A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial of intravenous thiamine for prevention of delirium following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
2021, Journal of Psychosomatic ResearchCitation Excerpt :WE has become increasingly recognized across many medical conditions and settings [14,16–19], including after HSCT [20–22]. However, accurate estimates of its prevalence in HSCT and in most other medical populations are lacking, as the clinical triad of ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and mental status changes are observed in fewer than 20% of affected patients [23–25]. High dose intravenous (IV) thiamine, defined as at least 200 mg IV three times daily (TID) until symptoms resolve, is recommended for treatment of WE [26–28], and has preliminary evidence for improving a variety of cognitive symptoms in oncology inpatient settings [29,30].
Design of a randomized placebo controlled trial of high dose intravenous thiamine for the prevention of delirium in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
2020, Contemporary Clinical TrialsCitation Excerpt :WE is a condition, classically described in chronic alcoholism, in which thiamine deficiency leads to a triad of clinical signs, including ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and mental status changes. However, all three signs are identified in fewer than 20% of affected patients [7–9]. In the past 20 years, awareness of the potential for thiamine deficiency to lead to delirium without the other physical signs of WE has increased [10,11].
