About this trial

The purpose of this pragmatic interventional study is to evaluate whether a protocol-based management of antithrombotic drugs can reduce a composite of perioperative outcomes in patients with chronic antithrombotic therapy before surgery.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

1. Patients with continuing antithrombotic therapy (including antiplatelet and/or anticoagulant therapies) for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases for more than 2 weeks.

2. Patients who have one or more of the following situations: (1) non-valvular atrial fibrillation with a CHA2DS2-VASc score >4; (2) post-artificial valve replacement (including mitral valve, ball-cage valve or tilting disc aortic valve); (3) venous thromboembolism occurred within 1 year, or venous thromboembolism with other high-risk factors which require long-term anticoagulation treatment; (4) coronary heart disease with coronary stent implantation, thrombolytic therapy or other coronary procedures within 2 years, or who had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting within 1 year, or who experienced myocardial infarction or acute coronary syndrome within 1 year; (5) a history of stroke/transient ischemic accident within 1 year, or a history of cervical or intracranial revascularization treatment within 1 year; (6) peripheral arterial disease.

3. Patients who are scheduled to undergo intra-abdominal surgery (including general and urologic surgery).

4. Patients who sign written informed consents.

Disqualifiers

1. Refuse to participate.

2. Emergency surgery.

3. Unable to complete the preoperative assessment and follow-up plan.

4. Other reasons that are considered unsuitable for study participation by the investigators or the attending doctors.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence of a composite outcome including major bleeding and major adverse cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events

Major bleeding indicates bleeding of type 2 or higher on the BARC (Bleeding Academic Research Consortium) criteria. Major adverse cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events indicate acute coronary syndrome, acute myocardium infarction, ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack, systemic arterial embolism, pulmonary embolism, or all-cause death.

Time frame
Up to 30 days after surgery

Secondary outcomes

1

Incidence of other postoperative complications

Other postoperative complications indicate any newly occurred medical events that are harmful to patients' recovery and required therapeutic intervention, except major bleeding and major adverse cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events.

Time frame
Up to 30 days after surgery
2

The length of hospital stay

The length of hospital stay from admission to discharge

Time frame
Up to 30 days after surgery
3

Total expenses during hospitalization

Total expenses during hospitalization

Time frame
Up to 30 days after surgery
4

All-cause mortality rate within 30 days after surgery

All-cause mortality rate within 30 days after surgery
