e19323 Background: Although the incidence of VTE is known to be high in cancer patients, many details of the frequency, risk factors, and management of VTE in patients with cancer remain unclear, especially in Asian populations. Methods: The multicenter, prospective, Cancer-VTE Registry study (UMIN000024942) aimed to clarify the actual status of VTE in cancer patients. The study enrolled patients diagnosed with colorectal, lung, stomach, breast, gynecological, or pancreatic cancer in Japan. Patients underwent VTE screening before initiating cancer treatment and were observed for 1 year. Registry objectives included the assessment of VTE prevalence and risk factors for VTE before initiating cancer treatment, real-world treatment of VTE, and frequency of new-onset events during the observation period. DVT screening was waived for those with a normal D-dimer level. Using a multivariate logistic regression model, we examined risk factors for DVT in cancer patients prior to initiating cancer treatment. Results: Of the 9726 patients enrolled, 3661 patients underwent DVT screening and 549 subjects were diagnosed with DVT. The risk factors for DVT among patients who underwent DVT screening (n=3661) are shown in the Table. Conclusions: The risk of DVT before initiating cancer treatment was clarified, and the factors strongly influencing DVT risk included age, sex, VTE history, D-dimer concentration, and hemoglobin concentration.

Abstract METHODS: We measured sP-selectin, vWF:Ag and ADAMTS-13 levels at baseline RESULTS: Forty patients with cancer were included in the study, all were recuited before their first chemotherapy induction. vWF:Ag and ADAMTS-13 were significantly associated with cancer chemotherapy accounting to increased RR for first asymptomatic DVT in the logistic regression model.CONCLUSIONS: Further research is needed to determine whether incorporating vWF:Ag and ADAMTS-13 levels wil find use in everyday clinical practice. Once validated, these results may specify particular cancer patients to be treated with prophylactic anticoagulant.

Objective: The objective of this work is to discuss and analyze the related factors of lower extremity fracture complicated by preoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Methods: A total of 11,891 patients with closed fractures of lower extremities were selected. By analyzing each patient’s gender, age, presence or absence of diabetes and hypertension, preoperative plasma D-dimer level, and color Doppler ultrasound of the lower extremity vein, the pertinent factors of the patients with lower extremity fractures complicated by preoperative DVT were analyzed. Results: A total of 578 with preoperative DVT were detected, displaying a total incidence of 4.86%. All patients were categorized into either the DVT group or non-DVT group. The results demonstrate that there were statistically significant differences between the 2 groups in age, the presence of diabetes and hypertension, the fracture site, and the preoperative plasma D-dimer level ( P < 0.05). Logistic multivariate analysis revealed that age, the presence of diabetes, and the preoperative plasma D-dimer level of patients were independent risk factors for lower extremity fracture complicated by DVT. Conclusion: Age, the presence of diabetes, the fracture site, and increased D-dimer levels were found to be potential risk factors and indicators for preoperative DVT in patients with lower extremity fractures. In addition, the preoperative plasma D-dimer level has certain guiding significance for the prediction of venous thrombosis after lower extremity fracture, which is conducive to the early prediction and diagnosis of DVT, but it often must be followed with good clinic acumen and examinations.

Objective. This study is aimed at investigating the incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the uninjured limb during hospitalization and 1 month after surgery in patients with lower extremity fractures. Methods. We collected the clinical data of patients with lower extremity fractures in Xi’an Honghui Hospital. Doppler ultrasonography was used to diagnose DVT. According to the results of ultrasonography, the patients were divided into two groups: uninjured limb with DVT group and uninjured limb without DVT group. Results. A total of 494 patients who met all inclusion criteria were included in this study. The incidence rate of DVT in the uninjured limb was 19.84% and 18.83% during hospitalization and 1 month after surgery, respectively. Age (OR=1.035, 95% CI: 1.013–1.059; P=0.002) and D-dimer level 1 day after surgery (OR=1.065, 95% CI: 1.030–1.102; P<0.001) were independent risk factors for DVT during hospitalization. Similarly, age (OR=1.045, 95% CI: 1.021–1.070; P<0.001) and D-dimer level 1 day after surgery (OR=1.048, 95% CI: 1.014–1.083; P=0.006) were independent risk factors for DVT 1 month after surgery. During hospitalization and 1 month after surgery, 15.79% and 12.35% of patients had double lower limb thrombosis and 4.04% and 6.48% of patients had DVT in the uninjured limb only, respectively. Conclusion. The actual incidence of DVT in the uninjured limb in patients with lower extremity fractures cannot be ignored despite the use of anticoagulants for prevention or treatment during hospitalization. We should also be aware of DVT in the uninjured limb while focusing on DVT in the injured limb.

Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate the frequency of recurrence and the risk factors for recurrence in patients who were diagnosed with venous thromboembolism. Methods: Between January 2005 and January 2015, a total of 412 venous thromboembolism patients (164 males, 248 females; mean age: 53.5±16.6 years; range: 19 to 95 years) were retrospectively analyzed. The demographics, underlying risk factors, comorbidities, imaging findings, and treatment data of the patients were recorded. Results: At least one transient/permanent risk factor was found in 341 (82.7%) of the index events, and the other 71 (17.2%) were idiopathic. Recurrence developed in 76 (18.4%) of the patients. The duration of the treatment in the first event was significantly longer in recurrent cases (p=0.007). The recurrence rate in patients diagnosed with only deep vein thrombosis or patients diagnosed with pulmonary thromboembolism + deep vein thrombosis was significantly higher than the patients diagnosed with only pulmonary thromboembolism (24% vs. 14.2%, respectively; p=0.007). The rate of idiopathic venous thromboembolism was higher in recurrent cases than in non-recurrent cases (26.3% vs. 15.2%, respectively; p=0.028). At the end of the first year, the mean D-dimer levels were higher in recurrent cases (p=0.034). Hereditary risk factors were also higher in recurrent cases (39.5% vs. 19.3%, respectively; p=0.031). There was no significant correlation between recurrence and mortality. Conclusion: The presence of deep vein thrombosis, idiopathic events, high D-dimer levels at the end of the first year and hereditary risk factors seem to be associated with recurrence.

Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of and independent risk factors for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in the uninjured limb, before and after operation, in patients with lower extremity fractures.Methods: We collected the clinical data of patients with lower extremities fractures who presented at Xi’an Honghui Hospital between 1 July, 2015 and 31 October, 2017. Doppler ultrasonography was used to diagnose the DVT. Patients were examined pre- and postoperatively. The patients were then divided into a thrombosis group and a no thrombosis group according to the preoperative and postoperative ultrasonography results. The thrombosis group was defined as patients admitted to our hospital with DVT in the uninjured limb and the no thrombosis group was defined as patients without DVT in the uninjured limb.Results: This study enrolled 1454 patients who met the inclusion criteria. The incidence of preoperative DVT in the uninjured limb was 9.63% whereas the postoperative incidence was 20.29%. Age (OR=0.965, 95 CI%: 0.954 - 0.977; P=0.000) and gender (OR=0.667, 95% CI: 0.451-0.986, P=0.042) were independent risk factors for preoperative DVT in the uninjured limb. Blood loss (OR=0.997, 95 CI%: 0.995-1.000; P=0.020), D-dimer levels at admission (OR=0.941, 95 CI%: 0.887-0.999; P=0.045), and postoperative day 5 D-dimer levels (OR=0.889, 95 CI%: 0.819-0.965; P=0.005), were independent risk factors for postoperative DVT in the uninjured limb.Conclusion: In conclusion, the actual incidence of DVT in the uninjured lower extremity after fracture may currently be underestimated and should be pay more attention.

Abstract BackgroundThere is a high incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) among cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Chemotherapy-induced vascular endothelial cell activation (VECA) is characterized by increased plasma levels of von Willebrand factor (vWF) and soluble P-selectin (sP-selectin), leading to the activation of endothelial cells and signaling cascades. The biological role of a disintegrin-like and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13 (ADAMTS-13) is to control the activity of vWF and consequently the risk of thrombosis. The objective of this study was to investigate the roles of sP-selectin, vWF, and ADAMTS-13 as risk factors for the first episode of DVT in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.MethodsThis prospective cohort study was conducted at Dr. Kariadi Hospital, Indonesia, on 40 cancer patients. Prechemotherapy (baseline) and postchemotherapy sP-selectin, vWF antigen (vWF:Ag), and ADAMTS-13 plasma levels were determined with ELISAs before and 3 months after chemotherapy. The clinical characteristics of the patients, cancer type, cancer stage, chemotherapy regimen, ABO blood type, D-dimer level and Khorana risk score were also analyzed using logistic regression. Patients were observed for the possibility of developing DVT during chemotherapy.ResultsDVT was confirmed in 5 patients (12.5%) after a period of 3 months. In patients with DVT, sP-selectin and vWF were significantly higher while ADAMTS-13 was lower than in their counterparts. The levels of baseline vWF:Ag and ADAMTS-13, with cut-off points ≥ 2.35 IU/mL and ≤ 1.03 IU/mL, respectively, were found to independently predict the incidence of DVT. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, the relative risk (RR) for DVT in patients with high vWF:Ag was 3.80 (95% CI 1.15-12.48, p=0.028), and that for patients with low ADAMTS-13 was 2.67 (95% CI 1.22-23.82, p=0.005). The vWF:Ag/ADAMTS-13 ratio and both vWF:Ag and ADAMTS-13 dynamics during treatment were also able to differentiate those with prospective DVT. However, sP-selectin and other covariates showed no statistical significance. ConclusionPrechemotherapy plasma levels of vWF:Ag ≥ 2.35 IU/mL and ADAMTS-13 ≤ 1.03 IU/mL are independent risk factors for DVT incidence.
