Abstract
Autoimmune disease is a risk factor for first incident venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, data on the risk of recurrent VTE in people with autoimmune disease is sparse. We explored the risk of recurrent VTE using the RIETE registry, comparing people with autoimmune disease (n = 1305) to those without (n = 50608). Overall rates were 6.5 and 5.1 recurrent VTE/100 years for patients with autoimmune disease vs controls, respectively. After adjustment for sex and unprovoked/provoked VTE yielded an adjusted hazard ratio of 1.29 (95%CI 1.03‐1.62). The analysis was limited by short median follow up time (161 days overall), precluding definitive conclusions on recurrent VTE risks.

Abstract
AIMS Little is known about the prognosis of patients with massive pulmonary embolism (PE) and its risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) compared with non-massive PE, which may inform clinical decisions. Our aim was to compare the risk of recurrent VTE, bleeding, and mortality after massive and non-massive PE during anticoagulation and after its discontinuation. METHODS AND RESULTS We included all participants in the RIETE registry who suffered a symptomatic, objectively confirmed segmental or more central PE. Massive PE was defined by a systolic hypotension at clinical presentation (<90 mm Hg). We compared the risks of recurrent VTE, major bleeding, and mortality using time-to-event multivariable competing risk modeling. There were 3.5% of massive PE among 38 996 patients with PE. During the anticoagulation period, massive PE was associated with a greater risk of major bleeding (subhazard ratio [sHR] 1.72, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.28-2.32), but not of recurrent VTE (sHR 1.15, 95% CI 0.75-1.74) than non-massive PE. An increased risk of mortality was only observed in the first month after PE. After discontinuation of anticoagulation, among 11 579 patients, massive PE and non-massive PE had similar risks of mortality, bleeding, and recurrent VTE (sHR 0.85, 95% CI 0.51-1.40), but with different case fatality of recurrent PE (11.1% versus 2.4%, P = .03) and possibly different risk of recurrent fatal PE (sHR 3.65, 95% CI 0.82-16.24). CONCLUSION In this large prospective registry, the baseline hemodynamic status of the incident PE did not influence the risk of recurrent VTE, during and after the anticoagulation periods, but was possibly associated with recurrent PE of greater severity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To address the association between psychiatric disorders and short-term outcomes after acute symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE). METHODS We identified adults with PE enrolled in the RIETE registry between December 1, 2013, and January 31, 2019. Using multinomial regression, we assessed the association between a history of psychiatric disorders and the outcomes of all-cause mortality, PE-related mortality, and venous thromboembolism recurrence and bleeding rates through 30 days after initiation of treatment. We also examined the impact of depression on all-cause and PE-specific mortality. RESULTS Among 13,120 patients diagnosed with acute PE, 16.1% (2115) had psychiatric disorders and 4.2% died within the first 30-days of follow-up. Patients with psychiatric disorders had increased odds for all-cause (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.50; 95% CI, 1.21 to 1.86; P < 0.001) and PE-related mortality (adjusted OR 1.64; 95% CI, 1.09 to 2.48; P = 0.02) compared to those without psychiatric disorders. Multinomial logistic regression showed a non-significant trend toward lower risk of recurrences for patients with psychiatric disorders (adjusted OR 0.49; 95% CI, 0.21 to 1.15; P = 0.10). Psychiatric disorders were not significantly associated with increased odds for major bleeds during follow-up (adjusted OR 1.09; 95% CI, 0.85 to 1.40; P = 0.49). Results were consistent in a sensitivity analysis that only considered patients with a diagnosis of depression. CONCLUSIONS In patients with acute PE, history of psychiatric disorders might predict all-cause and PE-related death in the ensuing month after diagnosis.

Abstract
Background:
The choice of the imaging modality for diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) could be influenced by provider, patient or hospital characteristics, or over time. However, little is known about the choice of the diagnostic modalities in practice. The aim of this study was to evaluate the variations in the use of imaging modalities for patients with acute PE.
Methods:
Using the data from Registro Informatizado Enfermedad TromboEmbolica (RIETE), a prospective international registry of patients with venous thromboembolism (March 2001–January 2019), we explored the imaging modalities used in patients with acute PE. The imaging modalities included computed tomography pulmonary angiography, ventilation/perfusion scanning, pulmonary angiography, a combination of these tests, or PE signs and symptoms plus imaging-confirmed proximal deep vein thrombosis but no chest imaging.
Results:
Among 38 025 patients with confirmed PE (53.1% female, age: 67.3±17 years), computed tomography pulmonary angiography was the dominant modality of diagnosis in all RIETE enrollees (78.2% [99% CI, 77.6–78.7]); including pregnant patients (58.9% [99% CI, 47.7%–69.4%]) and patients with severe renal insufficiency (62.5% [99% CI, 59.9–65.0]). A greater proportion of patients underwent ventilation/perfusion scanning in larger hospitals compared with smaller hospitals (13.1% versus 7.3%,
P
<0.001). The use of computed tomography pulmonary angiography varied between 13.3% and 98.3% across the countries, and its use increased over time (46.5% in 2002 to 91.7% in 2018,
P
<0.001).
Conclusions:
In a large multinational PE registry, variations were observed in the use of imaging modalities according to patient or institutional factors and over time. However, computed tomography pulmonary angiography was the dominant modality of diagnosis, even in pregnancy and severe renal insufficiency. The safety, costs, and downstream effects of these tests on PE-related and non-PE-related outcomes warrant further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The influence (if any) of the use of psychotropic drugs on outcome in patients receiving anticoagulant therapy for venous thromboembolism (VTE) has not been consistently evaluated. METHODS We used data from the RIETE (Registro Informatizado Enfermedad TromboEmbólica) database to compare the risk for VTE recurrences, major bleeding, or death during the course of anticoagulant therapy, according to the use of psychotropics at baseline. RESULTS Among 49,007 patients with VTE enrolled from February 2009 to September 2019, total 5,230 (11%) were using psychotropics at baseline: antidepressants 3,273 (6.7%), antipsychotics 1,588 (3.2%), and anticholinesterases 369 (0.7%). During the course of anticoagulation, 1,259 patients developed VTE recurrences, 1,231 bled, and 3,988 died (fatal pulmonary embolism 269 and fatal bleeding 187). On multivariable analysis, patients using psychotropics at baseline had a similar risk for VTE recurrences (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 0.81; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.58-1.12), a nonsignificantly higher risk for major bleeding (adjusted HR: 1.15; 95% CI: 0.97-1.35), and a higher risk for intracranial bleeding (adjusted HR: 1.83; 95% CI: 1.32-2.53) or death (adjusted HR: 1.44; 95% CI: 1.32-1.57) compared with those not using psychotropics. When separately analyzed, the highest risk for intracranial bleeding was found in patients using antidepressants (adjusted HR: 1.60; 95% CI: 1.08-2.37) or antipsychotics (adjusted HR: 2.02; 95% CI: 1.17-3.49) but not in those on anticholinesterases (adjusted HR: 1.69; 95% CI: 0.62-4.60). CONCLUSION During the course anticoagulation for VTE, patients using psychotropics at baseline were at increased risk for intracranial bleeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) secondary to transient risk factors may develop VTE recurrences after discontinuing anticoagulation. Identifying at-risk patients could help to guide the duration of therapy. METHODS We used the RIETE database to assess the prognostic value of d-dimer testing after discontinuing anticoagulation to identify patients at increased risk for recurrences. Transient risk factors were classified as major (postoperative) or minor (pregnancy, oestrogen use, immobilization or recent travel). RESULTS In December 2018, 1655 VTE patients with transient risk factors (major 460, minor 1195) underwent d-dimer measurements after discontinuing anticoagulation. Amongst patients with major risk factors, the recurrence rate was 5.74 (95% CI: 3.19-9.57) events per 100 patient-years in those with raised d-dimer levels and 2.68 (95% CI: 1.45-4.56) in those with normal levels. Amongst patients with minor risk factors, the rates were 7.79 (95% CI: 5.71-10.4) and 3.34 (95% CI: 2.39-4.53), respectively. Patients with major risk factors and raised d-dimer levels (n = 171) had a nonsignificantly higher rate of recurrences (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.14; 95% CI: 0.96-4.79) than those with normal levels. Patients with minor risk factors and raised d-dimer levels (n = 382) had a higher rate of recurrences (HR: 2.34; 95% CI: 1.51-3.63) than those with normal levels. On multivariate analysis, raised d-dimers (HR: 1.74; 95% CI: 1.09-2.77) were associated with an increased risk for recurrences in patients with minor risk factors, not in those with major risk factors. CONCLUSIONS Patients with raised d-dimer levels after discontinuing anticoagulant therapy for VTE provoked by a minor transient risk factor were at an increased risk for recurrences.

Abstract
The association between inferior vena cava filter (IVC) use and outcome in patients presenting with major bleeding during anticoagulation for venous thromboembolism (VTE) has not been thoroughly investigated. We used the RIETE registry to compare the 30-day outcomes (death, major re-bleeding or VTE recurrences) in VTE patients who bled during the first 3 months of therapy, regarding the insertion of an IVC filter. A propensity score matched (PSM) analysis was performed to adjust for potential confounders. From January 2001 to September 2016, 1065 VTE patients had major bleeding during the first 3 months of anticoagulation (gastrointestinal 370; intracranial 124). Of these, 122 patients (11%) received an IVC filter. Patients receiving a filter restarted anticoagulation later (median, 4 vs. 2 days) and at lower doses (95 ± 52 IU/kg/day vs. 104 ± 55 of low-molecular-weight heparin) than those not receiving a filter. During the first 30 days after bleeding (after excluding 246 patients who died within the first 24 h), 283 patients (27%) died, 63 (5.9%) had non-fatal re-bleeding and 19 (1.8%) had recurrent pulmonary embolism (PE). In PSM analysis, patients receiving an IVC filter (n = 122) had a lower risk for all-cause death (HR 0.49; 95% CI 0.31-0.77) or fatal bleeding (HR 0.16; 95% CI 0.07-0.49) and a similar risk for re-bleeding (HR 0.55; 95% CI 0.23-1.40) or PE recurrences (HR 1.57; 95% CI 0.38-6.36) than those not receiving a filter (n = 429). In VTE patients experiencing major bleeding during the first 3 months, use of an IVC filter was associated with reduced mortality rates.Clinical Trial Registration NCT02832245.

Abstract
Treatment of patients with cancer-associated venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains a major challenge. The modified Ottawa score is a clinical prediction rule evaluating the risk of VTE recurrences during the first six months of anticoagulant treatment in patients with cancer-related VTE. We aimed to validate the Ottawa score using data from the RIETE registry. A total of 11,123 cancer patients with VTE were included in the analysis. According to modified Ottawa score, 2,343 (21 %) were categorised at low risk for VTE recurrences, 4,525 (41 %) at intermediate risk, and 4,255 (38 %) at high risk. Overall, 477 episodes of VTE recurrences were recorded during the course of anticoagulant therapy, with an incidence rate for low, intermediate, and high risk groups of 6.88 % (95 % CI 5.31-8.77), 11.8 % (95 % CI 10.1-13.6), and 21.3 % (95 % CI 18.8-24.1) patient-years, respectively. Overall mortality had an incidence rate of 21.1 % (95 % CI 18.2-24.3), 79.4 % (95 % CI: 74.9-84.1), and 134.7 % (95 % CI: 128.3-141.4) patient-years, respectively. The accuracy and discriminating power of the modified Ottawa score for VTE recurrence was modest, with low sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value, and a C-statistics of 0.58 (95 % CI: 0.56-0.61). In our analysis, the modified Ottawa score did not accurately predict VTE recurrence among patients with cancer-associated thrombosis, thus hindering its use in clinical practice. It is time to define a new score including other clinical predictors.

Abstract
Current guidelines of antithrombotic therapy suggest early initiation of vitamin K antagonists (VKA) in non-cancer patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE), and long-term therapy with low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH) for those with cancer. We used data from RIETE (international registry of patients with VTE) to report the use of long-term anticoagulant therapy over time and to identify predictors of anticoagulant choice (regarding international guidelines) in patients with- and without cancer. Among 35,280 patients without cancer, 82% received long-term VKA (but 17% started after the first week). Among 4,378 patients with cancer, 66% received long term LMWH as monotherapy. In patients without cancer, recent bleeding (odds ratio [OR] 2.70, 95% CI 2.26–3.23), age >70 years (OR 1.15, 95% CI 1.06–1.24), immobility (OR 2.06, 95% CI 1.93–2.19), renal insufficiency (OR 2.42, 95% CI 2.15–2.71) and anemia (OR 1.75, 95% CI 1.65–1.87) predicted poor adherence to guidelines. In those with cancer, anemia (OR 1.83, 95% CI 1.64–2.06), immobility (OR 1.51, 95% CI 1.30–1.76) and metastases (OR 3.22, 95% CI 2.87–3.61) predicted long-term LMWH therapy. In conclusion, we report practices of VTE therapy in real life and found that a significant proportion of patients did not receive the recommended treatment. The perceived increased risk for bleeding has an impact on anticoagulant treatment decision.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The outcome of cancer patients with acute venous thromboembolism (VTE) may differ according to gender. METHODS We used the RIETE database to compare the rate of VTE (pulmonary embolism [PE] or deep vein thrombosis [DVT]) recurrences), major bleeding and mortality during the course of anticoagulation, according to gender. RESULTS As of August 2014, 11,055 patients with active cancer were enrolled in RIETE, of whom 5,104 (46%) were women. During the course of anticoagulation (mean: 142 days), 505 patients developed recurrent VTE, 429 bled and 2730 died. Compared with men, women had a significantly lower rate of fatal bleeding (risk ratio [RR]: 0.69; 95% CI: 0.47-0.99) and death (RR: 0.90; 95% CI: 0.83-0.97), and a non-significantly lower rate of PE recurrences (RR 0.83; 95% CI: 0.65-1.06) and major bleeding (RR: 0.89; 95% CI: 0.74-1.08). CONCLUSIONS During the course of anticoagulation, cancer women with VTE had a better outcome than men.

Abstract
The natural history of patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) who develop a major bleeding complication while on anticoagulant therapy is not well known. RIETE is a prospective registry of consecutive patients with symptomatic, objectively confirmed, acute VTE. The clinical characteristics, treatment decisions and outcome of all VTE patients who had major bleeding during the first three months of anticoagulant therapy were retrospectively studied. As of January 2007, 17, 368 patients were included in RIETE. Of these, 407 (2.3%) had major bleeding during the study period: 144 gastrointestinal, 119 haematoma, 51 intracranial, 43 genitourinary, 50 other. In 286 (69%) patients anticoagulant therapy was discontinued, in 74 (18%) not modified, in 38 (9.1%) a vena cava filter was inserted. During the first 30 days after bleeding, 24 (5.9%) patients re-bled, 20 (4.9%) had recurrent VTE, 133 (33%) died. Of these, 75 died of bleeding, 12 of recurrent pulmonary embolism. Most deaths occurred shortly after the bleeding episode (median: 1 day). On multivariate analysis, insertion of a vena cava filter was the only variable independently associated with a lower incidence of fatal bleeding (odds ratio [OR]: 0.10; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.01-0.79) and all-cause mortality (OR: 0.21; 95% CI: 0.07-0.63). In conclusion, the occurrence of major bleeding in patients with VTE is outstanding in terms of overall mortality (33% within 30 days), fatal bleeding (18%) or re-bleeding (5.9%). However, these patients also have an increased incidence of recurrent VTE (4.9%) and fatal pulmonary embolism (1.2%).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Hyperhomocysteinaemia is a well-known risk factor for venous thromboembolic disease (VTD). However, it is not clear whether homocysteine (Hc) itself or a related metabolite or a cofactor is primarily responsible for VTD. We carried out a case-control study to investigate whether vitamin concentrations that are involved in the Hc metabolism are associated or not with an elevated risk of VTD. DESIGN Case-control study. METHODS We measured serum vitamin B12, folate, creatinine and albumin concentrations and plasma Hc concentrations in 101 consecutive patients with VTD, diagnosed by image tests and 101 control subjects, matched for age and sex. RESULTS Serum vitamin B12 concentrations were significantly lower in VTD patients than in the control subjects. There were no differences in plasma Hc or serum folate concentrations between the groups. Among the male subgroup aged more than 70 years, serum vitamin B12 concentrations were significantly lower (240.88 +/- 103.07 vs. 421.20 +/- 314.31 pmol L(-1); P = 0.03) and plasma Hc concentrations were significantly higher (13.1 +/- 4.18 vs. 10.56 +/- 3.06 micromol L(-1); P =0.04) in VTD patients than in the control group. On multivariate analysis, in patients aged more than 70 years, serum vitamin B12 concentrations were independently associated with VTD. Compared with the highest quartile of vitamin B12 (>512.6 pmol L(-1)) the odds ratio (OR) for VTD in the lowest quartile (<230.9 pmol L(-1)) was 3.8 (95% CI 1.44-10.18; P = 0.01). In the VTD group, lowest vitamin B12 concentrations (percentile 10 <152.8 pmol L(-1)) were associated with the factor V Leiden mutation (OR = 6.07, 95% CI 0.93-38.55; P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS Measuring vitamin B12 concentrations in elderly males may help in identifying people at risk of venous thromboembolism in our population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients who have experienced a recent major bleeding episode are usually excluded from clinical studies of venous thromboembolism (VTE) treatment. Therefore, recommendations based on evidence from clinical trials may not be suitable for these patients. The Registro Informatizado de la Enfermedad TromboEmbolica (RIETE) is a multicenter, observational registry designed to gather and analyze data on VTE treatment practices and clinical outcomes in patients with acute VTE. OBJECTIVES The aim of this analysis was to study outcomes of patients with VTE who had experienced recent major bleeding (< 30 days prior to VTE diagnosis). METHODS Patients with objectively confirmed symptomatic acute VTE are consecutively enrolled into the RIETE registry. Patient characteristics, details of antithrombotic therapy, and clinical outcomes at 3 months were recorded. RESULTS Of 6361 patients enrolled up to January 2004, 170 (2.7%) had experienced recent major bleeding: 69 (40.6%) gastrointestinal tract, 60 (35.3%) intracranial, 41 (24.1%) other. The incidences of major bleeding (4.1%) and recurrent pulmonary embolism (PE) (2.4%) were significantly higher in patients with recent major bleeding. Among them, patients with cancer had an increased incidence of major bleeding [odds ratio (OR) 10.0, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.3, 50; P < 0.001] and fatal PE (OR 4.1, 95% CI 0.98, 17; P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Patients with VTE and recent major bleeding prior to VTE diagnosis (2.7% of total enrolled patients) had poorer clinical outcomes compared with those who had not experienced recent major bleeding. In patients who had recent major bleeding prior to enrollment, those with cancer had a poorer clinical outcome than those without cancer.
