The coronavirus infection COVID-19 is a highly contagious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Specific prothrombotic changes of the hemostasis system in COVID-19 are associated with increased incidence of venous thromboembolic complications. The article is a literature review on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of coagulopathy and venous thromboembolic complications associated with COVID-19. 11 studies evaluating the frequency of registration of venous thromboembolic complications and 11 clinical recommendations on correction of coagulopathy published before May 22, 2020 have been studied. The frequency of venous thromboembolic complications was unexpectedly high: 8–13% in the general ward and 9–18% in the intensive care unit against the background of preventive measures. Preventive doses of anticoagulants, low-molecular weight heparins or unfractionated heparin are indicated to all hospitalized patients. Prolonged prophylaxis after discharge from hospital can be recommended for those at high risk of venous thromboembolic complications and low risk of bleeding. An increase in D-dimer may be considered as an indication for instrumental detection of venous thromboembolic complications. If there is a suspicion of venous thromboembolic complications, anticoagulant therapy at therapeutic doses can be started before the diagnosis is confirmed: during inpatient treatment preference should be given to low-molecular heparin or unfractionated heparin, after discharge from hospital it is recommended to transfer to direct oral anticoagulants for a period of at least 3 months. Routine prevention of venous thromboembolic complications in ambulatory patients is not recommended.

Risks Assessment

Lymphomas represent a heterogeneous group of malignant hematological diseases with high risk for development of venous thromboembolic complications (VTE). Consequently, VTE significantly impacts morbidity and mortality in these patients. Another concern is the financial burden of the healthcare system caused by diagnostic and therapeutic procedures of cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT). The complex biology of lymphoma, in conjunction with patient and treatment related risk factors for the development of VTE, results in a procoagulant hemostatic dysregulation. Considering the incidence of VTE in patients with lymphoma, there is an emerging demand for both reliable risks assessment model (RAM) for prediction of VTE, as well as for effective VTE prophylaxis and treatment. The clinical course of patients with malignant diseases is accompanied by a wide range of potential treatment complications, making the task of prevention and treatment of VTE even more challenging. In recent years, great progress has been achieved in understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms of thrombotic complications, while the significant number of randomized controlled trials (RCT) have provided standards of prophylaxis and treatment of VTE complications in patients with malignancy. In comparison to previous recommendations and guidelines for CAT, the use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) has been gradually approaching low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) in terms of efficacy and safety profile in these indications. This systematic review is focused on the latest pathophysiological advances, risk factors assessment, prophylactic and therapeutic recommendations and guidelines concerning VTE in patients with lymphoma.

The Individual

For more than 50 years, oral vitamin K antagonists were the choice of anticoagulant for the long-term treatment and prevention of arterial and venous thromboembolic events. In recent years, four direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban and edoxaban have been compared with warfarin for thromboembolism prevention. These anticoagulants directly inhibit specific proteins within the coagulation cascade; in contrast, oral vitamin K antagonists inhibit the synthesis of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors. Dabigatran, a direct thrombin inhibitor, and rivaroxaban, apixaban and edoxaban, the factor Xa inhibitors, produce a more predictable, less labile anticoagulant effect. DOACs do not have limitations inherent vitamin K antagonists. DOACs have a predictable pharmacokinetic profile and are free of advers drugs reactions inherent in vitamin K antagonists. However, it is necessary to take into account the pharmacogenetic characteristics of the individual that can affect effectiveness and safety of use of DOACs. The results carried out to the present fundamental and clinical studies of DOACs studies demonstrate an undeniable the influence of genome changes on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of DOACs. However, the studies need to be continued. There is a need to plan and conduct larger studies in various ethnic groups with the inclusion of sufficient associative genetic studies of the number of patients in each of the documented groups treatments with well-defined phenotypes.

Введение. Поступление вируса SARS-CoV-2 в организм человека сопровождается развитием COVID-19-ассоциированной коагулопатии, часто реализующейся в различных тромботических осложнениях. Актуальные клинические рекомендации описывают основные подходы к лечению и профилактике венозных тромбоэмболических осложнений (ВТЭО), однако реализация их не всегда представляется возможной. В реальной практике встречается значительное количество отклонений и нарушений, в том числе носящих системный характер, связанных как с ограниченностью представлений клиницистов о патогенетических аспектах развития инфекционного процесса, так и с избыточным желанием предотвратить отдельные из них. Цель исследования: изучение состояния реальной клинической практики в области лечения и профилактики развития тромботических осложнений у пациентов c новой коронавирусной инфекцией COVID-19 (НКИ COVID-19). Материалы и методы. В основе работы лежит анонимный опрос 223 врачей-специалистов, занимающихся лечением пациентов с хроническими и острыми заболеваниями сосудов. В опросник включено 18 вопросов, описывающих отношение врачей к проблеме в целом, а также касающихся выбора тактики лечения, применения антикоагулянтных препаратов и методов контроля системы гемостаза. Результаты. Подавляющее большинство участников опроса информированы и озадачены увеличением риска тромботических осложнений при НКИ COVID-19. При этом приоритетной целью антикоагулянтной терапии (АКТ) в острой фазе заболевания участники назвали лечение COVID-19-ассоциированной коагулопатии, а в стадии реконвалесценции — профилактику ВТЭО. Максимальную степень доверия при назначении АКТ имеют низкомолекулярные гепарины. Прямые оральные антикоагулянты, несмотря на отсутствие качественных рандомизированных исследований, подтверждающих их эффективность, большая часть врачей использует на амбулаторном этапе. Вызывает озабоченность значительный разброс вариантов и невысокий процент корректных ответов в вопросах, посвященных лабораторному контролю за системой гемостаза при АКТ. Заключение. Выполненный нами анализ свидетельствует о существенном расхождении реального применения антикоагулянтных препаратов у пациентов с НКИ COVID-19 с действующими клиническими рекомендациями. Кроме того, полученные результаты свидетельствуют о необходимости повышения уровня образованности практикующих специалистов в вопросах свертывания крови. Background. The SARS-CoV-2 virus invasion lead to COVID-19-associated coagulopathy accompanied with increased incidence of thrombotic complications. Current clinical guidelines give the main approaches to the treatment and prevention of them; however their implementation is not always possible in practice. In fact, there are a lot of violations including with a systemic genesis and associated either with the low understanding of infectious process pathogenesis aspects by clinicians or with their excessive desire to prevent coagulation disturbances. the revealing of real clinical practice conditions in the treatment and prevention of thrombotic complications in patients with coronavirus infection COVID-19. Materials/Methods. We provided an anonymous poll for 223 experts treating patients with chronic and acute vascular diseases. The questionnaire included 18 questions to identify as the experts attitude to this challenge as a whole as well as to their choice of treatment tactics, and anticoagulant drugs, and methods of laboratory monitoring of blood coagulation. Results. Most participants know the increased risk of thrombotic complications in COVID-19 and they are puzzled by it The treatment of COVID-19-associated coagulopathy is considered as the priority goal of anticoagulant therapy in the acute phase of COVID-19 whereas the prevention of venous thromboembolic complications is noted as main goal in convalescences. Low molecular weight heparins have gotten the highest confidence in the administration among anticoagulants. In turn, the most of experts use direct oral anticoagulants in outpatients even despite no confirmation is for DOAC’s effectiveness from randomized trials in this time. Besides it was revealed wide spread of opinions and low count of correct responses about laboratory control of the hemostatic system and anticoagulants. Conclusion. The analysis showed a serious inconsistency between the real anticoagulants administration in patients with COVID-19 and the recommendations of clinical guidelines. This circumstance obviates the need to raise educational level of physicians and surgeons in the field of blood coagulation.

Aim. To study the frequency of prescribing antithrombotic agents in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) in real clinical practice, to evaluate changes of prescriptions from 2012 till 2020.Material and methods. The medical records of inpatients (Form 003/y) with the diagnosis AF, hospitalized in the cardiological department were analyzed. According to the inclusion criteria, the patients were over 18 years of age, established diagnosis of non-valvular AF. There were two exclusion criteria: congenital and acquired valvular heart disease and prosthetic heart valves. In retrospective analysis we have included 263 case histories in 2012, 502 ones in 2016 and 524 in 2020. CHA2DS2-VASc score was used for individual stroke risk assessment in AF. The rational use of the antithrombotic therapy was evaluated according with current clinical practice guidelines at analyzing moment.Results. During period of observation the frequency of antiplatelet therapy significantly decreased from 25,5% to 5,5% (р<0.001), decreased the frequency of administration of warfarin from 71,9% to 18,3% (р<0.001). The frequency of use of direct oral anticoagulants increased in 2020 compared to 2016 (р<0.001). For patients with a high risk of stroke anticoagulant therapy was administered in 71.8% of cases in 2012, 88.5% in 2016 and 92.5% in 2020. Before discharge from hospital majority of patients (72%) achieved a desired minimum international normalized ratio (INR) from 2.0 to 3.0 in 2012. In 2016 and 2020 an only 33% and 40.6% of patients achieved INR (2.0-3.0).Conclusion. Doctors have become more committed to following clinical guidelines during the period of the investigation. In 2020 antithrombotic therapy for atrial fibrillation was suitable according to current clinical guidelines.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), comprising deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, is a common condition associated with a significant clinical and economic burden. Anticoagulant therapy is the mainstay of treatment for VTE. Current guidelines recommend the use of either low molecular weight heparins or fondaparinux overlapping with and followed by a vitamin K antagonist for the initial treatment of VTE, with the vitamin K antagonist continued when long-term anticoagulation is required. These traditional anticoagulants have practical limitations that have led to the development of direct oral anticoagulants that directly target either Factor Xa or thrombin and are administered at a fixed dose without the need for routine coagulation monitoring. The paper reviews results of the trials of apixaban application for treatment and/or long-term secondary prevention of VTE. The paper analyses effectiveness and safety of apixaban in different groups of patients, as well as features of apixaban application in every day practice.
