    Report summary

    Dorothy Delaney was found collapsed at her care home on 11 June 2015 after being prescribed Rivaroxaban for atrial fibrillation and Clopidogrel for previous transient ischaemic attacks. She was diagnosed with a large intracerebral haemorrhage and died later that day. The principal concern was that both anticoagulant and antiplatelet medications were prescribed without individual specialist advice, increasing the risk of haemorrhage.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to obtain individualized specialist advice for patients prescribed anticoagulation and antiplatelet medication together

    Wider context from the report

    “vi. Following Mrs Delaney’s diagnosis of atrial fibrillation and the subsequent prescription of Rivaroxaban, no specialist advice was sought regarding the appropriateness of continuing to prescribe both Clopidogrel and Rivaroxaban together. Evidence was given at the inquest that advice is not sought on an individual basis for patients at Alexander House Health Centre who are prescribed both Clopidogrel and Rivaroxaban as they rely on advice previously sought in respect of other patients in similar circumstances. 2. I therefore have concerns that there are patients under the care of Alexander House Health Centre who are being prescribed both anticoagulation therapy and antiplatelet medication at the same time, which increases the risk of a haemorrhage occurring, in circumstances where specialist advice has not been sought, taking into account the individual patient’s previous medical history and circumstances. ”

    Produce a practice protocol for prescribing anticoagulant and antiplatelet medicines together.

    Verbatim wording from the response

    “Although I was not able to find any protocol or guidance on this issue, as I have feedback from our local Haematology Department, I decided to produce a protocol for our practice for future prescribing of anticoagulant with antiplatelet agents. Furthermore I have reviewed all the patients who are on combined treatment. I have looked at their medical records and checked the suitability of the patient to be on both groups of medication. In any patient, if I was not sure, I have liaised with secondary care to clarify the matter.”
