Obesity and cesarean delivery are established risk factors for pregnancy-related VTE. We identified additional risk factors among patients with obesity who underwent a cesarean delivery to identify those who need VTE prophylaxis. We conducted a secondary analysis of data from the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Units Network (MFMU) Cesarean Registry Database using a case-control design. Cases were identified as women with obesity having a pre-pregnancy body mass index of >30 kg/m<jats:sup>2</jats:sup>, who underwent cesarean delivery and subsequently developed deep venous thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE). These women were compared to a control group of women with obesity who underwent cesarean delivery but did not develop DVT or PE. Analysis of risk factors associated with VTE was performed using Chi-Square test and Fisher's exact test. We identified 43 VTE cases and 172 controls in the MFMU database. Increased risk of VTE was noted in women with endometritis (OR of 4.58 [95% CI: 1.86-11.2, P = .0004]), receiving a blood transfusion (OR 17.07 [95% CI: 4.46-65.3, P = .0001]), having a coagulopathy (OR 27.73 [95% CI: 3.24-237.25, P = .0003]), and urinary tract infection (OR 2.39 [95% CI: 1.08-5.28, P = .03]). Important risk factors for VTE in women with obesity who undergo cesarean delivery include endometritis, intra- or post-operative transfusion, coagulopathy, and urinary tract infection. The presence of one or more of these factors may help guide provider decision-making regarding whether to administer thromboprophylaxis.","PeriodicalId":10335,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis","volume":"102 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140590019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Risk factors associated with inclusion or exclusion from rtPA were determined using multivariate logistic regression analysis. The adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence interval for each risk factor were used to predict the increasing odds of an association of a specific risk factor with exclusion from rtPA.

Therefore, hemostatic abnormalities in patients with HCC were examined using a clot waveform analysis (CWA). Methods: Hemostatic abnormalities in 88 samples from HCC patients, 48 samples from LC patients and 153 samples from patients with chronic liver diseases (CH) were examined using a CWA-activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and small amount of tissue factor induced FIX activation (sTF/FIXa) assay. Results: There were no significant differences in the peak time on CWA-APTT among HCC, LC, and CH, and the peak heights of CWA-APTT were significantly higher in HCC and CH than in HVs and LC. The peak heights of the CWA-sTF/FIXa were significantly higher in HCC than in LC. The peak times of the CWA-APTT were significantly longer in stages B, C, and D than in stage A or cases of response. In the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the fibrin formation height (FFH) of the CWA-APTT and CWA-sTF/FIXa showed the highest diagnostic ability for HCC and LC, respectively.

In ROC, the peak time×peak height of the first derivative on the CWA-sTF/FIXa showed the highest diagnostic ability for thrombosis.

Herein, we conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis to assess the efficacy and safety of different durations of DAPT.MethodsWe reviewed relevant articles and references from database, which were published prior to April 2023. Data from prospective studies were processed using RevMan5.0 software, provided by Cochrane Collaboration and transformed using relevant formulas.

In comparison with no or short-term DAPT, long-term DAPT reduced MI and stroke, but did not reduce the total and CV mortalities. Meanwhile, bleeding events were increased, even though intracranial and fatal bleedings were not affected. Besides, the reduction of MI and stroke recurrence showed no statistical significance between long-term and short-term DAPT groups.ConclusionLong-term DAPT may not reduce the mortality of IVD besides increasing bleeding events, although reduced the incidences of MI and stroke early recurrence to a certain extent and did not increase the risk of fatal intracranial bleeding.","PeriodicalId":10335,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis","volume":"102 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140590133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
