001) and less pharmacologically attributable adverse events (Odds ratio 0.62; 95% confidence interval, 0.46–0.82; P = 0.0007). There was difference between DOACs and conventional VTE prophylaxis regarding mortality, PE, symptomatic deep vein thrombosis, or bleeding events. The results generally support the use of DOACs for VTE prophylaxis after nonelective lower limb fracture surgery, such after hip fracture. The results more strongly support the use of XaIs; however, more evidence is needed to fully assess DOACs' role in clinical practice. Level of Evidence: Therapeutic Level II.

Polytrauma patients were more hypercoagulable than nonpolytrauma at the preoperative sample time (17.7 ± 2.6 U vs. 10.7 ± 1.2 U, p = 0.040) and postoperative period (24.3 ± 3.4 U vs. 11.9 ± 1.4 U, p = 0.006). The OHP for patients undergoing open pelvic surgery (28.3 ± 3.0 U) was higher than both intramedullary nailing (16.2 ± 2.0 U) and percutaneous pelvic surgery (17.0 ± 1.7 U) on Day 5 (p < 0.05). Patients demonstrated a higher OHP than controls did at all time points, except at 6 weeks (patients, 10.8 ± 1.7 U vs. controls, 8.1 ± 0.5 U; p = 0.400). CONCLUSION: The OHP assay detected the hypercoagulable state following major orthopedic trauma and surgical intervention, which was present for 10 days postoperatively. The extent of hypercoagulability could be associated with polytrauma and the type of surgical intervention; however, further studies are needed to confirm this.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:06:06 AEDT ]]> Venous and arterial thrombo-embolic complications of hormonal treatment in a male-to-female transgender patient https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5047 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:45:38 AEDT ]]> Variable plasma levels of Factor V Leiden correlate with circulating platelet microparticles in carriers of Factor V Leiden https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22227 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:17:36 AEDT ]]> Investigating the role of microparticles/ microvesicles/extracellular vesicles in vascular biology, haemostasis and haemopoietic dysregulation https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34877 Mon 23 Sep 2019 12:38:08 AEST ]]> Prevention of venous thromboembolism in gynecological cancer patients undergoing major abdominopelvic surgery: a systematic review and network meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46176 Mon 14 Nov 2022 08:57:36 AEDT ]]> A systematic review of prophylactic anticoagulation in nephrotic syndrome https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38488 Fri 08 Oct 2021 16:17:10 AEDT ]]>
