TL;DR
This study compares the effectiveness, safety, and costs of different anticoagulant treatments for pulmonary thromboembolism over one year in a hospital setting.
Contribution
The study provides real-world data on the comparative efficacy, safety, and cost of LMWH, warfarin, and DOACs in PTE treatment over a year.
Findings
LMWH, warfarin, and DOACs showed similar efficacy, safety, and patient adherence in PTE treatment.
LMWH had significantly higher annual costs compared to DOACs and warfarin.
One-year mortality was 24.6%, with most deaths occurring within the first three months.
Abstract
ABSTRACT Analysis of one-year follow-up results and treatment costs of patients with PTE in a tertiary care center Introduction: Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is a life-threatening disease, with substantial treatment-related complications, difficult follow-up, treatment compliance, and high costs. This study aimed to assess treatment costs with various maintenance therapy regimens, complications, and patient adherence to treatment over a one-year follow-up period. Materials and Methods: This observational, prospective study included 142 patients with PTE who received maintenance anticoagulation therapy between November 2020 and March 2023. The patients were observed at three-month intervals for a year. Possible treatment-related complications, recurrence, mortality, and treatment costs were recorded. Results: Our results showed that there was no significant difference in…
