Background: Since the approval of oral factor Xa inhibitors, there have been concerns regarding ability to neutralize their anticoagulant effects after intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). Multiple guidelines suggest using prothrombin complex concentrates (PCCs) in these patients on basis research that includes a limited number with ICH. Given this, we aimed evaluate safety and efficacy PCCs for inhibitor–related ICH large, multicenter cohort patients. Methods: This was multicenter, retrospective,...
Alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) is a common condition prompting emergency department (ED) presentation. However, there are limited recent, large-scale, robust data available on the incidence, admission, and medical treatment of AWS in ED. This was retrospective cohort study ED presentations for from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2023, using Epic Cosmos. All visits with ICD-10 codes corresponding were included. Outcomes included percentage total visits, admitted, length stay (LOS),...
To determine the effectiveness and safety of andexanet prothrombin complex concentrates (PCCs) when administered after intracranial hemorrhage (ICrH) associated with direct oral anticoagulants, specifically apixaban or rivaroxaban. A multicenter, retrospective, observational study patients rivaroxaban-related ICrH who received PCCs between January 1, 2015, March 31, 2023. predefined sensitivity analysis excluding an admission Glasgow Coma Scale score less than 7 was also performed. Forty-two...
