Use of Coagulation Factor Concentrates and Blood Transfusion in Cardiac Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study of Adults with Hereditary and Acquired Bleeding Disorders

Use of Coagulation Factor Concentrates and Blood Transfusion in Cardiac Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study of Adults with Hereditary and Acquired Bleeding Disorders Academic Background Cardiac surgery is one of the high-risk procedures, especially for patients with bleeding disorders, as it significantly increases the risk of perioperative bleed...

Effect of Perioperative Blood Transfusion on Preoperative Haemoglobin Levels as a Risk Factor for Long-Term Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Major Noncardiac Surgery: A Prospective Multicentre Observational Study

Academic Background Preoperative anemia and red blood cell (RBC) transfusions are closely associated with poorer surgical outcomes. Although RBC transfusions can increase oxygen delivery, they are also linked to an increased risk of infectious complications, thromboembolic events, pneumonia, sepsis, cardiac events, and mortality. Therefore, when st...

Factors in Initial Anticoagulation Choice in Hospitalized Patients with Pulmonary Embolism

Pulmonary Embolism (PE) Overview Pulmonary Embolism (PE) is a serious medical emergency with an annual incidence of approximately 60 to 120 cases per 100,000 people in North America and Europe. Most patients are diagnosed with PE in the Emergency Department (ED), and hospitalization is required for the majority of U.S. patients. Anticoagulation is ...

Cardiovascular Disease and Breast Cancer Stage at Diagnosis

Association Between Cardiovascular Disease and Breast Cancer Stage at Diagnosis Academic Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer are the two leading causes of mortality in the United States. Although they share many common risk factors, recent studies suggest that CVD may directly promote the occurrence and progression of cancer. Specifi...
