Outcomes Following Bleeding on Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation at Liverpool Hospital
Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are vital in atrial fibrillation (AF) stroke prevention. On-treatment bleeding has significant morbidity and mortality. Dabigatran is reversible with an available specific agent; however, the Factor-Xa-Inhibitor (FxaI) reversal-agent has limited availability.

Direct oral anticoagulants: patient reported adherence and minor bleedings
AbstractData regarding adherence and minor bleeding on direct oral anticoagulants in everyday life are still sparse. Inclusion criteria: treatment initiated with dabigatran, rivaroxaban or apixaban in non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients from a center in northern Sweden between 2011 and 2019 (n = 668). Exclusion criteria: cognitive impairment, dose dispensing, need of interpreter or hospital admission (n = 67). By a telephone interview adherence was measured in 569 patients (response rate 94.8%) using the 8-item Morisky medication adherence scale and minor bleeding was asked for. CHA2DS2-VASc and HAS-BLED sco...

Reduced dose direct oral anticoagulants compared with warfarin with high time in therapeutic range in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation
The objective of this study was to compare effectiveness and safety between reduced dose DOACs and high TTR warfarin treatment (TTR ≥ 70%) in NVAF. A Swedish anticoagulation registry was used in identifying eligible patients from July 2011 to December 2017. The study cohort consisted of 40,564 patients with newly initiated DOAC (apixaban, dabigatran, or rivaroxaban) (11,083 patients) or warfarin treatment (29,481 patients ) after exclusion of 374,135 patients due to not being warfarin or DOAC naïve, not being prescribed reduced dose, having previous mechanical heart valve (MHV), or being under 18 years old. The me...

Pharmacokinetics of Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Extreme Obesity
Clin Ther. 2021 Aug 5:S0149-2918(21)00247-2. doi: 10.1016/j.clinthera.2021.07.003. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPURPOSE: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are recommended in preference to vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) eligible for oral anticoagulation therapy; however, data and clinical experiences supporting the use of DOACs in patients with a body mass index ≥40 kg/m2 or weight >120 kg remain limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetic properties of DOACs in patients with AF and extreme obesity.METHODS: We enrolled all consecutiv...

Appropriateness of inpatient dosing of direct oral anticoagulants for atrial fibrillation
The objective was to determine the rates of inappropriate inpatient DOAC dosing in AF and identifying its associated underlying factors. We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study from December 2013 to November 2019 across six South Australian public hospitals utilising a centralised electronic health record. Multivariate analysis was used to identify factors associated with underdosing of patients prescribed apixaban. Of 1882 inpatients, 544 (28.9 %) were inappropriately dosed. Underdosing was the most common form of inappropriate dosing with rates of 22.9 % (n = 295), 7.1 % (n = 7), and 25.1 % (n...

Bleeding risk in patients with venous thromboembolic events treated with new oral anticoagulants
AbstractNew oral anticoagulants (NOACs) is the preferred treatment in secondary prophylaxis of venous thromboembolic events (VTE). The aim of this study was to investigate possible risk factors associated with major bleeding in VTE-patients treated with NOACs. In this retrospective register-based study we screened the Swedish anticoagulation registerAuricula (during 2012.01.01 –2017.12.31) to find patients and used other national registers for outcomes. Primary endpoint was major bleeding defined as bleeding leading to hospital care. Multivariate Cox-regression analysis was used to reveal risk factors. 18 219 patients wi...

Intravenous Fat Emulsion Does Not Significantly Alter Clotting Markers in Dabigatran-Treated Blood
AbstractDabigatran etexilate is an oral direct thrombin (Factor IIa) inhibitor approved for patients with atrial fibrillation and for management of risk of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Dabigatran offers advantages over treatment with warfarin, including limited laboratory monitoring. It is equivalent in prevention of stroke and deep vein thrombosis with essentially equivalent complication rates. In contrast to warfarin, reversal of the anticoagulation is less well established. Idarucizumab is available for reversal, however supporting research is mixed; the agent also happens to be quite expensive making av...

Revascularization outcomes following acute ischemic stroke in patients taking direct oral anticoagulants: a single hospital cohort study
AbstractSuccessful revascularization therapy is of paramount importance in patients suffering acute ischemic stroke (AIS). However, there is currently only limited evidence on revascularization outcomes for patients suffering AIS while treated with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). The aim of our study was to determine the efficacy and safety of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and mechanical reperfusion (MeR) in AIS patients taking DOACs, and compare them to randomized clinical trials (RCTs), which included patients without DOAC treatment. In an observational cohort study, we analyzed clinical and radiological outcomes fo...
