ABSTRACT

Objective: To analyze the ultrasonic manifestations, clinical features, high risk factors and key points of pregnancy management in prenatal diagnosis of umbilical artery thrombosis (UAT). Methods: The data of 31 pregnant women of UAT diagnosed by prenatal ultrasonography and confirmed after birth from July 2017 to July 2022 at the Women's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine were retrospectively analyzed, including the maternal characteristics, pregnancy outcomes and fetal complications. In addition, the baseline data and pregnancy outcomes were compared in 21 patients who continued pregnancy after diagnosis of UAT. Of the 21 UAT cases that continued pregnancy, 10 cases were treated with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH; LMWH treatment group), while the other 11 patients had expectant treatment(expectant treatment group). Results: The age of the 31 pregnant women was (30.2±4.7) years, of which 5 cases (16%,5/31) were advanced age pregnant women. The gestational age at diagnosis was (32.9±4.0) weeks, and the gestational age at termination of pregnancy was (35.6±2.9) weeks. In 31 fetuses with UAT, 15 cases (48%) had fetal distress, 11 cases (35%) had fetal growth restriction, and 3 cases (10%) had intrauterine stillbirth. There were 28 cases of live births, including 26 cases by cesarean section and 2 cases by vaginal delivery. There were also 3 stillbirths, all delivered vaginally. Four neonates had mild asphyxia and two newborns had severe asphyxia. Among the 31 cases, 10 cases were terminated immediately after diagnosis, the gestational age at diagnosis was (35.9±2.9) weeks. Another 21 pregnancies continued, and their gestational age at diagnosis was (31.4±3.7) weeks. The median prolonged gestational age in LMWH treatment group was 7.9 weeks (4.6-9.4 weeks), and all were live births. The median prolonged gestational age in the expectant treatment group was 0.6 weeks (0.0-1.0 weeks), and 2 cases were stillbirths. There was a statistically significant difference in prolonged gestational age (P=0.002). Conclusions: Ultrasound is the preferred method for prenatal detection of UAT. Clinicians need to be vigilant for UAT when a newly identified single umbilical artery is detected by ultrasound in the second or third trimesters. The decision to continue or terminate the pregnancy depends on the gestational age and the condition of fetus. Attention should be paid to fetal movements as the pregnancy continues. The treatment of LMWH as soon as possible after diagnosis of UAT may improve the pregnancy outcome.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The intensity of the thromboprophylaxis needed as a potential factor for preventing inpatient mortality due to coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To explore the association between anticoagulation intensity and COVID-19 survival. DESIGN AND SETTING: Retrospective observational study in a tertiary-level hospital in Spain. METHODS: Low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) status was ascertained based on prescription at admission. To control for immortal time bias, anticoagulant use was analyzed as a time-dependent variable. RESULTS: 690 patients were included (median age, 72 years). LMWH was administered to 615 patients, starting from hospital admission (89.1%). 410 (66.7%) received prophylactic-dose LMWH; 120 (19.5%), therapeutic-dose LMWH; and another 85 (13.8%) who presented respiratory failure, high D-dimer levels (> 3 mg/l) and non-worsening of inflammation markers received prophylaxis of intermediate-dose LMWH. The overall inpatient-mortality rate was 38.5%. The anticoagulant nonuser group presented higher mortality risk than each of the following groups: any LMWH users (HR 2.1; 95% CI: 1.40-3.15); the prophylactic-dose heparin group (HR 2.39; 95% CI, 1.57-3.64); and the users of heparin dose according to biomarkers (HR 6.52; 95% CI, 2.95-14.41). 3.4% of the patients experienced major hemorrhage. 2.8% of the patients developed an episode of thromboembolism. CONCLUSIONS: This observational study showed that LMWH administered at the time of admission was associated with lower mortality among unselected adult COVID-19 inpatients. The magnitude of the benefit may have been greatest for the intermediate-dose subgroup. Randomized controlled trials to assess the benefit of heparin within different therapeutic regimes for COVID-19 patients are required.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND@#Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) remains a serious health threat worldwide. We aimed to investigate whether low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) can promote organ function recovery in moderate Covid-19 pneumonia patients.@*METHODS@#We initiated an LMWH protocol in Covid-19 patients with increased D-dimer, body mass index >30 kg/m2 or a history of diabetes from January 18, 2020 at Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center. In this retrospective study, we assigned moderate Covid- 19 pneumonia patients admitted between January 18th and April 18, 2020 receiving the LMWH protocol to the LMWH group. Moderate patients who met the inclusion criteria but did not receive LMWH protocol were included in the control group by 1:2 propensity score matching. General clinical information, indicators for renal function, arterial blood gas analyses, arterial blood lactic acid content (mmol/L), and coagulation indexes at 0 day, 3 days, 7 days, and 11 days after admission were recorded and compared between the two groups.@*RESULTS@#There were 41 patients in the LMWH group and 82 patients in the control group. General information in both groups were similar. Compared to the control group, the arterial blood lactic acid content (mmol/L) at day 11 (1.3 [1.1, 1.7] vs. 1.2 [0.9, 1.3], P = 0.016) was reduced in the LMWH group. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in the LMWH group was higher than that in the control group at day 7 (108.54 [89.11, 128.17] vs. 116.85 [103.39, 133.47], P = 0.039) and day 11 (113.74 [94.49, 126.34] vs. 128.31 [112.75, 144, 12], P  = 0.003). The serum creatinine levels (Scr) in the LMWH group were lower than that in the control group at day 7 (62.13 [51.47, 77.64] vs. 55.49 [49.50, 65.75], P = 0.038) and day 11 (63.35 [50.17, 75.73] vs. 51.62 [44.62, 61.24], P = 0.005).@*CONCLUSIONS@#LMWH treatment can reduce arterial blood lactic acid levels and improve eGFR in moderate Covid-19 pneumonia patients. Randomized controlled trials are warranted to further investigate this issue.@*TRIAL REGISTRATION@#ChiCTR.org.cn, ChiCTR2000034796.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the efficacy of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prevention among real-world surgical inpatients who received panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) combined with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH).@*METHODS@#A prospective cohort study was conducted among surgical patients between January 2016 and November 2018 in Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China. Participants received LMWH alone or PNS combined with LMWH for preventing DVT. The primary outcome was incidence of lower extremity DVT, which was screened once a week. Participants in the LMWH group were given LMWH (enoxaparin) via hypodermic injection, 4000-8000 AxalU once daily. Participants in the exposure group received PNS (Xuesaitong oral tablets, 100 mg, 3 times daily) combined with LMWH given the same as LMWH group.@*RESULTS@#Of the 325 patients screened for the study, 281 participants were included in the final analysis. The cohort was divided into PNS + LMWH group and LMWH group with 134 and 147 participants, respectively. There was a significant difference of DVT incidence between two groups (P=0.01), with 21 (15.7%) incident DVT in the PNS + LMWH group, and 41 (27.9%) incident DVT in the LMWH group. Compared with participants without DVT, the participants diagnosed with DVT were older and had higher D-dimer level. The multivariate logistic regression model showed a significant lower risk of incident DVT among participants in the PNS + LMWH group compared with the LMWH group (odds ratio 0.46, 95% confidence interval, 0.25-0.86). There were no significant differences in thromboelaslography values (including R, K, Angle, and MA) and differences in severe bleeding between two groups. No symptomatic pulmonary embolism occurred during the study.@*CONCLUSION@#Combined application of PNS and LMWH can effectively reduce the incidence of DVT among surgical inpatients compared with LMWH monotherapy, without increased risk of bleeding.

ABSTRACT

ACTUALIZACIÓN AL 26 DE JUNIO DE 2020: Desde la última actualización del presente reporte breve (20 de mayo de 2020) hasta el momento actual, se sigue difundiendo información en medios internacionales acerca de nuevos resultados de investigaciones sobre el uso de anticoagulantes parenterales en pacientes con COVID-19. En tal sentido, como parte de los reportes breves que viene publicando el IETSI, es necesario actualizar y revisar la evidencia disponible del uso de anticoagulantes parenterales, como las heparinas de bajo peso molecular (HBPM), en pacientes con COVID-19, sea como tratamiento o profilaxis en cualquier contexto clínico de la enfermedad (ambulatorio, hospitalario y/o la UCI). Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica rápida de la literatura (hasta el 26 de junio de 2020) en relación a la eficacia y seguridad del tratamiento anticoagulante en el tratamiento de pacientes adultos con COVID-19. Se debe precisar que, debido a la velocidad con la que se genera información sobre COVID-19 y el desfase entre la publicación de los artículos científicos y su indización en bases de datos, es posible que algunos estudios publicados no hayan podido ser identificados en versiones previas del documento. Por ello, para la búsqueda de nueva evidencia, no se consideró restricciones respecto a la fecha de publicación de los documentos. METODOLOGÍA: Se llevó a cabo una búsqueda sistemática en MEDLINE a través de PubMed, en Cochrane Library, LILACS y en los repositorios de preimpresiones de publicaciones científicas medRxiv (medrxiv.org) y bioRxiv (bioRxiv.org). Asimismo, se realizó una búsqueda manual en las páginas web de instituciones líderes en salud e investigación como la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH), Institut für Qualität und Wirtschaftlichkeit im Gesundheitswesen (IQWiG), sociedad de especialistas internacionales, entre otras. Adicionalmente, se buscaron ensayos clínicos en desarrollo relacionados al tema en las páginas web de registros de estudios clínicos del National Institutes of Health de los Estados Unidos (NIH) (www.clinicaltrials.gov), OMS (http://apps.who.int/trialsearch) y el registro de ensayos clínicos de China (http://www.chictr.org.cn). Para finalizar, se revisaron las referencias bibliográficas de los estudios previamente seleccionados; con la finalidad de encontrar documentos de relevancia para la presente revisión. A la fecha, no se dispone de ensayos clínicos que evalúen la eficacia y seguridad de los anticoagulantes en pacientes con COVID-19. Para este rporte breve, se identificaron 09 nuevos documentos (06 estudios observacionales [incluyendo una prepublicación] y 03 guías de práctica clínica) sobre el uso de anticoagulantes parenterales en el tratamiento o profilaxis de pacientes con COVID-19. Adicionalmente, en la página web del NIH (www.clinicaltrials.gov) se identificó un nuevo registro sobre un ensayo clínico fase III (respecto a los reportados anteriormente en versiones previas de este documento) que a la fecha viene reclutando participantes. El objetivo de este ensayo clínico es evaluar el empleo de rivaroxaban, comparado con heparina de bajo peso molecular (HBPM), en pacientes con presentación grave de COVID-19 (registrado el 04 de junio de 2020). ANÁLISIS: A la fecha 26 de junio, no existe evidencia publicada en bases de datos internacionales generada a partir de ensayos clínicos aleatorizados que permitan evaluar la eficacia y seguridad de los anticoagulantes para la profilaxis o el tratamiento de pacientes con COVID-19. Desde la última versión de este reporte breve, se han publicado seis estudios observacionales retrospectivos (uno de ellos es una preimpresión) sobre el uso terapéutico o profiláctico de los anticoagulantes en pacientes con COVID-19. Respecto a lo reportado en estos estudios, los resultados son contradictorios sobre el beneficio del uso de anticoagulantes en la reducción de muertes o formas graves de COVID-19 con el empleo. Además, se observa una alta incidencia de eventos trombóticos a pesar de uso de profilaxis antitrombótica. Dada su naturaleza retrospectiva, estos estudios presentan limitaciones metodológicas que limitan concluir el efecto de los anticoagulantes en la población de interés (pacientes con COVID-19). CONCLUSIONES (VERSIÓN 26 DE JUNIO DE 2020): A la fecha 26 de junio de 2020, no se dispone de evidencia científica generada en ensayos clínicos aleatorizados sobre la eficacia y seguridad de la anticoagulación parenteral en pacientes con COVID-19. La evidencia disponible a la actualidad en torno al uso de anticoagulantes parenterales en pacientes con COVID-19 proviene únicamente de estudios observacionales retrospectivos que presentan diversas limitaciones metodológicas, lo que no permite una evaluación objetiva de la eficacia y seguridad de los anticoagulantes en pacientes con COVID-19, así como resultados contradictorios respecto a su potencial beneficio. Las recomendaciones realizadas en las GPC identificadas se sustentan principalmente en estudios realizados en población de pacientes hospitalizados en general y no en pacientes con COVID-19. Con ello, en base a lo descrito, la evidencia disponible hasta la fecha (26 de junio), las limitaciones metodológicas de los estudios observacionales retrospectivos disponibles a la actualidad, así como la falta de evidencia generada a partir de ensayos clínicos aleatorizados sobre la eficacia y seguridad de anticoagulantes en pacientes con COVID19, el IETSI mantiene la conclusión señalada en la versión previa de este documento, la que señala que no es posible justificar una recomendación a favor del uso de anticoagulantes en pacientes con COVID-19. Es menester permanecer atentos a los resultados de los ensayos clínicos actualmente en curso.

ABSTRACT

Recurrent spontaneous abortion is one of the common complications in women of childbearing age during pregnancy. The immune factor accounts for a large proportion of many causes. Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome is the most common type of acquired thrombophilia disease. Autoimmune diseases that cause thrombosis and obstetric complications under the action of antibodies are also the most common type of immune-related recurrent abortion. At present, there is no unified opinion on the treatment of this disease, especially the treatment of immunoglobulins and other drugs like glucocorticoid. Here we reviewed the progress of diagnosis and treatment of antiphospholipid antibody-related recurrent abortions and retrospectively analyzed and summarized the drug regimens and pregnancy outcomes of this disease with pregnancy patients in our hospital. A total of 75 patients were included. According to their clinical manifestations and laboratory results, these patients were basically divided into two categories: classical antiphospholipid syndrome and non-classical antiphospholipid syndrome. The latter was further divided into serum-negative antiphospholipid syndrome and antiphospholipid antibody-related recurrent abortion patients based on their clinical manifestations and antiphospholipid antibody results. The patients were divided into four categories: aspirin + hydroxychloroquine, aspirin + low molecular weight heparin, aspirin + low molecular weight heparin + hydroxychloroquine, aspirin + hydroxychloroquine + low molecular weight heparin + low dose glucocorticoids. Among them, aspirin + hydroxychloroquine + low molecular weight heparin + low dose glucocorticoid treatment regimen was most commonly used. Most of the patients who received the above different treatment regimens achieved full-term infants, and a small number of patients had adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as premature delivery, placental abruption, eclampsia, and fetal malformation. And adverse pregnancy outcomes also occurred in this group. It might be related to the severity of the disease and the potential adverse effects of maternal fetal. However, further statistical analysis is needed for the risk factors affecting the pregnancy outcome of this part of patients.

ABSTRACT

En la actualidad, muchos pacientes con fibrilación auricular son anticoagulados por largos períodos. Durante este tiempo pueden ser sometidos a procedimientos invasivos. A partir de una viñeta clínica, un médico se plantea el impacto de utilizar o no heparina de bajo peso molecular como puente farmacológico al momento de suspender la anticoagulación oral. Luego de realizar una búsqueda ad hoc, un ensayo clínico aleatorizado de no inferioridad demuestra que en pacientes con fibrilación auricular, con puntajes de riesgo tromboembólico (CHADS2) intermedios a bajos que requieren una interrupción temporal del tratamiento con warfarina para un procedimiento invasivo electivo, la estrategia de no reemplazar la anticoagulación oral con heparina de bajo peso molecular no resultó inferior (o menos efectiva) para la prevención de tromboembolismo arterial, y disminuyó además el riesgo de sangrado mayor en comparación al uso de un puente con esta medicación. (AU)


Many patients with atrial fibrillation are anticoagulated for long periods. During this time they may be subjected to invasive procedures. From a clinical vignette, a physician discusses the impact of using (or not) low molecular weight heparin as a pharmacological bridge at the time of suspending oral anticoagulation. After conducting a bibliographic search, a no inferiority randomized clinical trial showed that in patients with atrial fibrillation with intermediate to low thromboembolic risk (CHADS2) requiring a temporary interruption of warfarin therapy for an elective invasive procedure, the strategy of with holding low molecular weight heparin bridging was not inferior (or less effective) for the prevention of arterial thromboembolism than its use, also decreasing the risk of major bleeding.

ABSTRACT

Durante la niñez, la tromboembolia pulmonar (TEP) es una afección poco frecuente, aunque potencialmente mortal. El mayor número de episodios de tromboemblia venosa (TEV) es resultado de complicaciones de factores de riesgo subyacentes, tales como tumores malignos, quimioterapia (L-asparaginasa) y colocación de un catéter venoso central. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con leucemia linfocítica aguda y TEP que tuvo un presíncope y fue tratado satisfactoriamente con heparina de bajo peso molecular y antagonistas del calcio.


In childhood, pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is an uncommonbut potentially life-threatening disease. The greater numbers of venous thromboembolism (VTE) are complications of underlying risk factors such as malignancies, chemotherapy (L-asparaginase), and central venous catheter. We report a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and PTE, who presented with near-syncope, and was successfully treated with low molecular weight heparin and calcium channel blockers.
