BACKGROUND

Point-of-care testing (POCT) is regularly used to assess haemostasis in various clinical settings. The impact of rivaroxaban on those POCT is still elusive. We aimed to study the effects of rivaroxaban on most commonly used POCT assays.

METHODS

Blood samples were taken before, 3h, and 24h after administration of 20mg rivaroxaban to 20 healthy volunteers as part of a prospective, multicenter validation study (clinicaltrials.govNCT01710267). Blood samples were analysed with thromboelastometry (ROTEM®), two platelet function assays (INNOVANCE® PFA-200 and Multiplate®), and the CoaguChek® XS. Rivaroxaban plasma levels were determined using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.

RESULTS

Rivaroxaban significantly modified some thromboelastometry parameters (CT INTEM: mean difference 56.1s, 95% CI: 41.8, 70.3; CT EXTEM: 47.5s, 95% CI: 37.8, 57.1; CT HEPTEM: 50.1s, 95% CI: 34.7, 65.6), and CoaguChek® XS parameters (prothrombin time: mean difference 3.8s, 95% CI: 3.3, 4.2; INR: 0.32, 95% CI: 0.27, 0.38; prothrombin ratio: -36.1%, 95% CI: -32.3, -39.9). CT EXTEM and INR showed a moderate correlation with rivaroxaban plasma levels (r=0.83; 95% CI 0.69, 0.9 and r=0.83; 95% CI 0.70, 0.91, respectively) and a high sensitivity to detect rivaroxaban treatment at peak levels (0.95; 95% CI: 0.76, 1.0 and 0.90, 95% CI 0.70, 0.99, respectively).

CONCLUSIONS

Rivaroxaban 20mg treatment significantly alters ROTEM® and CoaguChek® XS parameters. Even though POCT do not allow precise quantification of rivaroxaban plasma concentration, CT EXTEM and CoaguChek XS detect the presence of rivaroxaban at peak level with a high sensitivity.
