Bleeding In Thrombocytopenia Explained (BITE)

Detailed Description
Rationale: Hemato-oncological patients treated with intensive chemotherapy receive prophylactic platelet transfusions to prevent bleeding events as soon as their platelet counts drop below 10 x109/L. This platelet count based prophylactic transfusion strategy, however, is both inefficient and often not needed. This is reflected in the high percentage of patients with bleeding despite this strategy (43%), and the high percentage of patients who do not bleed without this strategy (50%). Solely platelet count therefore is not a good predictor for bleeding. Identification of new risk factors and confirmation of already suspected risk factors is essential, and should lead to better prediction and prevention of bleeding. Patients with a high risk profile could be given more effective haemostatic treatments including more efficient transfusion strategies. On the other hand one could consider omitting prophylactic transfusions to low risk patients and conditions. Furthermore, additional knowledge about the pathophysiology of bleeding in hemato-oncology patients is needed.
Objective: Identify hemato-oncology patients and conditions with a high versus a low bleeding risk and investigate the association of bleeding related biomarkers with bleeding.
Study design: Case cohort study, consisting of two parts: epidemiologically research including short questionnaire (part A, eligible for all patients fulfilling inclusion criteria), and additional blood and urine sampling (part B, eligible only for included patients admitted for chemotherapy or stem cell transplantation).
Study population: Adult hemato-oncology patients: 1.) who are admitted for treatment and who have or will develop thrombocytopenia and are likely to receive one or more prophylactic platelet transfusions, and 2.) patients who have received such treatments in the last year but are readmitted to the hospital for disease or treatment related adverse events.
Intervention: Part A: standard available data collection, short questionnaire. Part B: sampling of blood and urine on top of routinely performed laboratory tests.
Main study parameters: Part A: The presence of clinical factors and results of routinely performed laboratory tests compared between bleeding versus non-bleeding patients. Part B: Presence of markers for coagulation-, platelet- and endothelial or vascular dysfunction compared between bleeding versus non-bleeding patients.
Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Part A: No burden or health risks: comparison of standard available data between bleeding and non-bleeding patients makes this a non-WMO part of the study, since there is no invasive intervention. The 10-15 minutes questionnaire in this respect is not considered as a burden. Part B of the study only applies for a subgroup of the included patients and falls under the scope of the WMO. The intervention is the additional to regularly performed citrate anticoagulated blood sampling (maximum 10 samples of 10-15 cc in 4 weeks), as well as weekly urine sampling. Both are considered a minor burden for participants, and the risk of additional blood sampling at regular sampling moments is negligible. Finally, all BITE-study activities in both study parts will not have any consequences on the treatment or monitoring of patients.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Clinically relevant bleeding events
Time Frame: Bleeding must occur during hospital admission, which on average will be 3-4 weeks.
|
Bleeding events that are clinically relevant. i.e. all WHO grade 3 and 4 bleedings, as well as WHO grade 2 bleedings that lead to substantial additional medical care (ISTH criteria). We will quantify the association of possible risk factors for bleeding with this primary outcome. These risk factors are listed in the protocol. |
