Subject: SURVEY: Patterns of prescription of oral anticoagulants … for the treatment of DVT

Dear all,

Anticoagulation is the mainstay of treatment for splanchnic vein thrombosis. Conventional anticoagulant options include unfractionated or low molecular weight heparin, eventually followed by vitamin K antagonists.

There is increasing evidence showing that direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are efficient and safe to treat splanchnic vein thrombosis for the initial 3 to 6 months. However, evidence is lacking on the optimal dose of long-term anticoagulation for secondary prevention after the initial treatment.

In this survey, we would like to find out whether and when you would consider DOAC dose reduction (i.e., apixaban 2.5 mg twice daily or rivaroxaban 10 mg once daily) after the initial 3 to 6 months of treatment for symptomatic splanchnic vein thrombosis.

You are being asked to participate because you are a practicing physician expert in management of patients with SVT. It will take you approximately 10 minutes to complete this survey and we hope that you will be willing to answer all questions. All the answers will be kept anonymous, all data will be analyzed in aggregate form and cannot be traced back to individual participants.

Should you have any questions regarding this survey, please contact Dr. Aurélien Delluc at adelluc@toh.ca

Thank you for participating!
