A Nationwide Analysis of Outcomes of Stroke in Hospitalized Patients with Essential Thrombocythemia: 2006 to 2014
Conclusions:Patients with ET who are hospitalized with stroke have significantly worse outcomes. This study demonstrated that a statistically significant difference exists among different age groups of patients with ET and stoke who died during hospitalization when stratification is made using age groups and Charlson Score. This study may serve as an initial point to include new risk factors for further risk stratification. Early identification of patients at higher risk may reduce the incidence and decrease the morbidity of stroke in patients with ET.DisclosuresKota: BMS: Honoraria; Novartis: Honoraria; Xcenda: Honoraria;...

Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Patients with Myeloproliferative Neoplasms: A Single Institution Retrospective Study
Discussion: Our limited data suggests that use of DOACs in patients with MPN is feasible with an acceptable balance between risk of hemorrhage and recurrent thrombosis. Additional data on long term outcomes of DOACs in MPNs are needed.DisclosuresNo relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Clonal Hematopoiesis in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms Confers a Predisposition to both Thrombosis and Cancer
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThis review focuses on vascular complications associated with chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) and more specifically aims to discuss the clinical and biological evidence supporting the existence of a link between clonal hematopoiesis, cardiovascular events (CVE), and solid cancer (SC).Recent FindingsThe MPN natural history is driven by uncontrolled clonal myeloproliferation sustained by acquired somatic mutations in driver (JAK2, CALR, and MPL) and non-driver genes, involving epigenetic (e.g., TET2, DNMT3A) regulators, chromatin regulator genes (e.g., ASXL1, EZH2), and splicing machinery ...
