While bioequivalence has been demonstrated with Eliquis (Bristol-Myers Squibb/Pfizer, UK), it is necessary to monitor its effectiveness prior to acceptance in medical practice. This prospective study independently evaluated Apixaban (ZyQuis) at two accredited laboratories. Participants were converted from Warfarin or Rivaroxaban to Apixaban 5 mg bd for a duration of one month. Peak anti-Xa levels were measured 3-4 h post the morning dose. The samples were processed on the Atellica COAG 360 (Siemens Healthineers, Marburg, Germany) analyzers with a chromogenic anti-Xa assay (Innovance, reference interval 69-321 ng/mL). There were 26 participants; 5 men, 21 women; mean ± standard deviation age of 46 ± 12 years. Indications for anticoagulation included: VTE (88.5%) and AF (11.5%). 69.2% of the participants had at least one comorbidity. 96.2% of the anti-Xa levels were within the laboratory's 95% reference interval. Mean anti-Xa activity was 191 ± 69 ng/mL and 186 ± 68 ng/mL measured at respective laboratories. Mean differences in anti-Xa measurements represented by Bland–Altman statistics were small (bias of −2.6%, 95% confidence interval −1.11 to −4.09) and a strong correlation was observed on Deming regression analysis (0.995). Apixaban (ZyQuis) was effective for the management of VTE and AF as evidenced by anti-Xa activity.","PeriodicalId":10335,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis","volume":"266 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140803233","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}

We review the current literature that describes high-risk patient groups in which DLM may be beneficial for improved patient anticoagulation management and stewardship. The review also summarizes the limitations of conventional coagulation testing and discuss the emerging utility of quantitative methods for routine and rapid emergent evaluation of DOAC drug levels—in particular, the Anti-Xa activity to detect Factor Xa Inhibitors (rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban).

Our study included 319 patients who were prospectively admitted with STEMI between January 2021 and April 2022.

The ATRIA risk score ( p < .001) was significantly higher in the HTB group. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, ATRIA score, glomerular filtration rate, hypertensıon, abciximab usage, and no-reflow were found to be independent predictors of HTB in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI.

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.

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.

In comparison with no or short-term DAPT, long-term DAPT reduced MI and stroke, but did not reduce the total and CV mortalities.
