Precautions during Direct Oral Anticoagulant Introduction in Gynecologic Malignancies: A Single-Center Retrospective Cohort Study

The risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE) recurrence/exacerbation or a change from a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) to another anticoagulant in patients with gynecologic cancer using DOACs have not been thoroughly elucidated. Here, we aimed to investigate the risk factors for a composite p...

description The risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE) recurrence/exacerbation or a change from a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) to another anticoagulant in patients with gynecologic cancer using DOACs have not been thoroughly elucidated. Here, we aimed to investigate the risk factors for a composite primary outcome, including VTE recurrence/exacerbation, or a change from a DOAC to another anticoagulant, in this population. A total of 63 patients were analyzed. Risk factors for a primary outcome within 2 years after DOAC initiation were investigated using multiple logistic regression analysis. Among the 63 patients, 10 developed a primary outcome. Clear cell carcinoma of the ovary (adjusted odds ratio (aOR), 18.9; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.25–350.74), pulmonary embolism (PE) or proximal deep vein thrombosis without PE (aOR, 55.6; 95% CI, 3.29–11,774.66), and D-dimer levels in the third tertile (≥7.6 μg/dL) when VTE was first diagnosed (aOR, 6.37; 95% CI, 1.17–66.61) were associated with increased odds of a primary outcome in patients with gynecologic cancer using DOACs. Patients with one or more risk factors for a primary outcome require careful follow-up after DOAC initiation for the early recognition of treatment failure.
