Central venous catheter-associated complications in pediatric patients diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma: implications for catheter choice. Support Care Cancer 2022; 30:8069-8079. [PMID: 35776186 PMCID: PMC9512752 DOI: 10.1007/s00520-022-07256-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2022] [Accepted: 06/23/2022] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine the most optimal central venous catheter (CVC) for pediatric patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) in terms of complications. Methods A retrospective study including patients diagnosed with HL from 2015 to 2021 at the Princess Máxima Center was performed. Patients were followed from CVC insertion until removal or 06–2021, whichever came first. The primary outcome was the CVC-related complication incidence rate (IR) per 1000 CVC-days. Furthermore, the incidence rate ratio (IRR) was calculated by comparing complication IRs between peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) and totally implantable venous access ports (TIVAP). Additionally, risk factors for central venous thrombosis (CVT) were identified. Results A total of 98 patients were included. The most frequently observed complications were local irritation/infections (18%; IR 0.93), malfunctions (15%; IR 0.88), and CVC-related CVTs (10%; IR 0.52). Single lumen PICCs were associated with a higher risk of complications (49% vs. 26%; IRR 5.12, CI95% 2.76–9.50), severe complications (19% vs. 7%; IRR 11.96, CI95% 2.68–53.42), and early removal (18% vs. 7%; IRR 9.96, CI95% 2.18–45.47). A single lumen PICC was identified as a risk factor for CVC-related CVT when compared to TIVAPs (12% vs. 7%, IRR 6.98, CI95% 1.45–33.57). Conclusion The insertion of a TIVAP rather than a PICC should be recommended for pediatric patients with HL, especially in the presence of CVT-related risk factors. Future trials should evaluate the efficacy and safety of direct oral anticoagulants for the primary prevention of CVT in pediatric patients with a PICC and other CVT-related risk factors.

Abstract
Pediatric antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a rare acquired multisystem autoimmune thromboinflammatory condition characterized by thrombotic and non-thrombotic clinical manifestations. APS in children and adolescents typically presents with large-vessel thrombosis, thrombotic microangiopathy, and, rarely, obstetric morbidity. Non-thrombotic clinical manifestations are frequently seen in pediatric APS and may be present even before the vascular thrombotic events occur. We review insights into the pathogenesis of APS and discuss potential targets for therapy. The identification of multiple immunologic abnormalities in patients with APS reveals molecular targets for current or future treatment. Management strategies, especially for APS in adolescents, require screening for additional prothrombotic risk factors and consideration of counseling regarding contraceptive strategies, lifestyle recommendations, treatment adherence, and mental health issues associated with this autoimmune thrombophilia. The main goal of therapy in pediatric APS is the prevention of thrombosis. The management of acute thrombosis events in children and adolescents is the same as for primary APS, which involves isolated occurrences, and secondary APS, which is seen in association with another autoimmune disease, e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus. A pediatric hematologist should be consulted so other differential thrombophilic conditions can be eliminated. Therapy includes unfractionated heparin or low-molecular-weight heparin followed by vitamin K antagonists. Treatment of catastrophic APS involves triple therapy (anticoagulation, intravenous corticosteroid pulse therapy, and plasma exchange) and may include intravenous immunoglobulin for children and adolescents with this condition. New drugs such as eculizumab and sirolimus seem to be promising drugs for APS.

Abstract
Rivaroxaban is an oral anticoagulant directly inhibiting Factor Xa activity, which is widely used for prophylaxis of thromboembolic disorders and is required for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) during therapyfor individual dosage adjustment. Thisstudyaimed at developing a liquidchromatography/tandem mass spectrometry method that was suitable forrivaroxaban TDM in human plasma and urine and exploring the feasibility of urine drug monitoring in medical care. The 3-min run of LC-MS/MS methodswereestablishedby employingan Acquity UPLC BEH C18 (2.1 mm × 50 mm, 1.7 μm) column using gradient elution of 10 mmol/L ammonium acetate containing 0.1% formic acid - 0.1% formic acid acetonitrile as mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min with the calibration range of 0.5 ng/mL-400 ng/mL and 10 ng/mL-10000 ng/mLfor human plasma and urine, respectively. Rivaroxaban wasdetected on a triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer with electrospray ionization source in positive ion mode. Themethods showed good linearity within the calibration range. Theprecision and accuracy, matrix effect, extraction recovery and stability inboth human matrices were all validatedand meet the international guideline requirements. These validated methods had been successfullyapplied to support TDMofan aged patient receiving rivaroxaban for therapy.

J Clin Pharm Ther 2021; 47:38-45. [PMID: 34592785 DOI: 10.1111/jcpt.13538] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2021] [Revised: 09/09/2021] [Accepted: 09/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE Oral anticoagulants (OACs), including warfarin and newer direct-acting OACs (DOACs), have been used for decades to prevent thromboembolic diseases. A drug utilization study was performed to determine the prescribing patterns of OACs. METHODS Data were extracted from the Cooperation Project of Hospital Prescription Analysis in China. A total of 455,490 prescription records from 43 tertiary hospitals in five cities of China (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hangzhou and Chengdu) were selected for inclusion. Quarterly trends of defined daily doses (DDDs) and defined daily dose cost (DDDC) from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2019 were calculated. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Warfarin was the most widely used OAC with DDDs between 189,982 and 176,323 from the first quarter (Q1) of 2015 to the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2019, whereas the use of DOACs increased rapidly during this period. DDDs of rivaroxaban increased from 5409 in Q1 of 2015 to 125,800 in Q4 of 2019, whereas the DDDC declined from 160.5 to 45.7. From Q1 of 2018, rivaroxaban became the most prescribed OAC, surpassing warfarin, in patients diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis. In addition, the DDDs of rivaroxaban exceeded those of warfarin in patients diagnosed with non-valvular atrial fibrillation since the second quarter (Q2) of 2019. DDDs in outpatients and inpatients increased by 80.6% and 71.4%, respectively, and the DDDC for outpatients in Q4 of 2019 was 6.7-fold higher than that in Q1 of 2015. Among patients of all ages, the DDDs in elderly patients increased from 36.8% in Q1 of 2015 to 59.4% in Q4 of 2019. Moreover, the departments of cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery prescribed the majority of the OACs. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION In this study, we describe OAC prescription patterns in China. DOACs, especially rivaroxaban, contribute to the continuous increase in the use of OACs. In the investigated population of China, outpatients and elderly patients were observed to be administered the highest proportion of DOACs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the literature on a potential dexamethasone-direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) drug interaction and provide management considerations with COVID hypercoagulability. DATA SOURCES A search of EMBASE, PubMed, and Google Scholar (January 1990 to May 2021), limited to the English language, using applicable search terms resulted in 137 articles, with 21 relevant articles included. Regulatory agency and clinical guidance documents were also reviewed. STUDY SELECTION AND DATA EXTRACTION Included articles describe in vitro or in vivo animal or human data for dexamethasone induction of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 or P-glycoprotein (P-gp). DATA SYNTHESIS Dexamethasone has the potential to interact with the DOACs via CYP3A4 and/or P-gp induction. Only apixaban and rivaroxaban have CYP3A4 metabolism. Dexamethasone can increase CYP3A4 activity by up to 70% and reduce the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of CYP3A4 substrates by >40%, which is consistent with criteria for a weak CYP inducer. In rodents, dexamethasone P-gp induction is associated with AUC reductions of 20% to 50%. Human data are lacking. RELEVANCE TO PATIENT CARE AND CLINICAL PRACTICE Severe COVID-19 infection is associated with hypercoagulability. Although heparins are the preferred anticoagulants for hospitalized COVID-19 patients, DOACs are being utilized. Dexamethasone is recommended for hospitalized COVID-19 patients requiring supplemental oxygen. The concurrent use of dexamethasone and apixaban or rivaroxaban in such patients carries the potential for reduced anticoagulant effect during a state of heightened thrombotic risk. CONCLUSIONS Concurrent use of dexamethasone and apixaban or rivaroxaban in hospitalized COVID-19 patients with laboratory evidence of COVID coagulopathy should be avoided until higher-quality data are available.

Quantification of direct-acting oral anticoagulants: Application of a clinically validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method to forensic cases. Drug Test Anal 2020; 13:419-426. [PMID: 32959964 DOI: 10.1002/dta.2930] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2020] [Revised: 09/08/2020] [Accepted: 09/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
In certain forensic cases, a quantification of direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) can be necessary. We evaluate the applicability of a previously described liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) methodology for the determination of DOACs in plasma to postmortem specimen. Postmortem internal quality control (PIQC) samples were prepared in pooled blank postmortem heart blood, femoral blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and urine as well in plasma. To examine the application of the clinical method to forensic cases, the main validation parameters were reinvestigated using PIQC samples. Postmortem samples of 12 forensic cases with evidence of previous rivaroxaban intake and unknown bleeding disorders were analyzed. Interday variability remained within the acceptance criterion of ±15%. Matrix effects were comparable in blank plasma and postmortem matrix extracts. After 4 weeks of storage in the refrigerator, no relevant decrease of DOACs was evident. After 96 h of storage at room temperature, a slight decrease in edoxaban concentration was observed in CSF and urine, while plasma edoxaban decreased by about 50%. Median (range) rivaroxaban concentrations determined in specimen of forensic cases were as follows: heart blood (n = 6), 17.2 ng/ml (<LOQ, 56.6 ng/ml); femoral blood (n = 12), 27.6 ng/ml (<LOQ, 110.5 ng/ml); CSF (n = 7), 11.7 ng/ml (<LOQ, 17.5 ng/ml); urine (n = 6), 275.7 ng/ml (14.5-870.9 ng/ml). The median heart/femoral blood rivaroxaban ratio was 1.2 (n = 5). Exemplary, a forensic case with detection of edoxaban in femoral blood, CSF, and urine, is presented. DOACs can be detected in postmortem heart and femoral blood, CSF, and urine specimen by LC-MS/MS. Based on limited forensic cases, no significant redistribution was evident for rivaroxaban, which was found at highest concentrations in urine.
