Background Hereditary and acquired thrombophilia are risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Whether testing helps guide management decisions is controversial. Objective These evidence-based guidelines from the American Society of Hematology (ASH) intend to support decision making about testing. Methods ASH formed a multidisciplinary guideline panel covering clinical methodological expertise minimizing bias conflicts interest. The McMaster University GRADE Centre provided logistical...

Patients with peripheral artery disease are at increased risk for major adverse cardiac events, limb and all-cause death. Developing tools capable of identifying those patients greatest events is the first step outcome prevention. This study aimed to determine whether computer-assisted analysis a resting Doppler waveform using deep neural networks can accurately identify events.

To provide direct comparison between apixaban and rivaroxaban in patients with acute cancer-associated venous thromboembolism (Ca-VTE), consecutive treated apixaban, rivaroxaban, or enoxaparin at Mayo Thrombophilia Clinic (March 1, 2013 to January 31, 2018)) were followed prospectively. The primary effectiveness outcome was (VTE) recurrence, the secondary mortality. safety major bleeding, clinically relevant non-major bleeding (CRNMB), third a composite of CRNMB. There 750 for Ca-VTE (n =...

Abstract Premortem clinical presentation of cancer‐associated non‐bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (Ca‐NBTE), therapy, and the clinal course is limited to case reports small series. An electronic search Mayo Clinic records (03/31/2002–06/30/2022) with a subsequent manual review was performed identify adult patients echocardiographically detected NBTE active malignancy, excluding those infectious or lupus anticoagulant/antiphospholipid antibodies. In this retrospective cohort study, we...

Background: The calf muscle pump is an understudied contributor to venous return from the lower extremity. This study aimed determine if function (CPF) independently associated with severity of chronic disease classified by CEAP (Clinical-Etiology-Anatomy-Pathophysiology). Methods: Mayo Clinic Vascular Laboratory database was analyzed January 2015 through September 2023. Ambulatory adults who underwent air plethysmography were included. Venous assessed incompetence, and CPF measured as...

The safety and efficacy of anticoagulation for venous thromboembolism (VTE) at times severe thrombocytopenia is unclear. In this retrospective study, we evaluated patients with hematologic malignancy either (1) acute or chronic VTE on before platelet count dropped below 50 × 109/L (2) occurring while platelets were <50 109/L. 78 eligible patients, the primary outcomes time to recurrent clinically significant bleeding within 100 d compared by management strategy. Bleeding occurred in 27%...

Guidelines for diagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) start with a risk assessment using pretest probability (PTP) tool, followed by D-dimer testing or computed tomography angiography (CTPA) depending on risk. The project aimed to develop an electronic clinical quality measure (eCQM) encourage broader use of validated PTP scoring tool in emergency departments (EDs) more accurately diagnose PE and reduce unnecessary CTPAs. To identify value set CTPA abnormal tests standard classification systems...

Warfarin is a commonly prescribed anticoagulant with narrow therapeutic window, requiring frequent and specialized monitoring. This work aims to develop standardized optimal warfarin dose decision support using machine learning model based on time series anticoagulation data patient demographic characteristics. We propose an offline reinforcement (RL) Batch-Constrained Q-Learning algorithm (BCQ) in the discrete action setting predict cumulative for days until next INR (International...

Abstract Background Cancer‐associated venous thromboembolism (VTE) carries a high rate of recurrence and death. Guidelines recommend continued anticoagulation therapy as long active cancer persists. Apixaban 2.5 mg twice daily is the FDA‐approved dose for secondary prevention regardless VTE causation. Whether this apixaban appropriate in patients not clear. The rationale design investigator initiated phase III, multicenter, randomized, double‐blind, trial assessing vs 5 12 months (n = 370)...
