- INTRODUCTION: Oral thromboprophylaxis with dabigatran etexilate should be initiated as a half dose 1 to 4h after major orthopaedic surgery. However, a delay in dosing could occur for clinical or logistical reasons. A post hoc analysis was carried out to determine if patients with delayed dosing received adequate anticoagulation. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The RE-MODEL™ and RE-NOVATE® trials compared 220mg and 150mg dabigatran etexilate with 40mg enoxaparin. Pooled data for major venous thromboembolism (VTE) and VTE-related mortality (efficacy outcome) and major bleeding events (MBE), MBE/clinically relevant bleeding events, and all bleeding events (safety outcomes) were analysed. Results in patients with dosing delayed more than 4h postsurgery were compared with those of patients without a delay. RESULTS: Onset of treatment was delayed in 724 (13.3%) of 5425 patients. Efficacy of 220mg dabigatran etexilate was similar in patients without delayed dosing, patients with a delay and patients with a delay until the day after surgery. Rates of efficacy outcome were higher in patients on 150mg dabigatran etexilate, but more than 80% of these patients were undertreated based on age or renal clearance status. Some differences in bleeding events were seen among patient groups by treatment arm. CONCLUSION: Dabigatran etexilate thromboprophylaxis should be initiated 1 to 4h postsurgery. Results from our post-hoc analysis indicate that no loss of efficacy appears to occur if initiation of dabigatran etexilate 220mg needs to be delayed.

- COVID-19 is highly variable in its clinical presentation, ranging from asymptomatic infection to severe organ damage and death. We characterized the time-dependent progression of the disease in 139 COVID-19 inpatients by measuring 86 accredited diagnostic parameters, such as blood cell counts and enzyme activities, as well as untargeted plasma proteomes at 687 sampling points. We report an initial spike in a systemic inflammatory response, which is gradually alleviated and followed by a protein signature indicative of tissue repair, metabolic reconstitution, and immunomodulation. We identify prognostic marker signatures for devising risk-adapted treatment strategies and use machine learning to classify therapeutic needs. We show that the machine learning models based on the proteome are transferable to an independent cohort. Our study presents a map linking routinely used clinical diagnostic parameters to plasma proteomes and their dynamics in an infectious disease.

- This trial compared the efficacy and safety of oral dabigatran, a direct thrombin inhibitor, versus subcutaneous enoxaparin for extended thromboprophylaxis in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. A total of 2,055 patients were randomised to 28-35 days treatment with oral dabigatran, 220 mg once-daily, starting with a half-dose 1-4 hours after surgery, or subcutaneous enoxaparin 40 mg once-daily, starting the evening before surgery. The primary efficacy outcome was a composite of total venous thromboembolism [VTE] (venographic or symptomatic) and death from all-causes. The main secondary composite outcome was major VTE (proximal deep-vein thrombosis or non-fatal pulmonary embolism) plus VTE-related death. The main safety outcome was major bleeding. In total, 2,013 were treated, of whom 1,577 operated patients were included in the primary efficacy analysis. The primary efficacy outcome occurred in 7.7% of the dabigatran group versus 8.8% of the enoxaparin group, risk difference (RD) -1.1% (95%CI -3.8 to 1.6%); p<0.0001 for the pre-specified non-inferiority margin. Major VTE plus VTE-related death occurred in 2.2% of the dabigatran group versus 4.2% of the enoxaparin group, RD -1.9% (-3.6% to -0.2%); p=0.03. Major bleeding occurred in 1.4% of the dabigatran group and 0.9% of the enoxaparin group (p=0.40). The incidence of adverse events, including liver enzyme elevations and cardiac events, during treatment was similar between the groups. Extended prophylaxis with oral dabigatran 220 mg once-daily was as effective as subcutaneous enoxaparin 40 mg once-daily in reducing the risk of VTE after total hip arthroplasty, and superior to enoxaparin for reducing the risk of major VTE. The risk of bleeding and safety profiles were similar.
