Abstract

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) has been reported to be less common among Thais than Caucasians. Whether this observation reflects genetic or environmental factors, or both, is uncertain. To identify genetic and acquired risk factors of Thai patients with VTE, we enrolled in the study 105 consecutive Thai patients (34 men, 71 women) who had an objectively confirmed history of VTE. A complete clinical summary was obtained from each patient, with emphasis on personal and family history of VTE, as well as circumstantial vascular risk factors (surgery, immobilization, pregnancy, postpartum condition, trauma, oral contraceptive use, and malignancy). Of the 105 patients, 19% were found to have a malignancy. The mean age at the time of the first thrombotic episode was 52.1 years (range, 29-76 years), compared with 42.6 years (range, 17-82 years) for the patients without malignancy. Of the 85 patients without malignancy, 12.3% had protein S deficiency, 8.9% had protein C deficiency, 4.7% had antithrombin deficiency, 10.4% had antiphospholipid antibody, 30.4% had an elevated factor VIII level, 26.8% had an elevated factor XI level, 5.3% had hyperhomocysteinemia, and 16.5% were on oral contraceptives before the thrombotic episode. Factor V ...Continue Reading
