Forskningsfokus
Sykehuset Østfolds Forskningsgruppen i Trombose og Hemostase ledes av overlege, førsteamanuensis Waleed Ghanima. Gruppen består av 13 medlemmer derav 8 stipendiater. Gruppen fokuserer på klinisk forskning innen venøs tromboembolisme (VTE) og immun trombocytopeni (ITP). Gruppen har et utbredt nasjonalt og internasjonalt samarbeid inklusiv samarbeid med akademiske miljøer og legemiddelindustri og har stort vitenskapelig produksjon innen disse to feltene.
Vi fokuserer på diagnostiske og behandlingsstudier samt på kartlegging av langtidsutkomme og helserelatert livskvalitet etter dyp venetrombose (blodpropp i bein) og lungeemboli (blodpropp i lungene). Vi har dessuten etablert et register for venøs tromboembolisme i Østfold (TROLLS REGISTER). Alle pasienter som behandles for venøs tromboembolisme i Østfold blir registrert i TROLL.
Gruppen har en omfattende forskningsaktivitet innen ITP (immunologisk blødersykdom med lave blodplater) og er ledende i Norge innen dette feltet. Gruppen fokuserer på testing av nye behandlingsmetoder for ITP, kartlegging av behandlingsrelaterte bivirkninger og underliggende mekanismer, samt patofysiologiske mekanismer ved ITP.
