- Brief Summary
Little data are available on the genital haemorrhages in woman of childbearing age treated for venous thromboembolic disease by oral anticoagulant, especially the impact on the quality of life. A recent systematic review in 2016 described for the first time in patients with venous thromboembolic a lower incidence in men of major haemorrhages and minor haemorrhages but clinically significant compared with women (5,3% and 7,9% respectively; RR: 0,635, 95%CI 0,54-0,74 ; p\<0,001). It appears that this difference is related to genital haemorrhages and some direct oral anticoagulants are more associated with hemorrhagic surge. In post-hoc analyzes of phases III trials, rivaroxaban was most of the time associated with genital haemorrhages compared to vitamine K antagonists, effect not found with apixaban. Four other retrospective studies seem to find the same conclusions with a higher haemorrhagic risk with the rivaroxaban than with vitamine K antagonist or apixaban.
However, haemorrhagic risk is defined in these studies with criteria of severity (anemia, transfusion, use of a health professional, menstrual periods of more than 8 days, inter mentrual bleeding, presence of blood clots) and these studies do not take into account of minor haemorrhages that may affect on the quality of life and asthenia due to anemia.
Our objective is : 1- studying the proportion of women with abnormal genital haemorrhages among women of childbearing age treated for venous thromboembolism disease by oral anticoagulant including using a semi quantitative score of menorrhagia. 2- To compare this proportion according to the three molecules of oral anticoagulants (antivitamin K, rivaroxaban and apixaban) and compare the molecules two by two and 3- to evaluate the impact of these haemorrhages on the quality of life. Our study would have a control group of women of childbearing age followed in vascular medicine for superficial venous insufficiency without thrombosis and without oral anticoagulant because the proportion of genital haemorrhages in women of childbearing age in PACA region is not known.
