Abstract
The long-term clinical outcome of VTE has been essentially assessed in cohorts of selected patients. The aim of this multicenter registry was to prospectively assess the long-term clinical outcome in a cohort of unselected patients with objectively confirmed acute VTE. Death and VTE recurrence at 24 months were the main study outcomes. Univariate and multivariate survival analyses were performed according to the Kaplan-Meyer and Cox proportional hazard model, respectively. 2119 patients with acute VTE were included in the registry: 1541 (72.7%) with deep vein thrombosis, 206 (9.7%) with pulmonary embolism and 372 (17.6%) with both. Information about death was available in 2021 patients (95.4%) and about recurrence in 1988 patients (93.8%). 167 patients (4.55% patient-year) died during follow-up. After adjusting for age, cancer (Hazard ratio [HR]: 7.2; 95%CI 4.8-10.8), long-term heparin treatment (HR: 2.5; 95%CI 1.8-3.5), in-hospital management of VTE (HR: 2.0; 95%CI 1.3-3.0), and ileo-caval thrombosis (HR: 1.7; 95%CI 1.2-2.4) were found to be independent predictors of death. 124 (3.63% patient-year) patients had a VTE recurrence during follow-up. In-hospital management of VTE (HR: 1.8; 95%CI 1.2-2.9), male gender (HR: 1.7; 95%C...Continue Reading
