Low Dosage

Earlier this year1 we discussed the prevention and treatment of venous thrombosis and concluded that heparin in low dosage seemed the most promising drug for preventing deep-vein thrombosis postoperatively, although the optimum regimen was not yet known. Sharnoff and his associates who began this work 10 years ago claim to have shown that this treatment largely prevents fatal pulmonary embolism.2

ObjectivesTo evaluate the short-term (12 weeks) safety and utilisation of rivaroxaban prescribed to new-user adult patients for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism and for the prevention of recurrent deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in a secondary care setting in England and Wales.DesignAn observational cohort study using the technique of Specialist Cohort Event Monitoring.SettingThe Rivaroxaban Observational Safety Evaluation study was conducted across 87 participating National Health Service secondary care trusts in England and Wales.Participants1532 patients treated with rivaroxaban for the prevention and treatment of deep vein thrombosis/pulmonary embolism from September 2013 to January 2016.InterventionsNon-interventional postauthorisation safety study of rivaroxaban.Primary and secondary outcome measures(1) Risk of major bleeding in gastrointestinal, intracranial, and urogenital sites and (2) risk of all major and clinically relevant non-major bleeds.ResultsOf a total of 4846 patients enrolled in the study from September 2013 to January 2016, 1532 were treated with rivaroxaban for the prevention and treatment of deep vein thrombosis/pulmonary embolism. The median age of the deep vein thrombosis/pulmonary embolism cohort was 63 years, and 54.6% were men. The risk of major bleeding within the gastrointestinal, urogenital and intracranial primary sites was 0.7% (n=11), 0.3% (n=5) and 0.1% (n=1), respectively. The risk of major bleeding in all sites was 1.5% (n=23) at a rate of 8.3 events per 100 patient-years.ConclusionsIn terms of the primary outcome risk of major bleeding in gastrointestinal, intracranial and urogenital sites, the risk estimates in the population using rivaroxaban for deep vein thrombosis/pulmonary embolism were low (<1%) and consistent with the risk estimated from clinical trial data and in routine clinical practice.Trial registration numbersClinicalTrials.gov Registry (NCT01871194); ENCePP Registry (EUPAS3979).
