The benefits and risks of extending anticoagulant treatment beyond the first 3 to 6 months in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) clinical practice are not well understood. ETNA-VTE Europe is a prospective, noninterventional, post-authorization study unselected VTE treated edoxaban eight European countries for up 18 months. Recurrent VTE, major bleeding, all-cause death were primary outcomes. median age 2,644 was 65 years; 46.6% female, 22.8% had history VTE. duration 50.6 weeks...
Abstract Background Low-dose direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are indicated to mitigate bleeding risk during thromboprophylaxis for certain patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). No randomised clinical trials have directly compared outcomes low-dose edoxaban vs apixaban; thus, assessing these treatments in routine practice is important informing patient management this setting. Purpose With strong evidence the overall benefit of (the most recently approved DOAC Italy), we aimed evaluate...
SUMMARYBackground: Budesonide/formoterol in a single inhaler is an effective therapy for asthma. We investigated whether adjustable maintenance dosing with budesonide/formoterol could maintain health-related quality of life (HRQL) and asthma control.Patients/methods: Asthma patients (n = 4025) received (Symbicort* 160/4.5 µg) 2 inhalations twice daily (bid) 4 weeks during run-in this open, multicentre study. Patients were randomised to (budesonide/formoterol 1 inhalation bid; stepping up or...
