An antithrombotic stewardship program was implemented to reduce IV DTI use and increase fondaparinux and direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) use for suspected or confirmed Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). This study evaluated the impact of an antithrombotic stewardship program on IV DTI utilization in patients with HIT. A retrospective analysis of adults receiving IV DTIs or fondaparinux from July 2016 to July 2017 (pre-stewardship) and October 2017 to July 2019 (post-stewardship) was conducted. The median duration of IV DTI administration was not significantly different in HIT-negative patients between the pre- and post-stewardship cohorts (1.6 days (25th percentile (p25), 75th percentile (p75): .5, 3.3) vs 1.7 days (p25, p75: .9, 3.9), = .31). The median duration of IV DTI administration in HIT-positive patients was 9.9 days (p25, p75: 7.6, 21.0) pre-stewardship and 7.3 days (p25, p75: 4.8, 16.5) post-stewardship ( = .18). For HIT-positive patients, the time from HIT diagnosis to discharge was 12.8 days (p25, p75: 8.9, 24.9) and 9.2 days (p25, p75: 4.0, 18.1) in the pre- and post-stewardship cohorts, respectively ( = .07). Fondaparinux and DOAC prescribing rates were 40.7% and 62.2% in the pre- and post-stewardship cohorts, respectively ( = .09). The percentage of patients with no contraindications to IV DTI alternatives receiving these agents increased from 31.2% to 78.6% ( = .01) following stewardship implementation. Intravenous DTI alternative utilization increased significantly after stewardship implementation. Stewardship implementation was associated with a non-statistically significant trend towards decreased IV DTI utilization and decreased length of stay for HIT-positive patients.
实施了一种抗血栓治疗管理计划,以减少 IV DTI 的使用,并增加依诺肝素和直接口服抗凝剂(DOAC)在疑似或确诊肝素诱导血小板减少症(HIT)患者中的使用。本研究评估了抗血栓治疗管理计划对 HIT 患者中 IV DTI 使用的影响。对 2016 年 7 月至 2017 年 7 月(管理前)和 2017 年 10 月至 2019 年 7 月(管理后)期间接受 IV DTI 或依诺肝素治疗的成年人进行了回顾性分析。在 HIT 阴性患者中,管理前后队列的 IV DTI 治疗中位持续时间无显著差异(1.6 天(25 百分位数(p25),75 百分位数(p75):0.5,3.3)与 1.7 天(p25,p75:0.9,3.9),=.31)。HIT 阳性患者的 IV DTI 治疗中位持续时间为 9.9 天(p25,p75:7.6,21.0),管理后为 7.3 天(p25,p75:4.8,16.5)(=.18)。对于 HIT 阳性患者,从 HIT 诊断到出院的时间分别为管理前队列的 12.8 天(p25,p75:8.9,24.9)和管理后队列的 9.2 天(p25,p75:4.0,18.1)(=.07)。在管理前后队列中,依诺肝素和 DOAC 的处方率分别为 40.7%和 62.2%(=.09)。有 IV DTI 替代药物使用无禁忌证的患者比例从 31.2%增加到 78.6%(=.01),实施管理后。在实施管理后,IV DTI 替代药物的使用显著增加。管理实施与 HIT 阳性患者 IV DTI 使用率和住院时间减少呈非统计学趋势相关。
