We analyzed the intrahospital mortality of ICB cases in relation to long-term use of anticoagulants (LUAs).We performed a retrospective registry analysis of nationwide German hospitalizations including all hospital admissions and admission for ICB in patients aged ≥60 years in the period from 2006 to 2020 and separated for LUAs.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong> In 2006, the age-standardized rate of hospitalized male patients with LUAs was 7.3% and that of female patients was 5.6%. In 2020, the rates increased to 22.0 and 17.7% for male and female patients, respectively. Among patients hospitalized for ICB in 2006, 7.0 and 5.6% were male and female patients with LUAs, respectively. In 2020, the rate increased to 13.7% for males and 10.8% for females.In 2006, age-standardized mortality rates of male and female patients with ICB without LUAs were 24.1 and 23.9%, respectively. In 2020, the rate slightly decreased to 22.7% in males, but it remained almost unchanged in females at 23.8%. In the cases with LUA, the mortality rate decreased from 30.1 to 24.3% in males and from 28.4 to 24.2% in females in the same period.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong> LUA seems to be safe because there is a slower increase of the rate of LUAs in ICB cases than in generally hospitalized cases in the period from 2006 to 2020. In addition, mortality in ICB cases with LUA tends to decrease compared to cases without LUA.</p>","PeriodicalId":55074,"journal":{"name":"Hamostaseologie","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139693603","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}

There is no universally accepted definition of TIC. However, TIC primarily refers to the inability to achieve sufficient hemostasis in severely injured trauma patients, resulting in diffuse microvascular and life-threatening bleeding. Endogenous TIC is driven by the combination of hypovolemic shock and substantial tissue injury, resulting in endothelial damage, glycocalyx shedding, upregulated fibrinolysis, fibrinogen depletion, altered thrombin generation, and platelet dysfunction. Exogenous factors such as hypothermia, acidosis, hypokalemia, and dilution due to crystalloid and colloid fluid administration can further exacerbate TIC. Established TIC upon emergency room admission is a prognostic indicator and is strongly associated with poor outcomes. It has been shown that patients with TIC are prone to higher bleeding tendencies, increased requirements for allogeneic blood transfusion, higher complication rates such as multi-organ failure, and an almost fourfold increase in mortality. Thus, early recognition and individualized treatment of TIC is a cornerstone of initial trauma care. However, patients who survive the initial insult switch from hypocoagulability to hypercoagulability, also termed \"late TIC,\" with a high risk of developing thromboembolic complications.</p>","PeriodicalId":55074,"journal":{"name":"Hamostaseologie","volume":"44 1","pages":"31-39"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139991941","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}

Therefore, an increased understanding of underlying risk profiles, the identification of risk factors and predictive biomarkers, and ultimately the development of specific cardiovascular prevention strategies in patients with cancer is needed. Medical anticancer therapies have undergone a remarkable development in recent years with the advent of targeted and immunotherapeutic treatment options, including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies and bispecific T-cell engagers (BiTEs). These developments have important implications for the accompanied risk of thromboembolic events in patients with cancer. First, the increased use of these highly effective therapies renders a growing proportion of patients with cancer at risk of thromboembolic events for a prolonged risk period due to an increase in patient survival despite advanced cancer stages. Second, potential direct cardiovascular toxicity and prothrombotic effect of novel anticancer immunotherapies are a matter of ongoing debate, with emerging reports suggesting a relevant risk of VTE and ATE associated with ICI, and relevant dysregulations of hemostasis in the frequently observed cytokine-release syndrome associated with BiTEs and CAR T-cell therapy. The aim of the present narrative review is to summarize the implications of the emerging use of anticancer immunotherapy for thromboembolic events in patients with cancer, and to provide an overview of available data on the rates and risk factors for VTE and ATE associated with ICI, CAR T-cell therapy, and BiTEs.</p>","PeriodicalId":55074,"journal":{"name":"Hamostaseologie","volume":" ","pages":"40-48"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139405365","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}
