Dose escalation of low molecular weight heparin to manage recurrent venous thromboembolic events despite systemic anticoagulation in cancer patients
TL;DR: Cancer patients with recurrent VTE have a short median survival, and Escalating the dose of LMWH can be effective for treating cases that are resistant to standard, weight‐adjusted doses of LM WH or a VKA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of the warfarin maintenance dose after completion of the 10 mg initiation nomogram: do we really need genotyping?
G. Le Gal,Marc Carrier,Marc Carrier,S. Tierney,H. Majeed,Marc A. Rodger,Marc A. Rodger,P. S. Wells,P. S. Wells +8 more
TL;DR: In outpatients initiated on warfarin using a ‘10‐mg nomogram’, a simple prediction rule can accurately predict warFarin maintenance dose, and prospective studies employing the rule are indicated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dose escalation of low molecular weight heparin to manage recurrent venous thromboemblic events despite systemic anticoagulation in cancer patients
TL;DR: Escalating the dose of LMWH can be effective for treating cases that are resistant to standard, weight-adjusted doses of low molecular weight heparins or a vitamin K antagonists, as well as for patients with a poor prognosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feasibility of a multidisciplinary Transitional Pain Service in spine surgery patients to minimise opioid use and improve perioperative outcomes: a quality improvement study
S. Tierney,Marie-Claude Magnan,Amin Zahrai,Daniel I. McIsaac,Patricia A. Poulin,Alexandra Stratton +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluated the feasibility of a Transitional Pain Service (TPS) in patients undergoing spine surgery and found that patients had similar or lower OME at programme discharge than at intake.
