Direct Oral Anticoagulant Dotaz Zobrazit nápovědu
OBJECTIVE: To compare the neuroimaging profile and clinical outcomes among patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) related to use of vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) or direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). METHODS: We evaluated consecutive patients with NVAF with nontraumatic, anticoagulant-related ICH admitted at 13 tertiary stroke care centers over a 12-month period. We also performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of eligible observational studies reporting baseline characteristics and outcomes among patients with VKA- or DOAC-related ICH. RESULTS: We prospectively evaluated 161 patients with anticoagulation-related ICH (mean age 75.6 ± 9.8 years, 57.8% men, median admission NIH Stroke Scale [NIHSSadm] score 13 points, interquartile range 6-21). DOAC-related (n = 47) and VKA-related (n = 114) ICH did not differ in demographics, vascular risk factors, HAS-BLED and CHA2DS2-VASc scores, and antiplatelet pretreatment except for a higher prevalence of chronic kidney disease in VKA-related ICH. Patients with DOAC-related ICH had lower median NIHSSadm scores (8 [3-14] vs 15 [7-25] points, p = 0.003), median baseline hematoma volume (12.8 [4-40] vs 24.3 [11-58.8] cm3, p = 0.007), and median ICH score (1 [0-2] vs 2 [1-3] points, p = 0.049). Severe ICH (>2 points) was less prevalent in DOAC-related ICH (17.0% vs 36.8%, p = 0.013). In multivariable analyses, DOAC-related ICH was independently associated with lower baseline hematoma volume (p = 0.006), lower NIHSSadm scores (p = 0.022), and lower likelihood of severe ICH (odds ratio [OR] 0.34, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.13-0.87, p = 0.025). In meta-analysis of eligible studies, DOAC-related ICH was associated with lower baseline hematoma volumes on admission CT (standardized mean difference = -0.57, 95% CI -1.02 to -0.12, p = 0.010) and lower in-hospital mortality rates (OR = 0.44, 95% CI 0.21-0.91, p = 0.030). CONCLUSIONS: DOAC-related ICH is associated with smaller baseline hematoma volume and lesser neurologic deficit at hospital admission compared to VKA-related ICH.

Direct oral anticoagulants are an alternative to anticoagulants based on vitamin K antagonists. Monitoring of direct oral anticoagulant concentration levels is necessary in specific cases (e.g. in emergency conditions, for determination of the cause of bleeding, adverse effects, risk of drug-direct oral anticoagulants interaction); therefore, a sensitive and specific method is needed. A methanol protein precipitation method followed by liquid chromatography with high-resolution mass spectrometry was developed for simultaneous separation and determination of apixaban, betrixaban, edoxaban, dabigatran, rivaroxaban and ximelagatran. The proposed method was fully validated in terms of linearity, the limits of detection and quantification, intra- and inter-day trueness and precision, recovery, matrix effect, process efficiency and stability. The method shows a strong correlation (Pearson's correlation coefficients > 0.92) with coagulation assays of apixaban, dabigatran and rivaroxaban (dilute thrombin time for gatrans and anti Xa factor (anti-Xa) activity for xabans). In addition, the developed method was applied for the identification and determination of apixaban and dabigatran in post-mortem serum samples. The developed method is a good alternative to coagulation tests which may show various interferences.

In recent years the options of anticoagulant/antithrombotic therapy have extended with new - direct oral anticoagulants, comprising direct thrombin inhibitors (dabigatran etexilate) and direct factor Xa inhibitors (rivaroxaban, apixaban). These agents represent another progress towards "the ideal antithrombotic drug", and thus towards a safe and effective antithrombotic therapy. The following article provides actual review and recommendations for clinical practice, including laboratory assessment and management of emergency situations. The approval of idarucizumab as a specific antidote for dabigatran has marked an important step in safety of this treatment.Key words: apixaban - dabigatran - DOAC - NOAC - rivaroxaban.

Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are increasingly used and are an important cornerstone in antithrombotic therapy. Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) such as bleedings have only partially been investigated during clinical trials. The primary goal was to analyse pharmacovigilance data based on spontaneous reports of gastrointestinal (GI) bleedings with DOACs reported to EudraVigilance. A second goal was to compare GI safety profiles between DOACs based on these signals. All DOAC related GI bleedings mentioned in individual case safety reports (ICSRs) from 2012 till 2017 in the European Economic Area were classified in four GI categories based on the reported site of occurrence of the haemorrhage. Age group and gender of the patient, seriousness and ADR outcome, and the reporter's qualification were assessed per category and per DOAC. Disproportionality analyses were performed to evaluate whether or not the reported ADRs were more prevalent with a given DOAC. ICSRs were bleeding-related in about half of the cases (n = 28,992/53,471). Of these bleedings, >25% was GI-related. Most patients experiencing GI bleedings were between 65 and 85 years old, with no obvious differences between men and women. Stomach, ulcer-related duodenal, and rectal bleedings were the most reported GI bleedings with a fatal outcome in 5.8%, 7.5%, and 9.8% of the cases for rivaroxaban, apixaban, and dabigatran, respectively. The disproportionality data suggest that dabigatran is more frequently involved in GI bleeding events than the other DOACs. DOACs were significantly associated with GI bleedings. Although the data should be interpreted with caution, it seems that dabigatran was associated more often than other DOACs with GI bleedings based on the analysis of spontaneous pharmacovigilance reports.

Relation between oncological diseases and venous thrombo-embolism (VTE) is well known for almost 2 centuries. In 1823 Bouillaud assumed by three patients with tumor and recent deep vein thrombosis (DVT), that peripheral edema of lower limbs emerges as a result of „obturation“ of veins by „fibrinous coagulum“ (caillot fibrineux), which was induced by oncological disease. French physician Armand Trousseau wrote about this relation in his book „Phlegmasia alba dolens” again in the year 1865. Many studies were developed in times of Bouillaud a Trousseau, which just confirmed existence of relation between tumor and VTE. Oncological disease presents a significant risk factor of formation of VTE. Recent references favorising the use of light molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in long-term anticoagulation therapy of patients with cancer. Recently we have just few clinical data about efficiency and safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in oncological patients, however many meta-analysis of clinical studies has shown benefit of therapy with DOACs towards conventional therapy. Key words: direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) - oncology - venous thromboembolism.

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is noninferior to vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) for preventing atrial fibrillation (AF)-related stroke. However, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have an improved safety profile over VKAs, and their effect on cardiovascular and neurological outcomes relative to LAAC is unknown. OBJECTIVES: This study sought to compare DOACs with LAAC in high-risk patients with AF. METHODS: Left Atrial Appendage Closure vs. Novel Anticoagulation Agents in Atrial Fibrillation (PRAGUE-17) was a multicenter, randomized, noninferiority trial comparing LAAC with DOACs. Patients were eligible to be enrolled if they had nonvalvular AF; were indicated for oral anticoagulation (OAC); and had a history of bleeding requiring intervention or hospitalization, a history of a cardioembolic event while taking an OAC, and/or a CHA2DS2-VASc of ≥3 and HAS-BLED of >2. Patients were randomized to receive LAAC or DOAC. The primary composite outcome was stroke, transient ischemic attack, systemic embolism, cardiovascular death, major or nonmajor clinically relevant bleeding, or procedure-/device-related complications. The primary analysis was by modified intention to treat. RESULTS: A high-risk patient cohort (CHA2DS2-VASc: 4.7 ± 1.5) was randomized to receive LAAC (n = 201) or DOAC (n = 201). LAAC was successful in 181 of 201 (90.0%) patients. In the DOAC group, apixaban was most frequently used (192 of 201; 95.5%). At a median 19.9 months of follow-up, the annual rates of the primary outcome were 10.99% with LAAC and 13.42% with DOAC (subdistribution hazard ratio [sHR]: 0.84; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.53 to 1.31; p = 0.44; p = 0.004 for noninferiority). There were no differences between groups for the components of the composite endpoint: all-stroke/TIA (sHR: 1.00; 95% CI: 0.40 to 2.51), clinically significant bleeding (sHR: 0.81; 95% CI: 0.44 to 1.52), and cardiovascular death (sHR: 0.75; 95% CI: 0.34 to 1.62). Major LAAC-related complications occurred in 9 (4.5%) patients. CONCLUSIONS: Among patients at high risk for stroke and increased risk of bleeding, LAAC was noninferior to DOAC in preventing major AF-related cardiovascular, neurological, and bleeding events.

BACKGROUND: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a frequent cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with cancer. Moreover, management of VTE is frequently connected with complications, namely risk of recurrent VTE and bleeding. Low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) therapy administrated for 3-6 months is currently considered a standard for the treatment of cancer-associated VTE (CA-VTE). Direct oral factor Xa inhibitors (FXaI) apixaban, edoxaban and rivaroxaban have emerged as a new possibility for long-term antithrombotic therapy for VTE. These agents expose several advantages in individuals with cancer, and might overcome several disadvantages connected with LMWH therapy. PURPOSE: First clinical studies with oral FXaI for the treatment of CA-VTE with very promising results were recently published. The article summarizes current data regarding the use of oral FXaI in the treatment of CA-VTE.

Background Oral anticoagulants are established drugs of choice for the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic events. However, monitoring their safety remains warranted. Objective The aim was to analyze spontaneous reports of adverse drug reactions related to oral anticoagulants in the Czech Republic. Setting Retrospective observational pharmacovigilance study. Methods Adverse drug reaction reports were obtained from the State Institute for Drug Control between January 2005 and November 2017. Reports related to warfarin, dabigatran, apixaban, and rivaroxaban received from healthcare professionals and patients were analyzed. Main outcome measure Frequency and nature of adverse drug reactions reported to oral anticoagulants. Results In total, 297 reports containing 672 adverse drug reactions were received; 269 reports were sent by healthcare professionals (85% by physicians). In 65% of all reports, reactions were due to direct oral anticoagulants. A higher total number of adverse drug reactions was associated with direct oral anticoagulants than with warfarin [reporting odds ratio (ROR): 10.76; confidence interval (CI): 8.70-13.32; p < 0.001]. Along with the increasing utilization of direct oral anticoagulants, the reporting rate gradually declined over time, especially for rivaroxaban and apixaban. Fatal outcomes were reported in 7%, mostly for dabigatran. Hemorrhagic reactions were the most frequently reported adverse drug reactions (37% associated with dabigatran, 28% with apixaban, 24% with warfarin, and 23% with rivaroxaban), and compared to warfarin, they were significantly more often associated with direct oral anticoagulants (ROR: 14.36; CI: 9.57-21.54; p < 0.001). Conclusion The number of adverse drug reaction reports related to oral anticoagulants in the Czech Republic was relatively low, compared to other studies, but 96% of the cases were serious. Data from spontaneous adverse drug reactions reporting should be further analyzed in order to obtain additional information on the safety profile of oral anticoagulants.

UNLABELLED: Direct oral anticoagulants from the perspective of Czech pharmacists - opinions, attitudes, confidence, and patient education during dispensing in a pharmacy Introduction and Aim: Pharmacists play an important role in the management of anticoagulation therapy, therefore good knowledge and confidence in care of patients treated with anticoagulation are essential. The aim of this study was to analyse the opinions and attitudes of pharmacists in the Czech Republic towards direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), their perception of the benefits and risks of DOACs, and the position of pharmacists in educating patients about the basic principles of DOAC treatment in the context of dispensing these medicines in pharmacies. METHODS: An online anonymous questionnaire survey conducted in 2021 among pharmacists of three specific District Pharmacists Associations of the Czech Chamber of Pharmacy. The questionnaire included 32 open- and closed-ended questions, and questions for reporting of the level of agreement using a Likert scale. Descriptive statistics, parametric and non-parametric tests were used to evaluate the data. RESULTS: A total of 162 pharmacists participated (14% return rate), 139 of whom dispensed medicines in a pharmacy in the last year. Respondents working in pharmacies located in any health centre and in hospital pharmacies reported dispensing DOACs more frequently (p < 0.001). The majority of respondents (73%) felt completely or rather confident in providing expert information regarding DOACs. Higher confidence was associated with respondents working in hospital pharmacies or pharmacies located in health centres (p < 0.05), working in clinical pharmacy wards (p < 0.05) and being more likely to dispense DOACs in the pharmacy (p < 0.001). Higher confidence was related to the areas pharmacists discussed with patients during DOAC dispensing, e.g., reasons for using DOACs or how to administer. CONCLUSION: The frequency of dispensing DOACs, type of pharmacy, and working as clinical pharmacist influenced respondents' confidence towards DOACs. Confidence may have influenced the course of DOAC dispensing in the pharmacy. Consolidating the pharmacist's position in patient education during DOAC treatment and strengthening pharmacists' confidence in dispensing DOACs should be therefore considered.
