Risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is presumed to be high for neurologic intensive care unit (NICU) patients. However, exact incidences of VTE have yet to be reported. In this prospective observational study, we consecutively enrolled 126 neurocritical care patients who had an NICU stay ≥1 week with paralysis and/or unconsciousness. All patients received DVT prevention strategies. Patients were screened for VTE after 1 week of hospitalization, using venous ultrasonography and computed tomography pulmonary angiography. Following 1 week of NICU hospitalization, DVT incidence was 35.7% and PE incidence was 17.5%. Of the DVTs, 75.6% were in the muscular calf vein. Of the PEs, 22.7% were in main pulmonary arteries, while 77.3% were in branches. Approximately 96% of the DVTs and 86% of the PEs were asymptomatic. Approximately 24% of patients with DVT had a concurrent PE, while 50% of PE patients had a DVT. Paralysis, raised d-dimer on admission, and pulmonary infection were found to be independent risk factors for DVT. Paraplegia, femoral vein thrombosis, and pulmonary infection were found to be independent risk factors for PE. Despite active preventive measures, incidences of VTE in NICU patients were high. Most VTEs were asymptomatic, meaning they could have led to a missed diagnosis. Attention should be paid to the VTE events of critically ill neurological patients.

SummaryRecent trials on secondary prophylaxis after venous thromboembolism (VTE) have provided a wealth of data on the risk factors for recurrence and, to some extent, also for bleeding. Some of the results are consistent across the studies, but there are also conflicting data. Certain risk factors, such as pulmonary embolism versus deep vein thrombosis or presence of cardiolipin antibodies, have a more pronounced influence on the risk early in the course of disease. Others, such as hereditary throm- bophilic defects, seem to gain importance over many years of follow-up. Therefore, it can be difficult to make decisions on an individual patient basis. In this article,data from important and illustrative trials have been extracted and compared and controversies highlighted. The conclusions drawn should help clinicians make balanced decisions on the optimal duration of anticoagulation after an episode of VTE.
