Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) is associated with a high incidence of venous and arterial thromboembolic events. Currently, there are no clinical or laboratory markers that predict thrombotic risk. Circulating immature platelets are hyper-reactive platelets, which are associated with arterial thrombotic events. The aim of this study was to assess whether the proportion of circulating immature platelets is associated with disease severity in Covid-19 patients. Patients admitted with Covid-19 disease were prospectively assessed. Immature platelet count (IPC) and immature platelet fraction (IPF) were measured at admission and at additional time points during the hospital course using the Sysmex XN-3000 auto-analyzer. A total of 136 consecutive patients with Covid-19 were recruited [mean age 60 ± 19 years, 49% woman, 56 (41%) had mild-moderate disease and 80 (59%) had severe disease at presentation]. The median IPF% was higher in patients with severe compared to mild-moderate disease [5.8 (3.9–8.7) vs. 4.2 (2.73–6.45), respectively, p = 0.01]. The maximal IPC value was also higher in patients with severe disease [15 (10.03–21.56), vs 10.9 (IQR 6.79–15.62), respectively, p = 0.001]. Increased IPC was associated with increased length of hospital stay. Patients with severe Covid-19 have higher levels of IPF than patients with mild-moderate disease. IPF may serve as a prognostic marker for disease severity in Covid-19 patients.

Bei Immuntherapien das erhöhte Thromboserisiko beachten

Unter modernen Systemtherapien versechsfacht sich das VTE-Risiko. Warum diese Daten relevant für die Behandlung krebsassoziierter Thrombosen sind, erläutert Prof. F. Langer im Interview. So kann es durch Immuntherapien zu inflammatorischen Syndromen z.B. im GI-Trakt kommen. Nebenwirkungen wie Durchfall oder Mukositis haben dann Einfluss auf die Wirksamkeit oraler Antikoagulantien. Aber auch in punkto Blutungsrisiko ist Vorsicht geboten. Wann hier bevorzugt NMH eingesetzt werden sollten, erläutert Prof. Langer im Interview.

CAT-Management ist ganz einfach – oder doch nicht?

Krebsassoziierte venöse Thromboembolien (CAT) haben in den vergangenen Jahren stetig zugenommen. Was hat der Anstieg mit modernen Antitumortherapien zu tun? Venöse Thromboembolien sind relevante Morbiditäts- und Mortalitätsfaktoren in der Onkologie. Besonders hoch sind die Risiken bei Tumoren des Abdominalraums. Eine antithrombotische Primärprophylaxe ist daher gerade bei gastrointestinalen (GI-) Tumoren auch im ambulanten Setting wichtig.

Management von Thromboembolien bei Krebspatienten

Die Thromboembolie ist neben Infektionen die zweithäufigste Todesursache bei Krebspatienten. Die Behandlung der CAT (cancer associated thrombosis) ist komplex und orientiert sich am individuellen Patienten. Angesichts einer Vielzahl zur Verfügung stehender medikamentöser Behandlungsoptionen finden Sie hier Video-Experteninterviews, Sonderpublikationen und aktuelle Behandlungsalgorithmen zur Therapieentscheidung auf Basis von Expertenempfehlungen.
