Abstract

Isolated distal deep vein thromboses (IDDVT) are frequent; however, their optimal management is still controversial. We performed a retrospective study on inpatients undergoing ultrasound for suspected deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or with a particular risk profile, during 2016. This study aimed to assess the frequency of proximal deep vein thromboses (PDVT) and IDDVT; to evaluate therapeutic management and identify variables associated with early outcomes and mortality among IDDVT patients; to compare all-causes mortality between subjects with PDVT and IDDVT. Among 21594 patients hospitalized in the study period 251 IDDVT and 149 PDVT were diagnosed; the frequency was 1.2% and 0.7% respectively. 19% of IDDVT patients died compared to 25.5% of PDVT subjects (OR=0.72; 95% CI=0.44-1.17; P=0.19). In IDDVT patients, age ≥80, cancer and intracranial bleeding increased the risk of death (OR=2; 95% CI=1.07-3.75, P=0.001; OR=8.47; 95% CI=3.28-21.88, P=0.0000003; OR=2.33; 95% CI=1.18-4.58, P=0.0003). A significant association between intracranial hemorrhage and both proximal extension by using the Fisher's exact test (P=0.031; OR=16.11; 95% CI=0.80-321.2), and composite of propagation to popliteal or to other calf veins (OR=8.28, 95% CI=2....Continue Reading
