Abstract
Our aims were to determine the incidence of symptomatic deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) that required inpatient or outpatient treatment, and to identify specific risk factors associated with DVT/PE in patients who had undergone surgery for a fracture distal to the knee. Using individual linkage of nationwide registries, we included all Danish patients who had undergone surgery for a fracture distal to the knee between 1999 and 2011. Patients were followed for 180 days from discharge. Event rates of DVT/PE were calculated, and significant risk factors were identified with use of multivariable Cox regression analyses. Routine postdischarge antithrombotic chemoprophylaxis was not given to these patients. The study included 57,619 patients, 594 of whom had a venous thromboembolic event during the follow-up period. Thirty-nine (6.6%) of the 594 events were death due to PE. The overall event rate during the 180-day study period was 1.0%. The incidence rate was 7.28 events per 100 person-years before discharge, decreasing to a stable level below one event per 100 person-years in week 13 to 14 after discharge. Use of oral contraception by patients eighteen to fifty years of age (hazard ratio [HR] = 5.23, 95% co...Continue Reading
