Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia: Development and Validation of a Predictive Clinical

Completed
Conditions
Heparin-induced Thrombocytopenia
Registration Number
NCT00748839
Lead Sponsor
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne
Brief Summary

Although Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a rare complication of heparin treatment, it results in a high rate of morbidity and mortality, the cumulative rate of thrombosis recurrence, amputation and death approaching 52 % at one month if no specific treatment is initiated. It is therefore vital to diagnose HIT as early and as reliably as possible to permit appropriate management of this rare condition.

During the acute phase of HIT, clinicians and biologists can only suspect this complication with a greater or lesser degree of confidence. Clinical data are not sufficiently sensitive or specific to confirm or refute thr diagnosis of HIT.

Detailed Description

Purpose : To create and validate a score predicting the diagnosis of HIT
