The objective of this study was to investigate the incidence of and risk factors for venous thrombosis in hospitalized patients with hematologic malignancies. METHODS: We designed a prospective cohort study and enrolled patients with hematologic malignancies, who had been hospitalized between 2020 and 2021. Thromboprophylaxis was given to all patients, other than those under a high risk of hemorrhage. RESULTS: 94 patients were enrolled. The incidence of superficial vein thrombosis was 11.7% and the incidence of deep vein thrombosis (including pulmonary embolism and catheter thrombosis) was 7.4%. Patients, who developed thrombosis, had statistically significantly longer hospital stays (21 vs. 11.5 days, p=0.023) and a higher number of hospitalizations (1 vs. 3, p=0.015) compared to those, who did not develop thrombosis. Patients, who had 3 or more risk factors for thrombosis, were found to be under the highest risk. (p=0.017, OR=4.32; 95% CI: 1.3-14.35). Furthermore, patients with recurrent hospitalizations (p=0.024, OR=1.49; 95% CI: 1.05-2.11) and higher fibrinogen levels (p=0.028, OR=1; 95% CI: 1-1.006) were under an increased risk of thrombosis. CONCLUSION: Venous thrombosis is frequently seen in hospitalized patients with hematologic malignancies. A universally accepted risk scoring system is required for detection of patients, under a high risk for thrombosis. | URI: | https://doi.org/10.14744/nci.2023.92332 https://hdl.handle.net/11499/57776 |
