Short-term prognosis of breakthrough venous thromboembolism in anticoagulated patients

Short-term prognosis of definitive neonatal infection

Venous thromboembolism predicts poor prognosis in irresectable pancreatic cancer patients.

BACKGROUND The aim was to investigate the outcomes associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE) among irresectable pancreatic cancer patients. METHODS This is a follow-up study of consecutive irresectable cancer patients, treated and followed up in clinical trials between December 2001 and December 2004 in order to evaluate the prognostic impact of symptomatic VTE on clinical outcomes, such a...

Prognosis of cancers associated with venous thromboembolism.

BACKGROUND Little is known about the prognosis of cancer discovered during or after an episode of venous thromboembolism. METHODS We linked the Danish National Registry of Patients, the Danish Cancer Registry, and the Danish Mortality Files to obtain data on the survival of patients who received a diagnosis of cancer at the same time as or after an episode of venous thromboembolism. Their sur...

Venous Thromboembolism Following Travel

International travel has become increasingly common and accessible, hence, about two billion passengers undertake international and domestic air travel each year. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious public health disorder which may occur following prolonged travel, especially after air travel. A direct relation between VTE development and prolonged travels has been documented, while some ...

Long-term management of patients after venous thromboembolism.

Long-term treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) focuses mainly on the duration of anticoagulant therapy, usually with vitamin K (VK) antagonists. The duration of therapy should be individualized based on the risk of recurrent VTE if treatment were stopped and the risk of bleeding if treatment were continued. The risk of recurrence is low if thrombosis was provoked by a major reversible risk...
