Introduction
Anticoagulation was once recommended for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). However, its survival benefit still remained controversial. We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of anticoagulation on the long-term survival of PAH patients.
Methods
The PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and WanFang electronic database were searched for eligible studies. Pooled hazard ratios (HRs) with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for effect estimate regarding anticoagulation on the survival of PAH patients.
Results
Fifteen cohort studies involving 4266 PAH patients were included. Approximately 45.8 % patients received anticoagulation. The mean follow-up period ranged from 2.1 to 14 years. Anticoagulation had a tendency to, however, did not significantly reduce mortality of PAH patients (HR: 0.86, 95 % CI: 0.73–1.02). In subgroup analysis, anticoagulation decreased the mortality risk as analyzed from retrospective studies (HR: 0.80, 95 % CI: 0.65–0.98), but not prospective studies (HR: 0.95, 95 % CI: 0.70–1.29). For both idiopathic PAH (IPAH) and connective tissue disease associated PAH (CTD-PAH), anticoagulation therapy did not significantly improve the long-term survival rate (HR: 0.83, 95 % CI: 0.65–1.07, and HR: 1.05, 95 % CI: 0.77–1.42, respectively), and this result remained unchanged when pooling data from either retrospective or prospective studies. Further analysis showed that anticoagulation had no advantage in reducing mortality in patients with systemic sclerosis associated PAH, systemic erythematosus lupus related PAH (free of antiphospholipid syndrome), or CTD-PAH of non-specified etiology.
Conclusion
Anticoagulation may not reduce the long-term mortality of PAH patients, including those with IPAH and CTD-PAH. In the management of PAH, anticoagulants should be prescribed with caution before comprehensive risk to benefit evaluation. Larger and more vigorously designed controlled trials are warranted.

Hemophilia A, a severe hereditary hemorrhagic disorder characterized by a deficiency in blood clotting factors, imposes a significant economic burden on individuals, healthcare systems, and society, with inhibitors exacerbating the socioeconomic impact. The detrimental impact on the quality of life for patients and caregivers, including functional limitations, is particularly pronounced during bleeding episodes and in the presence of inhibitors. The increasing prevalence of Hemophilia A across the MENA region is evident, marked by the approval of various therapies and intensified research and development efforts focusing on treatment innovations. Despite commendable progress in Hemophilia management, challenges persist in providing care for Hemophilia patients in the region. This review aims to shed light on the current landscape, challenges, and market forecasts for Hemophilia A in the MENA region. Additionally, it strives to provide valuable insights for the future, emphasizing the need for clear approaches to ensure comprehensive care for individuals with Hemophilia.
血友病 A 是一种以凝血因子缺乏为特征的严重遗传性出血性疾病,给个人、医疗系统和社会造成了巨大的经济负担,而抑制剂则加剧了对社会经济的影响。对患者和护理人员生活质量的不利影响(包括功能限制)在出血发作期间和出现抑制剂时尤为明显。中东和北非地区的甲型血友病发病率明显上升,这主要得益于各种疗法的批准和以治疗创新为重点的研发工作的加强。尽管在血友病治疗方面取得了值得称道的进展,但该地区在为血友病患者提供治疗方面仍面临挑战。本综述旨在阐明中东和北非地区 A 型血友病的现状、挑战和市场预测。此外,它还致力于为未来提供有价值的见解,强调需要明确的方法来确保为血友病患者提供全面的护理。

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a rare complication of heparin exposure with potential for significant morbidity and mortality. Early identification and treatment can prevent catastrophic thrombosis. Herein, we report the performance of a platelet count-based clinical decision support system (CDSS) where providers received a notification when a patient had a platelet count decline of ≥50 %. In the 90-day study period, the CDSS sent 302 notifications on 270 patients. Notifications were frequently inappropriate; 25 % had an expected platelet count decline (organ donation, stem cell transplant), an inaccurate count, or no heparin exposure. Patient testing for HIT prompted by the CDSS was not in accordance with best practice guidelines in most circumstances. For example, 36 % had a low probability 4Ts score, while 42 % with an intermediate or high probability 4Ts score were not tested. Due to concern for lack of efficacy, the CDSS was discontinued. Analysis of an 8-month period before and after discontinuation showed a significant decrease in the number of enzyme immunoassays ordered (547 vs. 386) without a change in the number of patients with HIT identified (13 vs. 13) or the rate of thrombosis in those with confirmed HIT (62 % vs. 62 %). In conclusion, a CDSS based on platelet count decline contributed to “alert fatigue” via inappropriate notification and did not improve evidence-based HIT testing. In addition, its removal did not decrease or delay HIT identification. Additional efforts are needed to better define how CDSS can support the rapid diagnosis and appropriate treatment of patients with HIT.
肝素诱导的血小板减少症(HIT)是一种罕见的肝素暴露并发症,可能导致严重的发病率和死亡率。早期识别和治疗可以预防灾难性血栓形成。在本文中,我们报告了基于血小板计数的临床决策支持系统(CDSS)的性能,当患者血小板计数下降≥50%时,医疗服务提供者会收到通知。在 90 天的研究期间,CDSS 向 270 名患者发送了 302 次通知。通知往往不恰当;25%的患者血小板计数下降在意料之中(器官捐献、干细胞移植)、计数不准确或未接触肝素。在大多数情况下,CDSS 提示患者进行 HIT 检测并不符合最佳实践指南。例如,有 36% 的患者的 4Ts 评分为低概率,而 42% 的患者的 4Ts 评分为中概率或高概率,却没有进行检测。由于担心缺乏疗效,CDSS 停止使用。对停用前后 8 个月的分析表明,订购酶免疫测定的数量显著减少(547 对 386),但确定的 HIT 患者人数(13 对 13)或确诊 HIT 患者的血栓形成率(62% 对 62%)均无变化。总之,基于血小板计数下降的 CDSS 通过不适当的通知造成了 "警报疲劳",并没有改善循证 HIT 检测。此外,取消 CDSS 并没有减少或延迟 HIT 识别。还需要进一步努力,以更好地确定 CDSS 如何支持 HIT 患者的快速诊断和适当治疗。

Introduction
Factor Xa inhibitor (FXaI)-associated bleeding events are common and associated with substantial morbidity. Systematic evaluation of widely available, effective, and affordable FXaI bleed management strategies is needed.
Materials and methods
We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study of FXaI-treated patients presenting to a tertiary academic medical center from January 2018 to May 2019 who received 25–50 IU/kg 4F-PCC for either FXaI-associated major bleeding or urgent surgery. The primary outcome was hemostatic efficacy, and the safety outcome was the 30-day risk of thromboembolism.
Results
PCC was used to treat FXaI-associated bleeding in 83 cases (79.1 %) and was given before urgent surgery in 22 cases (20.9 %). Sixty-six patients were on apixaban, 38 were on rivaroxaban and one patient was on edoxaban. Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) and gastrointestinal bleeding accounted for most bleeds (74.7 %). Median interval between last DOAC intake and presentation to triage was 9 h [IQR 5.3–14.8] and median PCC dosing was 40.0 IU/kg [IQR 28.5–46.6]. Forty-two patients (40.0 %) had pre-PCC FXaI levels drawn with median FXaI levels of 114.5 ng/mL [IQR 70.0–175.0]. Effective hemostasis occurred in 66.7 % [95%CI 55.4–76.3] of patients receiving PCC for bleeding and surgical hemostasis was rated as normal in 95.5 % (95%CI 76.5–100.0) for patients having urgent surgery. The 30-day risk of thromboembolism was 7.6 % [95%CI 3.7–14.5] and 22.9 % [95%CI 15.8–31.8] of patients died.
Conclusions
PCC for FXaI-associated bleeding was associated with hemostatic efficacy in two-thirds of patients and thromboembolic events were uncommon. PCC represents a promising treatment strategy for FXaI-associated bleeding.

Introduction
SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) are risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Guidelines for VTE prophylaxis were established at our institution at the beginning of the pandemic. Patients who had any VTE risk factors in addition to COVID-19 met criteria for anticoagulation prophylaxis. Patients who were diagnosed with MIS-C met criteria regardless of additional risk factors.
Materials and methods
We conducted a retrospective review of patients admitted with COVID-19 or MIS-C to determine compliance with VTE prophylaxis guidelines and to evaluate the incidence of VTE and bleeding events in our population.
Results and conclusions
Among a total of 678 patients admitted with COVID-19 or MIS-C, 519 (76 %) patients met criteria for VTE prophylaxis and 348 (65.6 %) started prophylaxis. Logistic regression analysis identified a personal or family history of thrombosis or thrombophilia, diagnosis of MIS-C, admission to the intensive care unit, and presence of a central venous catheter as significantly associated with starting VTE prophylaxis. There were 18 patients who developed VTE. Minor bleeding events occurred in 19 patients (5 %), patient important bleeding, no intervention occurred in 8 patients (2 %), clinically relevant nonmajor bleeding in 8 patients (2 %), and major bleeding in 10 patients (3 %). The incidence of VTE in our patients with COVID-19 and MIS-C is similar to VTE rates at other institutions. We found that universally recognized VTE risk factors were appropriate to include as risk factors for thrombosis in hospitalized children with COVID-19 and MIS-C.

Background
Dissecting trends and contributing risk factors for intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in patients treated for acute pulmonary embolism (PE) may allow for a better patient selection for existing and emerging treatment options.
Methods
The German nationwide inpatient sample was screened for patients admitted due to PE 2005–2020. Hospitalizations were stratified for the occurrence of ICH; risk factors for ICH and temporal trends were investigated.
Results
Overall, 816,653 hospitalizations due to acute PE in the period 2005–2020 were analyzed in the study. ICH was reported in 2516 (0.3 %) hospitalizations, and time trend analysis revealed a fluctuating but overall, largely unchanged annual incidence. There was an increase of ICH with age. Patients with ICH had a higher comorbidity burden (Charlson-Comorbidity-Index [CCI], 5.0 [4.0–7.0] vs. 4.0 [2.0–5.0]; P < 0.001), and higher CCI was associated with an OR of 1.26 (95%CI 1.24–1.27) for ICH. Further independent risk factors for ICH were age ≥ 70 years (OR 1.23 [1.12–1.34]), severe (versus low-risk) PE (OR 3.09 [2.84–3.35]), surgery (OR 1.59 [1.47–1.72]), acute kidney injury (OR 3.60 [3.09–4.18]), and ischemic stroke (OR 14.64 [12.61–17.00]). The identified risk factors for ICH varied among different reperfusion treatment groups. As expected, ICH had a substantial impact on case-fatality of PE (OR 6.16 [5.64–6.72]; P < 0.001).
Conclusions
Incidence of ICH in patients hospitalized for acute PE in Germany was overall low and depended on the patients' comorbidity burden. Identifying patients at risk for ICH allows tailored patient selection for the different reperfusion treatments and might prevent ICH.
背景剖析急性肺栓塞(PE)患者颅内出血(ICH)的趋势和诱发风险因素,可以为现有和新出现的治疗方案提供更好的患者选择。研究对 2005-2020 年期间因急性 PE 住院的 816,653 例患者进行了分析。时间趋势分析显示,每年的发病率虽有波动,但总体上基本保持不变。随着年龄的增长,ICH的发病率也在增加。ICH 患者的合并症负担较重(Charlson-Comorbidity-Index [CCI],5.0 [4.0-7.0] vs. 4.0 [2.0-5.0];P < 0.001),较高的 CCI 与 ICH 的 OR 值 1.26(95%CI 1.24-1.27)相关。ICH 的其他独立危险因素包括年龄≥ 70 岁(OR 1.23 [1.12-1.34])、重度(相对于低风险)PE(OR 3.09 [2.84-3.35])、手术(OR 1.59 [1.47-1.72])、急性肾损伤(OR 3.60 [3.09-4.18])和缺血性卒中(OR 14.64 [12.61-17.00])。在不同的再灌注治疗组中,已确定的 ICH 风险因素各不相同。正如预期的那样,ICH 对 PE 的病死率有很大影响(OR 6.16 [5.64-6.72]; P < 0.001)。识别有 ICH 风险的患者可为不同的再灌注治疗选择量身定制的患者,并可预防 ICH。

Neurological diseases (ND), including neurodegenerative diseases (NDD) and psychiatric disorders (PD), present a significant public health challenge, ranking third in Europe for disability and premature death, following cardiovascular diseases and cancers. In 2017, approximately 540 million cases of ND were reported among Europe's 925 million people, with strokes, dementia, and headaches being most prevalent. Nowadays, more and more evidence highlight the hemostasis critical role in cerebral homeostasis and vascular events. Indeed, hemostasis, thrombosis, and brain abnormalities contributing to ND form a complex and poorly understood equilibrium. Alterations in vascular biology, particularly involving the blood-brain barrier, are implicated in ND, especially dementia, and PD. While the roles of key coagulation players such as thrombin and fibrinogen are established, the roles of other hemostasis components are less clear. Moreover, the involvement of these elements in psychiatric disease pathogenesis is virtually unstudied, except in specific pathological models such as antiphospholipid syndrome. Advanced imaging techniques, primarily functional magnetic resonance imaging and its derivatives like diffusion tensor imaging, have been developed to study brain areas affected by ND and to improve our understanding of the pathophysiology of these diseases. This literature review aims to clarify the current understanding of the connections between hemostasis, thrombosis, and neurological diseases, as well as explore potential future diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Background
Venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT), is a serious cardiovascular disease with significant mortality and morbidity. Clinically, patients with faster resolution of a venous thrombi have improved prognosis. Urokinase-plasminogen activator (uPA), produced by macrophages, is a key mediator of fibrinolysis required for resolving venous thrombi and restoring vascular integrity. The major macrophage protein, plasminogen activator inhibitor type-2 (PAI-2), was originally identified as an inhibitor of uPA and is implicated in the modulation of pathways affecting fibrinolytic uPA activity, however its direct role in blocking uPA-mediated clot lysis is not known.
Objective
To determine the contribution of macrophage PAI-2 in inhibiting uPA-mediated fibrinolysis during resolution of DVT.
Methods
Using a murine model of venous thrombosis and resolution, we determined histological changes and molecular features of fibrin degradation in venous thrombi from WT mice and mice genetically deficient in PAI-2 and PAI-1, and determined the fibrinolytic activities of macrophages from these genotypes ex vivo.
Results
Acceleration of venous thrombus resolution by PAI-2−/− mice increases fibrin degradation in venous thrombi showing a pattern similar to genetic deficiency of PAI-1, the major attenuator of fibrinolysis. PAI-2 deficiency was not associated with increased macrophage infiltration into thrombi or changes in macrophage PAI-1 expression. uPA-initiated fibrinolysis by macrophages in vitro could be accelerated by PAI-1 deficiency, but not PAI-2 deficiency.
Conclusion
PAI-2 has an alternate anti-fibrinolytic activity that is macrophage uPA independent, where PAI-1 is the dominant uPA inhibitor during DVT resolution.
