There is currently no established management pathway for lower extremity superficial vein thrombosis (SVT), leading to significant uncertainty among front-line providers. This study aimed assess prescribing practices and patient outcomes the initial treatment of SVT. descriptive retrospective cohort in a single center included consecutive patients with radiographically diagnosed acute isolated SVT between January 1, 2016 December 31, 2021. Exclusions were chronic SVT, concomitant deep or...
This scoping review summarizes the extent and characteristics of published literature describing digital population management dashboards implemented to improve quality anticoagulant management. A standardized search protocol was executed identify relevant manuscripts between January 1, 2015 May 31, 2022. The resulting records were systematically evaluated by multiple blinded reviewers findings from selected papers summarized. Twelve identified, originating 5 organizations within US 2 other...
Abstract Background Despite consensus guideline recommendations, the use of warfarin patient self‐management (PSM) in US healthcare system remains small comparison to European countries. Objectives To gain understanding barriers and facilitators PSM systems through exploration opinions select anticoagulation management service providers. Methods Focus group discussions were conducted at five geographically diverse sites. Grounded theory analysis was performed on focus transcriptions using...
Abstract Direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) are the most widely prescribed in United States. Despite advantages over warfarin, system-level improvements needed to optimize outcomes. While Veterans Health Administration and others have described successful DOAC management dashboard implementation, extent of use nationally is unknown. A survey Anticoagulation Forum’s members was conducted assess access digital tools available within a describe implementation models. An Expert Forum subsequently...
Abstract Background Despite consensus guideline recommendations, the use of warfarin patient self‐management (PSM) in United States (US) healthcare system remains underutilized. Objectives To gain an understanding barriers and facilitators to PSM US systems through qualitative exploration opinions select patients receiving therapy. Methods Individual interviews were conducted at five geographically diverse sites. Grounded theory analysis was performed on interview transcriptions using...
<h3>Introduction</h3> Nausea is a common and complex multisystem subjective symptom with considerable inter-individual variation in nausea susceptibility which makes it difficult to recruit homogenous subgroups of patients controls for clinical studies. Preliminary studies have demonstrated that the autonomic nervous system (ANS)1 plays an important role modulating perception. However not known if ANS parameters can be used as biomarkers perception susceptibility. <h3>Aim</h3> The aim our...
Patients receiving warfarin who spend a lower proportion of time in therapeutic international normalized ratio (INR) range (TTR) have higher risk both bleeding complications and thromboembolic events. Using dosing algorithms is one intervention associated with improved INR stability. To determine the feasibility an individualized algorithm (Fearon Algorithm) under anticoagulation management service (AMS) care compare measures control using standard care. A pre/post study consisting 12 months...
Warfarin maintenance dosing algorithms improve the time in therapeutic International Normalized Ratio (INR) range (TTR), a surrogate marker for clinical outcomes. Despite demonstrated benefit, many anticoagulation providers utilize experience-based instead. This study assessed rates of concordance between and algorithm-based warfarin at single clinic. Within University Utah Health Thrombosis Service, patients on dose with an INR goal 2.0–3.0 or 2.5–3.5 who had results during November 2019...
