Should we Test the Prothrombin Time in Anticoagulated Epistaxis Patients?

Allergy & Rhinology, 2013
Epistaxis is one of the most frequent emergencies in rhinology. Patients using anticoagulative medication are at increased risk for epistaxis. We evaluated the prothrombin time and the international normalized ratio (INR) in anticoagulated epistaxis ...

Circannual variations in the international normalized ratio (INR) among mechanical heart valve surgery patients on life-long warfarin

Journal of the Saudi Heart Association, 2018
Introduction: The aim of our study was to explore if there exists a circannual rhythm in INR as fluctuations in anti-coagulation can have serious consequences in patients with mechanical heart valve prosthesis.

Admission International Normalized Ratio and Acute Infarct Volume in Ischemic Stroke

, 2008
Objective: The level of anticoagulation at the time of stroke onset may influence the size, composition, and dissolution rate of the occlusive clot. We explored the relation between admission international normalized ratio (INR) and acute infarct volume ...

Butyrate ameliorates acute‐on‐chronic liver failure by regulating macrophage polarization

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Multi‐omics profiling identifies progressive microbiota‐metabolism‐immunity axis dysfunction in acute‐on‐chronic liver failure (ACLF), characterized by gut dysbiosis, reduced butyrate production, intestinal barrier disruption, microbial translocation, and pro‐inflammatory macrophage polarization, thereby exacerbating hepatic inflammation and fibrosis ...

A modified international normalized ratio as an effective way of prothrombin time standardization in hepatology.

, 2007
International Normalized Ratio (INR), which standardizes prothrombin time (PT) during oral anticoagulation, has been extended to standardize PT in liver diseases and is included in prognostic models such as the Model for End stage Liver Disease (MELD ...

Hepatic Encephalopathy and Age Were Assessed to Ameliorate the Underestimation of the Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease Score in Patients With Acute‐on‐Chronic Liver Failure

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that the model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD) score significantly underestimates 90‐day mortality in acute‐on‐chronic liver failure (ACLF) patients (AUC: 0.556) compared to non‐ACLF patients (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUC]: 0.848).

Using Labs Wisely: A collaboration between Choosing Wisely Canada and over 150 Canadian hospitals

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Many in‐hospital laboratory tests are unnecessary. Unnecessary testing is associated with patient harm, fiscal inefficiency, and environmental waste. Objectives In 2021, Choosing Wisely Canada launched the Using Labs Wisely (ULW) hospital collaborative to (1) build national expertise on reducing unnecessary testing, (2) share ...

Understanding and interpreting composite outcomes in clinical research

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Composite outcomes combine multiple endpoints into a single measure. They can capture overall treatment effects and increase statistical power, but have important interpretive challenges. Components of the outcome may vary in clinical importance, frequency, and treatment effect.
