Using anti-Xa level for adjusting intravenous unfractionated heparin infusion in peripartum thromboembolic disease
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Intravenous unfractionated heparin infusion is often used to minimize the duration of time without anticoagulation around delivery in pregnant patients with high thrombotic risk. Activated partial thromboplastin time is commonly used to monitor and adjust heparin dose. However, using activated partial thromboplastin time is problematic in pregnancy because activated partial thromboplastin time response to unfractionated heparin is attenuated due to elevated Factor VIII levels and may lead to incorrect dosing. CASE: We report a case of deep venous thrombosis occurring in a term pregnancy managed by intravenous unfractionated heparin adjusted using anti-Xa level around the time of delivery. We modified the intravenous unfractionated heparin nomogram by using anti-Xa levels instead of activated partial thromboplastin time and observed lower dosing of unfractionated heparin than otherwise required to achieve and maintain target levels. CONCLUSION: This report demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of using anti-Xa level to monitor and adjust intravenous unfractionated heparin infusion in pregnancy.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
