Abstract

Background: The risk factors for residual venous thrombosis (RVT) in patients with post-trauma deep vein thrombosis (DVT) are unknown.

Methods: We evaluated 127 patients with DVT after trauma, all of whom were treated with conventional anticoagulation and assessed for the presence of RVT with venous compression ultrasound (CUS), using an internal diameter of the venous lumen ≥ 4 mm after compression as the criterion.

Results: RVT was present in 59 (46%) patients, and complete thrombus dissolution was present in 68 (54%) patients. Among them, mixed proximal and distal thrombosis (OR, 4.292; 95% CI, 1.253-14.707), diabetes (OR, 6.345; 95% CI, 1.125-35.786), fibrinogen > 4.145 g/L (OR, 2.858; 95% CI, 1.034-7.897), the time between detection of thrombus and initiation of antithrombotic therapy > 2.5 days (OR, 3.470; 95% CI, 1.085-11.094) was an independent risk factor for RVT in patients with posttraumatic DVT.

Conclusion: A mixed proximal and distal thrombosis, diabetes mellitus, late initiation of antithrombotic therapy, and high fibrinogen levels increase the risk of RVT in patients with posttraumatic DVT. Therefore, treatment regimens for patients with posttraumatic DVT can be adjusted according to the site of thrombosis, the presence of diabetes mellitus, and the level of fibrinogen, and antithrombotic therapy can be started as early as possible after the detection of thrombosis to prevent the development of RVT and its serious complications.

Keywords: anticoagulation; deep vein thrombosis (DVT); diabetes mellitus; fibrinogen (FBG); residual venous thrombosis; trauma.
