Frailty Rather Than Sonographic Muscle Measurement Predicts Outcome in Liver Cirrhosis. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle
ABSTRACT Background Sarcopenia and frailty are frequent in patients with liver cirrhosis and are associated with morbidity and mortality. Given the limitations of computed tomography (CT) for routine assessment of muscle loss and the need for practical bedside assessment, we aimed to compare sonographic muscle thickness measurement and the Clinical ...

Beyond Anticoagulant Exposure: Determinants of Mortality After Gastrointestinal Bleeding Across DOAC, Warfarin and Non‐Anticoagulated Patients

open access: yesAlimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Among 11,387 patients with acute gastrointestinal bleeding, overlap‐weighted analyses (n = 10,044) found no statistically significant association between direct oral anticoagulant or warfarin use and 30‐day or 1‐year mortality. Haemodynamic shock was associated with 30‐day mortality, whereas age and Internal Medicine ward admission were associated with

Comparison of point-of-care testing (POCT): i-STAT(®) international normalized ratio (INR) vs reference laboratory INR in pediatric patients undergoing major surgery

open access: yes, 2011
Background:  The aim of the study was to compare international normalized ratio (INR) results obtained by point-of-care testing (i-STAT® device) with the reference laboratory INR in children undergoing major surgery with expected significant blood loss.

A pro‐inflammatory cytokine signature characterises thrombotic antiphospholipid syndrome despite stable anticoagulation

open access: yesBritish Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Primary antiphospholipid syndrome comprises distinct inflammatory subgroups defined by cytokine profiling. A shared pro‐inflammatory signature is present across all patients, whereas arterial thrombosis demonstrates enhanced inflammatory activation compared with venous thrombosis, suggesting divergent pathogenic mechanisms and opportunities for ...

Safety of Lowering the Platelet Transfusion Threshold Before Central Venous Catheterisation in Patients With Haematological Diseases

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Central venous catheter (CVC) insertion is frequently required in patients with haematological diseases. Despite limited evidence, thrombocytopenia often prompts prophylactic platelet transfusion before catheterisation. Methods We conducted an observational before‐and‐after study including the first non‐tunnelled CVC insertion ...

False incoagulable PT-INR results in oral anticoagulant therapy

open access: yes, 2008
Reliability of PT-INR (prothrombin time-international normalized ratio) determination is an essential requirement for the effective and safe management of oral anticoagulant therapy (OAT).

A SNAKE BİTE CASE with EXTREMELY ELEVATED INTERNATİONAL NORMALİZED RATİO (INR)

open access: yes
International Normalized Ratio (INR), is a standard unit used to report the result of a protrombine time (PT) and primarily used to diagnose and manage bleeding diathesis, liver diseases, and monitoring people being treated with warfarin (an anti-clotting treatment). In this report, we described a rare snakebite case with high INR levels.
