DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS

This study tested a medical device designed to improve blood circulation in people at risk for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and in healthy individuals. 59 adults who did not have DVT at the start used the device once. Researchers measured changes in blood flow speed and vein size u…

This study tested whether taking a low dose of the blood thinner apixaban for a longer time could prevent blood clots from returning in people who already had a clot caused by a temporary risk factor (like surgery or immobility). 600 adults at high risk for another clot were rand…

This study tested a device called CGM MB-1701 to see if it can improve blood circulation in people at risk for deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a condition where blood clots form in deep veins. 60 adults who did not have DVT at the start used the device. Researchers measured changes i…

This study tested a mobile app called ThinkSono Guidance that helps healthcare workers without ultrasound training, like nurses, perform scans to detect blood clots in the legs. Over 600 adults with symptoms of deep vein thrombosis took part. The app successfully guided users to …

This study tested a new approach to diagnose whether a blood clot in the leg has come back. Instead of relying on old methods that can be confusing, doctors used a special ultrasound (color Doppler) and a blood test (D-Dimer) together. Out of 466 adults with a history of deep vei…

This study looked at whether starting physiotherapy early is possible and helpful for people hospitalized with a first-time deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the leg. Currently, physiotherapy is not standard practice for DVT in Denmark. The study enrolled 24 adults and measured how m…

This study looked at whether a common tool called the Wells score can accurately predict deep vein thrombosis (a type of blood clot) in hospitalized patients, especially those already taking blood thinners. Researchers compared the score's performance between specialists and gene…

This study looked at how primary care doctors use genetic test results to decide on the right dose of a blood-thinner drug (warfarin) for virtual patients of different races and backgrounds. Nearly 200 doctors took part in a 60-minute virtual reality session. The goal was to unde…

This study looked at whether ultrasound can correctly confirm a new blood clot in the same leg as a previous one. Researchers checked 18 adults with a history of deep vein thrombosis who had a suspected new clot. They compared ultrasound images taken at the start and after 3 mont…

This study looked at 744 people who had a blood clot before to see if doctors can better predict when a new clot will happen. Researchers tested three different checklists (called clinical decision rules) to see how well they work. The goal is to help doctors correctly diagnose n…

This study looked at whether a blood test done before hip or knee replacement surgery can predict the risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (a dangerous blood clot). Researchers measured thrombin generation in 146 adults. The goal was to see if the test could identify who is at…

This study tested a computer tool called DOACT that helps doctors choose the right blood thinner for patients with blood clots in the legs or lungs. Doctors and AI models answered questions about fake patient cases, with and without the tool. The goal was to see if the tool impro…
