Emina Curic: Improving the Understanding of Factor V Leiden in Everyday Clinical Practice
Emina Curic, Master of Science in Pharmaceutical Science, Clinical pharmacology and PhD student at Center for Primary Healthcare Research, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article she and her colleagues co-authored, published in Journal of Thrombosis and Thrombolysis, adding:
“I’m excited to share our latest publication:
Real-world data on Factor V Leiden in Sweden: A nationwide family study
This study highlights the value of real-world nationwide data in improving our understanding of Factor V Leiden in everyday clinical practice.
We found that Factor V Leiden is likely underdiagnosed in Sweden and is associated with a substantially increased risk of venous thromboembolism. I hope these findings will encourage further discussion on optimizing thrombophilia screening and risk assessment.
I’m grateful to all my co-authors and especially my supervisor, Professor Bengt Zöller who made this work possible.
It’s been a rewarding project, and I hope these findings contribute to improving evidence-based care for patients at risk of venous thromboembolism.”
