Awards & highlights

Summary

This trial is testing a new algorithm that uses patient age and blood test results to identify patients who may benefit from a blood thinner to decrease their risk of blood clots. The trial will evaluate the use

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients recently discharged from the hospital who are at high risk of developing blood clots, such as deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, but have a low risk of bleeding. Specific eligibility criteria details were not provided.
What is being tested?
The study tests if an EHR alert about prescribing rivaroxaban to reduce blood clot risks affects clinician behavior and patient outcomes. Hospitals will activate this alert in monthly blocks to compare results.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not detailed here, common side effects of rivaroxaban include bleeding complications, dizziness, headache, elevated liver enzymes, and allergic reactions.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: At-risk patients for which an alert is sent during the intervention phaseExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients found to be at an increased risk for VTE but a low risk for bleeding (based upon eVTE risk assessment), thereby meeting criteria for alerting during the intervention phase
Group II: At-risk patients during the baseline phaseActive Control1 Intervention
Patients found to be at an increased risk for VTE but a low risk for bleeding (based upon eVTE risk assessment), and who meet criteria for alerting, but for whom no alert is sent during the baseline phase
