Anti-fibrinolytics for mucosal bleeding in adults with life-limiting illnesses: a systematic review.
Introduction: Patients with life-limiting illnesses are at increased risk of mucosal bleeding. Usual management includes anticipatory planning and sedation, alongside anti-fibrinolytics, despite a lack of evidence for their use. Anti-fibrinolytic agents (tranexamic acid and aminocaproic acid) produce effective haemostasis in different clinical settings. Our aim was to synthesise the evidence for anti-fibrinolytic medication use in adult patients with life-limiting illnesses at risk of, or experiencing, mucosal bleeding.
Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science Conference Proceedings Citation Index, Cochrane Library databases and clinical trial registries (inception to January 2024) to identify studies investigating the use of anti-fibrinolytics in patients with life-limiting illnesses. Results were screened against a priori inclusion criteria, data ere extracted, and quality was appraised using a CASP (Critical Appraisal Skills Programme) checklist or BMJ risk of bias assessment. Data were analysed using narrative synthesis.
Results: Five studies meeting our search criteria (one cohort and four case series) were included. Data relating from 87 patients were used in narrative synthesis. Anti-fibrinolytic therapy was used for active mucosal bleeding in 37 patients, of whom 30 achieved total bleeding cessation. Fifty patients received prophylactic anti-fibrinolytics, of whom 32 experienced no bleeding events. Adverse events were reported in 3 of 87 patients (arterial thrombus, severe thrombocytopenia and stomach cramps). Mortality and quality of life were not reported.
Conclusion: Anti-fibrinolytics are generally well tolerated within this population and may prevent and reduce mucosal bleeding. Further high-quality research is suggested to investigate current practice and to compare anti-fibrinolytic with placebo in the management of bleeding in patients with life-limiting illnesses.
期刊介绍:
Published quarterly in print and continuously online, BMJ Supportive & Palliative Care aims to connect many disciplines and specialties throughout the world by providing high quality, clinically relevant research, reviews, comment, information and news of international importance.
We hold an inclusive view of supportive and palliative care research and we are able to call on expertise to critique the whole range of methodologies within the subject, including those working in transitional research, clinical trials, epidemiology, behavioural sciences, ethics and health service research. Articles with relevance to clinical practice and clinical service development will be considered for publication.
In an international context, many different categories of clinician and healthcare workers do clinical work associated with palliative medicine, specialist or generalist palliative care, supportive care, psychosocial-oncology and end of life care. We wish to engage many specialties, not only those traditionally associated with supportive and palliative care. We hope to extend the readership to doctors, nurses, other healthcare workers and researchers in medical and surgical specialties, including but not limited to cardiology, gastroenterology, geriatrics, neurology, oncology, paediatrics, primary care, psychiatry, psychology, renal medicine, respiratory medicine.
