Abstract
Purpose
Low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWHs) are widely used for prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in critically ill patients. The objective of this study was to assess the dose-response relationship between nadroparin dose and anti-Xa activity in ICU patients.
Materials and methods
Critically ill adult patients who were admitted to the ICU, and received at least three subcutaneous injections of nadroparin were included. The dose-effect relationship between nadroparin dose and anti-Xa level was analysed through a mixed-effects logistic regression model.
Results
In total, 327 ICU patients were included. Median anti-Xa levels ranged from <0.1 IU/mL after nadroparin 0–37 IU/kg/day to 0.6 IU/mL after nadroparin >85 IU/kg/day (p < 0.01). Among all 1520 anti-Xa measurements, 859 (57 %) measurements were in the desired anti-Xa range. The best adequacy of anti-Xa levels was observed in nadroparin doses of 38–85 IU/kg (73 %). No differences in the odds of bleeding events or VTE between different anti-Xa levels were found.
Conclusions
We found a clear dose-response relationship between nadroparin dose and anti-Xa levels. Increasing nadroparin doses led to more adequate anti-Xa levels without a change in the occurrence of VTE or major bleeding events, suggesting that LMWH therapy can be successfully and safely personalized using anti-Xa guided dosing.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Critical Care, the official publication of the World Federation of Societies of Intensive and Critical Care Medicine (WFSICCM), is a leading international, peer-reviewed journal providing original research, review articles, tutorials, and invited articles for physicians and allied health professionals involved in treating the critically ill. The Journal aims to improve patient care by furthering understanding of health systems research and its integration into clinical practice.
The Journal will include articles which discuss:
All aspects of health services research in critical care
System based practice in anesthesiology, perioperative and critical care medicine
The interface between anesthesiology, critical care medicine and pain
Integrating intraoperative management in preparation for postoperative critical care management and recovery
Optimizing patient management, i.e., exploring the interface between evidence-based principles or clinical insight into management and care of complex patients
The team approach in the OR and ICU
System-based research
Medical ethics
Technology in medicine
Seminars discussing current, state of the art, and sometimes controversial topics in anesthesiology, critical care medicine, and professional education
Residency Education.
