Associations between polymorphisms in coagulation-related genes and venous thromboembolism: A meta-analysis with trial sequential analysis.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Recently, several studies showed that the polymorphisms in the coagulation-related genes might be associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE); however, the results were still controversial. We performed a meta-analysis with trial sequential analysis to investigate the associations between the endothelial cell-activated protein C receptor (EPCR) rs9574, F11 rs2289252, F11 rs2036914, FGG rs2066865, FGG rs1049636, CYP4V2 rs13146272, SERPINC1 rs2227589, and GP6 rs1613662 polymorphisms with the risk of VTE. METHODS:We searched both the common English-language databases and the Chinese literature databases. Two authors selected studies according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Crude odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated to estimate the strength of this association. Between-study heterogeneity was assessed with the chi-square-based Q test and the I statistic. RESULTS:Overall, a total of 20 studies were included. The meta-analysis revealed that the F11 rs2289252, F11 rs2036914, FGG rs2066865, and CYP4V2 rs13146272 polymorphisms were closely related to the development of VTE in the white race under the best genetic models after multiple testing adjustments. The EPCR rs9574, FGG rs1049636, SERPINC1 rs2227589, and GP6 rs1613662 polymorphisms might be potential candidates in the pathogenesis of VTE, but trial sequential analyses and sensitivity analyses indicated that the evidences were limited. Larger scale studies were demanded to avoid false-positive outcomes. CONCLUSIONS:Finally, our study demonstrated the important role of rs2289252, rs2036914, rs2066865, and rs13146272 polymorphisms in the development of VTE in the white race. Rs9574, rs1049636, rs2227589 and rs1613662 polymorphisms might be risk factors of VTE. However, more studies involving diverse races are needed to probe the ethnic difference and the underlying mechanisms of significant associations.

Project description:BackgroundThe efficacy, safety, and clinical importance of extended-duration thromboprophylaxis (EDT) for prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in medical patients remain unclear. We compared the efficacy and safety of EDT in patients hospitalized for medical illness.Methods and findingsElectronic databases of PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched from inception to March 21, 2019. We included randomized clinical trials (RCTs) reporting use of EDT for prevention of VTE. We performed trial sequential and cumulative meta-analyses to evaluate EDT effects on the primary efficacy endpoint of symptomatic VTE or VTE-related death, International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) major or fatal bleeding, and all-cause mortality. The pooled number needed to treat (NNT) to prevent one symptomatic or fatal VTE event and the number needed to harm (NNH) to cause one major or fatal bleeding event were calculated. Across 5 RCTs with 40,247 patients (mean age: 67-77 years, proportion of women: 48%-54%, most common reason for admission: heart failure), the duration of EDT ranged from 24-47 days. EDT reduced symptomatic VTE or VTE-related death compared with standard of care (0.8% versus 1.2%; risk ratio [RR]: 0.61, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.44-0.83; p = 0.002). EDT increased risk of ISTH major or fatal bleeding (0.6% versus 0.3%; RR: 2.04, 95% CI: 1.42-2.91; p < 0.001) in both meta-analyses and trial sequential analyses. Pooled NNT to prevent one symptomatic VTE or VTE-related death was 250 (95% CI: 167-500), whereas NNH to cause one major or fatal bleeding event was 333 (95% CI: 200-1,000). Limitations of the study include variation in enrollment criteria, individual therapies, duration of EDT, and VTE detection protocols across included trials.ConclusionsIn this systematic review and meta-analysis of 5 randomized trials, we observed that use of a post-hospital discharge EDT strategy for a 4-to-6-week period reduced symptomatic or fatal VTE events at the expense of increased risk of major or fatal bleeding. Further investigations are still required to define the risks and benefits in discrete medically ill cohorts, evaluate cost-effectiveness, and develop pathways for targeted implementation of this postdischarge EDT strategy.Trial registrationPROSPERO CRD42018109151.

Project description:BackgroundSequelae of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in children include recurrence, development of post thrombotic syndrome (PTS) when venous return from a limb is affected and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) after pulmonary embolism. Identification of laboratory-based risk factors may be useful for individualized risk assessment for VTE sequelae. Coagulation activation and inflammation may contribute to their pathophysiology. We performed a systematic review to investigate the association between biomarkers of coagulation activation, inflammation and fibrinolysis and adverse VTE outcomes in children and young adults.MethodsA systematic search of electronic databases, PubMed (NIH), EMBASE (Ovid), Web of Science (Thompson Reuters), and SCOPUS (Elsevier) for studies published through November 2016 was conducted using "VTE" including MeSH terms for "coagulation activation," "inflammation" and "fibrinolysis," with no limit on publication date. A study was eligible for inclusion when it evaluated patients (< 21years) with VTE and biomarkers of coagulation activation, inflammation, and fibrinolysis and assessed for their association with development of adverse thrombotic outcomes. A modified Newcastle Ottawa Scale was applied to examine the quality of included studies.ResultsOur search strategy yielded 200 references. A total of 3 cohort studies representing 220 patients with VTE were included. Two authors independently assessed all references for inclusion. Three studies (2 prospective cohort and one mixed cohort study) were identified that reported on biomarkers of coagulation activation, inflammation and fibrinolysis, checked at least once after VTE diagnosis and assessed association with primary outcomes of recurrent VTE, PTS and CTEPH. Studies varied with regards to definition of outcomes, the type of biomarkers measured and time point of measurement. We were unable to meta-analyze results due to marked clinical heterogeneity and <3 studies available for each biomarker. Descriptively, a significant association was found for elevated plasma levels of FVIII and D-dimer for a compound outcome of PTS, recurrence and progression in one study, and positive lupus anticoagulant at DVT diagnosis and subsequent PTS by another study. No studies were found for CTEPH.ConclusionsElevated D-dimer, FVIII and lupus anticoagulant show promise for predicting recurrent VTE and PTS in children and young adults. Further research is needed to elucidate whether these markers might be useful to predict development of adverse outcomes after VTE in children.

Project description:BackgroundTo investigate the risk factors for postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients undergoing spinal surgery.MethodsLiterature published in PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science was systematically reviewed to assess risk factors for VTE following spinal surgery. The data analysis was conducted with STATA 12.0. Data were pooled using fixed-effects or random-effects models according to the heterogeneity among the included studies.ResultsTwenty-six studies involving 3,216,187 patients were included in this meta-analysis, and the total incidence of VTE after spinal surgery was 0.35% (0.15-29.38%). The pooled analysis suggested that the incidence of VTE after spinal surgery was higher in such aspects as increasing age (weighted mean difference [WMD] 0.55 years, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.33-0.78, P < .001), female sex (odds ratio [OR] 1.12, 95% CI 1.01-1.25; P = .034), diabetes (OR 1.34, 95% CI 1.29-1.44; P < .001), chronic kidney disease (OR = 8.31, 95% CI 1.98-34.93; P = .004), nonambulatory preoperative activity status (OR 3.67, 95% CI 2.75-4.83; P < .001), D-dimer level (WMD 1.023, 95% CI 0.162-1.884; P = .02), long duration of operation (WMD 0.73, 95% CI 0.21-1.24; P = .006), spine fusion (OR 1.54, 95% CI 1.31-1.82; P < .001), and blood transfusion (OR 2.31, 95% CI 1.73-3.07; P < .001), and the differences were statistically significant. However, there were no significant differences in body mass index, obesity, hypertension, coronary heart disease, spondylolisthesis, intraoperative blood loss, surgical procedures (anterior lumbar interbody fusion vs posterior intervertebral fusion /translaminar lumbar interbody fusion), or surgical site (lumbar vs thoracic) (all P > .05).ConclusionBased on our meta-analysis, we identified several important factors that increased the risk of VTE after spinal surgery. We hope our study provides assistance to spine surgeons so that they can adequately analyze and assess risk factors in patients and then develop preventive measures to reduce the incidence of VTE.
