Overview

Alexander G.G. Turpie is affiliated with McMaster University in Canada. Their research primarily focuses on multiple aspects of medicine, with specializations in internal medicine, surgery, cardiology and cardiovascular medicine, hematology, and epidemiology. The emphasis of their work lies especially on venous thromboembolism (VTE) diagnosis and management, diagnosis and treatment of venous diseases, and atrial fibrillation management and outcomes, among other topics.

The main topics addressed in their publications include:

  • Venous Thromboembolism Diagnosis and Management
  • Diagnosis and Treatment of Venous Diseases
  • Atrial Fibrillation Management and Outcomes
  • Blood Pressure and Hypertension Studies
  • Peripheral Artery Disease Management
  • Blood Coagulation and Thrombosis Mechanisms
  • Acute Ischemic Stroke Management

Alexander G.G. Turpie has contributed to the field through multiple recent papers, some of which include:

  • Assessment of Outcomes Among Patients With Venous Thromboembolism With and Without Chronic Kidney Disease, 2020, published in JAMA Network Open
  • Provoked versus unprovoked venous thromboembolism: Findings from GARFIELD-VTE, 2021, published in Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis
  • Comparative effectiveness of oral anticoagulants in venous thromboembolism: GARFIELD-VTE, 2020, published in Thrombosis Research
  • Anticoagulant treatment for venous thromboembolism: A pooled analysis and additional results of the XALIA and XALIA-LEA noninterventional studies, 2021, published in Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis
  • The influence of anemia on clinical outcomes in venous thromboembolism: Results from GARFIELD-VTE, 2021, published in Thrombosis Research

Their frequent coauthors include Walter Ageno, Sylvia Haas, Alfredo E. Farjat, Samuel Z. Goldhaber, and Pantep Angchaisuksiri. This indicates collaborative work predominantly in thrombosis and cardiovascular research fields.

Alexander G.G. Turpie's research has been published in various venues, with several papers appearing in:

  • Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis
  • Thrombosis Research
  • SSRN Electronic Journal
  • JAMA Network Open
  • The Lancet

Their contributions span medicine broadly, with a concentration on cardiovascular and thrombotic disorders, reflecting a comprehensive engagement with clinical research and patient outcomes in these areas.
