Several VTE risk factors (eg, cancer, plaster casts, hormone replacement therapy, oral contraceptives, and pregnancy) multiplicatively increase the risk of air travel–related VTE.162 For example, pregnant women who traveled by air had an odds ratio (OR) for VTE of 14.3 (95% CI, 1.7-121.0) compared with an OR of 4.3 (95%, 0.9-19.8) associated with pregnancy alone.164 Women who traveled by air while using oral contraceptives had an 8.2-fold (95% CI, 2.3-28.7) elevated risk for VTE compared with nontravelers who were not on contraceptives, whereas the risk with oral contraceptives alone was increased 2.5-fold (95% CI, 0.9-7.0).162. 0000004189 00000 n
Most individuals in this situation would want the recommended course of action, and only a small proportion would not. Distal DVT’s are not usually treated, but GPs can use discretion , ideally involving the patient in the decision -making on management, and may choose either A or B: A: No initial anticoagulation treatment but a repeat funded Acute Demand scan after 5 - 8 days. UHL Guideline for Treatment of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE) in adults, with Direct Oral Anti-Coagulants Trust Ref B11/2018 1.Introduction and Who Guideline applies to The introduction of the Direct Oral Anti-Coagulants (DOACs) represents a major change in … The panel’s work was done using Web-based tools (https://www.surveymonkey.com and https://gradepro.org) and face-to-face and online meetings. DVT AND PE ANTICOAGULATION MANAGEMENT thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and/or CHEST guidelines support the use of the PE severity index (PESI) to identify These guidelines were issued in 2013 and will be reviewed in 2017 or sooner if new evidence To provide guidance in preventing venous thromboembolism. In absolute and relative terms, mechanical prophylaxis may reduce mortality, PE, and DVT, but the estimates are very uncertain (for mortality the RR was 0.50; 95% CI, 0.05-5.30; ARR, 4 fewer per 1000; 95% CI, from 8 fewer to 34 more per 1000; for PE the RR was 0.35; 95% CI, 0.05-2.22; ARR, 1 fewer per 1000; 95% CI, from 1 fewer to 1 more per 1000; for proximal DVT the RR was 0.13; 95% CI, 0.04-0.40; ARR, 2 fewer per 1000; 95% CI, 1-2 fewer per 1000; for distal DVT the RR was 0.21; 95% CI, 0.02-1.76; ARR, 6 fewer per 1000; 95% CI, from 7 fewer to 5 more per 1000). Formal decision aids are not likely to be needed to help individual patients make decisions consistent with their values and preferences. 0000040419 00000 n
In acutely ill hospitalized medical patients, the ASH guideline panel recommends using LMWH over DOACs for VTE prophylaxis (strong recommendation, moderate certainty in the evidence of effects ⊕⊕⊕◯). For VTE, there were important relative effects but small absolute effects. The panel did not identify high-priority future research questions. Three reports compared the cost-effectiveness of LMWH compared with no heparin in medical patients and showed favorable cost-effectiveness of enoxaparin.90-92 Although the panel assumed no impact on health equity, the use of any parenteral anticoagulant (UFH, LMWH, and fondaparinux) was considered acceptable and feasible. In critically ill medical patients, the ASH guideline panel suggests using LMWH over UFH (conditional recommendation, moderate certainty in the evidence of effects ⊕⊕⊕◯). %PDF-1.5

The ultimate judgment regarding any specific clinical procedure or treatment must be made by the physician in light of the circumstances presented by the patient. As science advances and new evidence becomes available, recommendations may become outdated. They may also be used by patients.

The guideline panel determined that there was moderate certainty in the evidence that the desirable effects of heparin (UFH or LMWH) outweigh the undesirable effects in critically ill medical patients. Compared with LMWH, DOACs are probably acceptable and definitely feasible. ASH does not warrant or guarantee any products described in these guidelines. For questions addressing mechanical approaches to VTE prophylaxis, we defined mechanical prophylaxis broadly as including pneumatic compression devices or graduated compression stockings. Resources for implementing these guidelines, including apps, patient decision aids, and teaching slide sets, may be accessed at the ASH Web page hematology.org/vte. Catheter-related DVT. However, inclusion of asymptomatic VTE in our analysis would not have changed interpretation of the relative effects of treatment. For VTE, the RR was 1.98 (95% CI, 0.60-6.58). These guidelines are intended to support patients, clinicians, and health care professionals in VTE diagnosis. We did not identify trials that directly addressed this question. The panel agreed on the recommendations (including direction and strength), remarks, and qualifications by consensus or, in rare instances, by voting (an 80% majority was required for a strong recommendation), based on the balance of all desirable and undesirable consequences. The EtD frameworks are shown at https://dbep.gradepro.org/profile/684ECAB2-2D90-B610-94A8-00BED6FC63FE (for Recommendation 11) and https://dbep.gradepro.org/profile/200AE04A-D3F5-16AC-BEFE-A9E99C2A3900 (for Recommendation 12). Two studies reported the effect of treatment on mortality,115,117 and all 3 studies reported outcomes of any PE and any DVT (it was not specified whether symptomatic or asymptomatic DVT or whether proximal or distal DVT). 0000006671 00000 n
The ASH panel also specifically recommended against prophylaxis in outpatients with minor provoking factors for VTE. The panel assumed that avoidance of death, PE, DVT, and major bleeding was critical to patients. Critically ill patients were defined as suffering from an immediately life-threatening condition admitted to an intensive or critical care unit. contributed evidence summaries to the guidelines; and W.W. checked the manuscript accuracy and coordinated the systematic review team with R.N. February 2017; DOI: 10.36290/int.2017.002. The guideline panel also explicitly took into account the extent of resource use associated with alternative management options.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines released in 2018 addressed VTE prevention in all hospitalized patients.172 For medical patients, they addressed specific subgroups separately: acute coronary syndrome, stroke, medical, renal impairment, cancer, palliative care, critically ill, and psychiatry patients. Remark: This recommendation applies to heparin and DOACs. For PE, this resulted in an ARI of 1 more per 1000 (95% CI, 0-6 more per 1000) using a baseline risk of 0.1%. For symptomatic DVT, the RR was 2.20 (95% CI, 0.22-22.1). This is similar to the ASH guidelines, although the recommendations were not specifically keyed to bleeding risk but to persons at risk who are not receiving pharmacological prophylaxis. The panel prioritized symptomatic over asymptomatic VTE, and the latter were included in the trial end points. Importantly, none of the existing validated quantitative RAMs proposed for clinical use in this setting have undergone extensive impact analyses that shows their use leads to a reduction in clinical outcomes. For mortality, the RR was 0.43 (95% CI, 0.14-1.31), and the ARR was 119 fewer per 1000 (180 fewer to 65 more per 1000). form of treatment. Medical inpatients, long-term care residents, persons with minor injuries, and long-distance travelers are at increased risk. Therefore, the guideline panel decided to include indirect evidence from RCTs in trauma patients, for which we identified a systematic review.123 Our update of that systematic review did not identify any eligible additional studies. OBJECTIVE: To provide an evidence-based approach to treatment of patients presenting with deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Question: Should any DOAC vs LMWH be used for VTE prophylaxis in acutely ill hospitalized medical patients? GRADE evidence to decision frameworks for tests in clinical practice and public health, Scoring systems for estimating risk of venous thromboembolism in hospitalized medical patients, National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, Trends in the incidence of pulmonary embolism and deep venous thrombosis in hospitalized patients, Venous thromboembolism in elderly high-risk medical patients: time course of events and influence of risk factors, Prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism--International Consensus Statement. We did not identify any systematic review that addressed this question. The panel rated adverse effects of mechanical prophylaxis, such as risk of falls, ischemia, and limb ulceration, as important, but not critical, for decision making. We identified 1 systematic review evaluating the risk of a symptomatic DVT event within 4 weeks of flights longer than 4 hours. The EtD framework is shown at https://dbep.gradepro.org/profile/0F91C482-0EC7-18AC-8738-817C23635ED2. The ASH panel addressed use of DOACs for inpatient and postdischarge prophylaxis in medical patients using data not available to other guideline groups and recommended against the use of DOACs over other treatments in the hospital. The study did not report on major bleeding. The panel felt that applying combined prophylaxis to all patients would mean that the undesirable consequences would likely outweigh the desirable consequences. It is not clear that patients with prior VTE are particularly susceptible to air travel–related VTE. 0000011418 00000 n
Overall, the certainty in the estimated effects was very low owing to very serious imprecision and serious indirectness of the estimates (see evidence profile and online EtD framework). In acutely ill medical patients, the ASH guideline panel recommends inpatient over inpatient plus extended-duration outpatient VTE prophylaxis (strong recommendation, moderate certainty in the evidence of effects ⊕⊕⊕◯). 2: Clinical practice guidelines, GRADE Evidence to Decision (EtD) frameworks: a systematic and transparent approach to making well informed healthcare choices. Eleven reports91,104-113 compared the cost-effectiveness of LMWH with UFH in hospitalized patients; 1 was a trial-based analysis that the panel considered most informative.106 All reports concluded that LMWH was cost-effective for thromboprophylaxis compared with UFH, with 4 reports suggesting that LMWH was more effective and provided net savings compared with UFH.91,104,105,111 The panel recognized that cost may change or differ widely across settings. There were no future research needs prioritized by the panel. They should be helpful in everyday clinical medical decision-making. Accurate diagnosis of VTE is important due to the morbidity and mortality associated with missed diagnoses and the potential side effects, patient inconvenience, and resource implications of anticoagulant treatment given for VTE. The panel assumed that avoidance of PE, DVT, and bleeding events was critical or important for decision-making to patients. We found 1 systematic review that provided evidence from trauma patients123 and 1 systematic review that provided evidence from stroke patients.132 Our update of the systematic reviews identified 1 additional study in stroke patients133 that fulfilled our inclusion criteria. Decisions may be constrained by the realities of a specific clinical setting and local resources, including, but not limited to, institutional policies, time limitations, and availability of treatments.

For example, 1 study134 comparing pneumatic compression devices with no devices for immobile stroke patients suggested an additional cost of US $2171 to prevent 1 DVT of any type. The ASH guidelines define the treatment period of acute DVT/PE as “initial management” (first 5-21 days), “primary treatment” (first 3-6 months), and “secondary prevention” (beyond the first 3-6 months). The use of these guidelines is also facilitated by the links to the EtD frameworks and interactive summary of findings tables in each section. The evidence suggested no important reduction in VTE but increased bleeding with use of LMWH in 1 study. For proximal and distal symptomatic DVT, we applied an RR of 0.62 (95% CI, 0.36-1.05), which was the RR for any symptomatic DVT in the studies. This study compared intermittent pneumatic compression with graduated compression stockings. On 30 April 2018, the ASH Guideline Oversight Subcommittee and the ASH Committee on Quality approved that the defined guideline-development process was followed; on 4 May 2018, the officers of the ASH Executive Committee approved submission of the guidelines for publication under the imprimatur of ASH. For long-distance travelers at increased risk for VTE, the ACCP recommended 15- to 30-mm Hg below-knee graduated compression stockings, frequent ambulation, calf muscle exercise, or sitting in an aisle seat. The panel rated the following outcomes as critical for clinical decision making across questions: mortality, PE, proximal DVT, distal DVT, major bleeding including gastrointestinal bleeding, and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). Four studies utilizing enoxaparin (1 study) or a DOAC (3 studies) for extended prophylaxis reported the effect of extended vs in-hospital–only pharmacological prophylaxis on the development of nonfatal PE, symptomatic proximal DVT, major bleeding, and mortality42,140,141,145 ; 3 studies reported the development of symptomatic distal DVT,42,140,141 and 1 study145 assessed the risk of developing HIT. Proper use of graduated compression stockings might require support in the elderly and people with disabilities, but stockings on a population level were considered probably feasible. This collection features AFP content on deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism and related issues, including anticoagulation, heparin therapy, and venous thromboembolism. Some panelists disclosed new interests or relationships during the development process, but the balance of the majority was maintained. None of the studies reported whether the symptomatic DVTs were proximal or distal; therefore, we estimated the absolute effect on proximal and distal DVT by applying results to a representative baseline risk. Major bleeding appeared reduced with mechanical vs pharmacological prophylaxis, with a RR of 0.87 (95% CI, 0.25-3.08) and an ARR of 4 fewer per 1000 (95% CI, 21 fewer to 58 more per 1000) (very low certainty in the evidence). 0000003485 00000 n

The guidelines were then subjected to peer review by Blood Advances. Statements about the underlying values and preferences, as well as qualifying remarks accompanying each recommendation, are its integral parts and serve to facilitate more accurate interpretation. The study reported an increase in thrombocytopenia (RR, 4.89; 95% CI, 0.24-98.96), but this increase was very imprecise, and the panel considered thrombocytopenia an important, but not critical, outcome for decision making. Before appointment to the panel, individuals disclosed financial and nonfinancial interests. The study did not report the risk of major bleeding, gastrointestinal bleeding, or HIT specifically. In acutely or critically ill medical patients, the ASH guideline panel suggests using mechanical alone over mechanical combined with pharmacological VTE prophylaxis (conditional recommendation, very low certainty in the evidence of effects ⊕◯◯◯). In absolute and relative terms, pharmacological prophylaxis probably reduces mortality, PE, and DVT. Thirty-three individuals or organizations submitted comments. In long-distance (>4 hours) travelers without risk factors for VTE, the ASH guideline panel suggests not using graduated compression stockings, LMWH, or aspirin for VTE prophylaxis (conditional recommendation, very low certainty in the evidence of effects ⊕◯◯◯). Overall, the certainty in these estimated effects is very low owing to very serious indirectness and serious risk of bias for the estimates (see evidence profile in the online EtD framework). For patient with subsegmental PE and no DVT, the guideline suggests clinical surveillance over anticoagulation when the risk of VTE recurrence is low (Grade 2C). The PE RR was 0.53 (95% CI, 0.28-0.98), and ARR was 2 fewer per 1000 (95% CI, 0-3 fewer per 1000). Therefore, following our prespecified analysis approach, we used the combined analyses of the 3 RCTs to formulate recommendations. Guidelines aim to present all the relevant evidence on a particular clinical issue in order to help physicians to weigh the benefits and risks of a particular diagnostic or therapeutic procedure. 0000007147 00000 n
Preventing hospital-associated venous thromboembolism: a guide for effective quality improvement. However, this judgment was based on very low certainty in the evidence for the comparison of the health effects exerted by fondaparinux compared with UFH or LMWH in acutely ill medical patients.

Decision aids may be useful in helping individuals to make decisions consistent with their individual risks, values, and preferences. 1: Introduction, Systems for grading the quality of evidence and the strength of recommendations I: critical appraisal of existing approaches The GRADE Working Group, GRADE guidelines: 1. The mortality RR was 0.90 (95% CI, 0.75-1.08), and ARR was 24 fewer per 1000 (95% CI, from 61 fewer to 19 more per 1000). Other researchers participated to fulfill requirements of an academic degree or program. International Travel and Health. With regard to research needs, the panel identified: Risk-assessment methods to define travelers at sufficiently high VTE risk to warrant VTE prophylaxis intervention; and, Large pragmatic trials of interventions to prevent VTE in travelers, particularly those at high VTE risk; and. The guideline panel determined that there is low certainty in the evidence for net health harm from using extended compared with in-hospital prophylaxis in critically ill patients and that the other EtD criteria were generally in favor of using in-hospital–only prophylaxis so that the undesirable consequences were greater than the desirable consequences in critically ill medical patients. In addition to conducting systematic reviews of intervention effects, the researchers searched for evidence related to baseline risks, values, preferences and costs, and summarized findings within the EtD frameworks.12,13,18 Subsequently, the certainty in the body of evidence (also known as quality of the evidence or confidence in the estimated effects) was assessed for each effect estimate of the outcomes of interest following the GRADE approach based on the following domains: risk for bias, precision, consistency and magnitude of the estimates of effects, directness of the evidence, risk for publication bias, presence of large effects, dose–response relationship, and an assessment of the effect of plausible residual and opposing confounding. In Part B, they disclosed interests that were not mainly financial. Rating outcomes by their relative importance can help to focus attention on those outcomes that are considered most important for clinicians and patients and help to resolve or clarify potential disagreements. Major bleeding did not appear to differ between LMWH and UFH (RR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.76-1.27; RR, 1 fewer per 1000; 95% CI, 13 fewer to 14 more per 1000). In the 4 trials, extended use of pharmacological prophylaxis led to an increased risk for major bleeding (RR, 2.09; 95% CI, 1.33-3.27; ARI, 4-13 more bleeds per 1000; 95% CI, 1-8 more and 4-27 more per 1000 for baseline risks of 0.4% and 1.2%, respectively, based on the trials and Decousus et al39 ). Development of these guidelines, including systematic evidence review, was supported by the McMaster University GRADE Centre, a world leader in guideline development. The panel assumed that avoidance of death, PE, and DVT was critical or important to patients for decision making. Should LMWH vs UFH be used for VTE prophylaxis in critically ill patients? In absolute and relative terms, mechanical prophylaxis appeared to have little or no impact on mortality and VTE (RR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.77-1.13; ARR, 7 fewer per 1000; 95% CI, from 24 fewer to 14 more per 1000). 0000013405 00000 n

The words “the guideline panel recommends” are used for strong recommendations, and “the guideline panel suggests” for conditional recommendations. For proximal DVT, the RR was 0.54 (95% CI, 0.32-0.91), and ARR was 3 fewer per 1000 (95% CI, 1-4 fewer per 1000 based on representative baseline risks). The EtD framework is shown at https://dbep.gradepro.org/profile/FDD22673-C5BB-8A63-A715-5D225B808EA2. Remark: If patients are on a DOAC for other reasons, this recommendation may not apply. All guidelines advocated assessing the risk of VTE and bleeding in admitted medical patients. Decision aids may be useful in helping patients to make decisions consistent with their individual risks, values, and preferences. The panel made a conditional recommendation for using pharmacological prophylaxis over mechanical prophylaxis and determined that the recommendation would not apply to groups in whom the risk of VTE would be too small to justify the downsides or burden of any prophylaxis. Project oversight was provided initially by a coordination panel, which reported to the ASH Committee on Quality, and then by the coordination panel chair (Dr. Adam Cuker) and vice-chair (H.J.S.). 0000004216 00000 n
