Risk factors and predictors of venous thromboembolism in patients with acute spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Clin Neurol Neurosurg 2024; 244:108430. [PMID: 39032425 DOI: 10.1016/j.clineuro.2024.108430] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2024] [Revised: 07/04/2024] [Accepted: 07/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a common and preventable complication of patients with acute spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH). Knowledge of VTE risk factors in patients with acute spontaneous ICH continues to evolve while remains controversial. Therefore, this study aims to summarize the risk factors and predictors of VTE in patients with acute spontaneous ICH. METHODS EMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science and Cochrane databases were searched for articles containing Mesh words "Cerebral hemorrhage" and "Venous thromboembolism." Eligibility screening, data extraction, and quality assessment of the retrieved articles were conducted independently by two reviewers. We performed meta-analysis to determine risk factors for the development of VTE in acute spontaneous ICH patients. Sensitivity analysis were performed to explore the sources of heterogeneity. RESULTS Of the 12,362 articles retrieved, 17 cohort studies were included.Meta-analysis showed that longer hospital stay [OR=15.46, 95 % CI (12.54, 18.39), P<0.00001], infection [OR=5.59, 95 % CI (1.53, 20.42), P=0.009], intubation [OR=4.32, 95 % CI (2.79, 6.69), P<0.00001] and presence of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) [OR=1.89, 95 % CI (1.50, 2.38), P<0.00001] were significant risk factors for VTE in acute spontaneous ICH patients. Of the 17 studies included, five studies reported six prediction models, including 15 predictors. The area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) ranged from 0.71 to 0.95. One of the models was externally validated. CONCLUSION Infection, the intubation, presence of IVH and longer hospital stay were risk factors for the development of VTE in acute spontaneous ICH patients. Prediction models of VTE based on acute spontaneous ICH patients have been poorly reported and more research will be needed before such models can be applied in clinical settings.

The impact of gender differences on the clinical characteristics of critically ill patients with venous thromboembolism: A retrospective, observational study. Medicine (Baltimore) 2024; 103:e38423. [PMID: 38875425 PMCID: PMC11175867 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000038423] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2023] [Revised: 02/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study is to describe the general information, disease and treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in critically ill patients, to explore the characteristics of severe patients with deep venous VTE and provide clinical reference data for the prevention and treatment of VTE in critically ill patients. This study carried out a retrospective study on the medical records of patients who were treated in the intensive care unit of Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College from 2020 to 2022. The general data, general conditions, drug use, past history, VTE prevention measures, post-VTE conditions, and Padua risk score of 297 patients with VTE during the period of hospitalization in intensive care unit (ICU) were classified and statistically analyzed. A total of 297 including 171 male and 126 male patient medical records were included in the analysis, we compared multiple clinical indicators between male and female patients. Compared to women, male patients have a higher acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II score(APACHE-II score) (P = .027), a higher state of consciousness (P = .003), a higher rate of smoking and drinking history (P < .001), a lower rate of heart failure (P = .003) and chronic depression (P = .013), and a higher rate of recommended operations for male patients after VTE (P = .031). The prothrombin time (PT) (P = .041) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) (P = .040) of male patients were significantly higher than those of female patients, while triglyceride (P = .009) and total cholesterol (TC) (P = .001) were significantly lower than those of female patients. The difference in D-dimer (P = .739) was not significant. This study shows that male and female patients with VTE in the ICU have significant differences in general characteristics, general clinical conditions, history of past illness, thrombosis character, and examination items, this may be the reason for the different rates of VTE between male and female patients in the ICU.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine the incidence and influencing factors of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with traumatic rib fractures. METHODS The retrospective study analyzed medical records of patients with traumatic rib fractures from 33 hospitals. RESULTS The overall incidence of VTE in hospitalized patients with traumatic rib fractures was 8.1%. Patients with isolated traumatic rib fractures had a significantly lower incidence of VTE (4.4%) compared to patients with rib fractures combined with other injuries (12.0%). Multivariate analysis identified the number of rib fractures as an independent risk factor for thrombosis. Surgical stabilization of isolated rib fractures involving three or more ribs was associated with a lower VTE incidence compared to conservative treatment. CONCLUSIONS Patients with rib fractures have a higher incidence of VTE, positively correlated with the number of rib fractures. However, the occurrence of thrombosis is relatively low in isolated rib fractures. Targeted thromboprophylaxis strategies should be implemented for these patients, and surgical stabilization of rib fractures may be beneficial in reducing the risk of VTE.

Abstract
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common and important medical emergency, encountered by clinicians across all acute care specialties. PE is a relatively uncommon cause of direct admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), but these patients are at high risk of death. More commonly, patients admitted to ICU develop PE as a complication of an unrelated acute illness. This paper reviews the epidemiology, diagnosis, risk stratification, and particularly the management of PE from a critical care perspective. Issues around prevention, anticoagulation, fibrinolysis, catheter-based techniques, surgical embolectomy, and extracorporeal support are discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Isolated distal deep vein thrombosis (ICMVT) increases the risk of pulmonary embolism. Although predictive models are available, their utility in predicting the risk is unknown. To develop a clinical prediction model for isolated distal calf muscle venous thrombosis, data from 462 patients were used to assess the independent risk variables for ICMVT. MATERIAL AND METHODS The area under curve (AUC) for Model A and Model B were calculated and other risk factors were based on age, pitting edema in the symptomatic leg, calf swelling with least 3 cm larger than the asymptomatic leg, recent bed rest for 3 days or more in the past 4 weeks, requiring general or major surgery with regional anesthesia, sex, and local tenderness distributed along the deep venous system as independent predictors of calf muscle venous thrombosis. Model A includes the risk variables for C-reactive protein and D-dimer. RESULTS The area under ROC curve for Model A training set was 0.924 (95% CI: 0.895-0.952), the area under ROC curve for Model B training set was 0.887 (95% CI: 0.852-0.922), and the AUC difference between the 2 models was statistically significant (P<0.001); the area under ROC curve for Model A obtained in the validation set was 0.902 (95% CI: 0.844-0.961), the area under ROC curve for Model B was 0.842 (95% CI: 0. 0.773-0.910), and the difference between the 2 models was statistically significant (P=0.012). CONCLUSIONS Predictive Model A better predicts isolated calf muscle venous thrombosis and is able to help clinicians rapidly and early diagnose ICMVT, displaying higher utility for missed diagnosis prevention and disease therapy.

Abstract
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a complication of Dravet syndrome, accounting for many unexpected deaths. To control VTE more tightly and to prevent such tragedies, a reliable and low-cost risk evaluation assay is urgently needed, so that the daily routine of VTE risk evaluation can be established. In this work, we have developed such an assay combining the photocatalytic activity of Bengal red to trigger the target-specific self-splicing of a peptide probe and subsequent cross-linking with P-selectin. Following this protocol, a robust and one-step detection can be achieved, without using any costly enzymes, antibodies, or nanomaterials, but the same level of sensitivity and robustness can be attained. Specifically, the effect of epilepsy on elevating platelet P-selectin can be observed by using the proposed assay. This may in the near future promise a new method for evaluating the side effects of P-selectin through relatively noninvasive peripheral blood sampling.

Abstract
Background Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in lower extremities as a common complication of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) has long been studied. However, as the therapeutic options for AIS continue to advance, the pathogenic mechanisms behind DVT may change. Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) has replaced intravenous thrombolysis and become the preferred treatment for AIS patients with large vessel occlusions. Therefore, it is important to update our understanding of DVT and its management. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors of DVT in AIS patients following EVT. Methods In this retrospective study, 245 AIS patients who had received EVT were recruited between January 2020 and December 2021. Within 10 days (median 4 days) of thrombectomy, DVT was diagnosed by ultrasonography. Demographic characteristics, clinical findings, and therapeutic procedures were compared between patients with and without DVT using univariate analysis. Cutoff points were defined for EVT time and plasma D-dimer concentration. Multivariable logistic regression was then used to determine the independent risk factors for DVT and evaluate their predictive power. Results The prevalence of DVT in AIS patients after EVT was 27.3%. Multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that age (OR 1.036, 95% CI 1.001-1.073; P = 0.045), female sex (OR 3.015, 95% CI 1.446-6.289; P = 0.003), lower limb muscle strength less than grade three (OR 7.015, 95% CI 1.887-26.080; P = 0.004), longer EVT time (OR 1.012, 95% CI 1.004-1.020; P = 0.003), and higher D-dimer levels (OR 1.350, 95% CI 1.150-1.585; P < 0.001) were independently associated with higher DVT risk in AIS patients following EVT. The cutoff points for operative time of EVT and plasma D-dimer were 65.5 min and 1.62 mg/L, respectively, above which the risk for DVT was dramatically increased with OR > 4 in AIS patients. Conclusion AIS patients are at increased risk of developing DVT following EVT particularly if they have undergone prolonged thrombectomy procedures and exhibit high plasma levels of D-dimers. However, the results of our study need to be validated by a multicenter prospective study with a larger population of stroke patients.

Abstract
In this study, we sought to investigate the effectiveness of inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placement in reducing the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients diagnosed with isolated calf deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after an intracranial hemorrhage or intracranial operation. A retrospective chart review (January 2000-December 2019) was performed to identify patients diagnosed with calf DVT after intracranial hemorrhage or intracranial operation. A total of 100 patients met the study criteria and were divided into groups based on treatment: IVC filter placement (n = 22), prophylactic anticoagulation (n = 42), or imaging surveillance (n = 36). Treatment-related complications were identified, and differences between groups in the primary endpoint (VTE occurrence after DVT diagnosis) were assessed using logistic regression. VTE occurred in 15 patients after calf DVT diagnosis. The rate of VTE was higher in the IVC filter group (9/22; 41%) than in the anticoagulation (2/42; 5%; p = 0.002) and surveillance (4/36; 11%; p = 0.013) groups. These treatment effects remained significant after adjustments were made for baseline characteristics (IVC filter vs anticoagulation, p = 0.009; IVC filter vs surveillance, p = 0.019). There was a single occurrence of pulmonary embolism in the surveillance group (3%). A single case of IVC filter thrombus was identified; no anticoagulation-related complications were reported. The findings of this study do not support IVC filter placement as a primary and solitary treatment for isolated calf DVT occurring after intracranial hemorrhage or intracranial operation.

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has become an increasingly used tool for cardiorespiratory support. Thrombosis is a well-recognized complication of ECMO, yet the burden of disease remains unclear. We undertook a systematic review to investigate the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) during ECMO or soon after decannulation, in patients screened for VTE. We retrieved all studies that evaluated VTE incidence in ECMO patients in EMBASE, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library from inception to April 2, 2021. Studies reporting incidence of VTE diagnosed on systematic screening tests during ECMO or within 7 days of decannulation in adult patients were included. A total of 18 studies were included in the systematic review. These studies screened a total of 1095 ECMO patients. Most studies screened for cannula-associated deep vein thrombosis (CaDVT) after decannulation. The overall incidence of DVT was 52.8% (95% CI, 49.8-55.8%). Incidence of DVT was 53.5% (95% CI, 50.0-57.0%) for venovenous ECMO vs. 34.0% (95% CI, 26.5-42.2%) for venoarterial ECMO. No studies screened for pulmonary embolism. Our systematic review found a very high incidence of DVT among patients treated with ECMO. Routine screening for DVT after decannulation for all ECMO patients may be warranted.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study is to investigate the prevention and treatment patterns of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in critically ill patients and to explore the risk factors for DVT in people from Zhejiang Province, China. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study prospectively enrolled patients admitted in intensive care units (ICUs) of 54 hospitals from 09/16/2019 to 01/16/2020. The risk of developing DVT and subsequent prophylaxis was evaluated. The primary outcome was DVT occurrence during ICU hospitalisation. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were performed to determine the risk factors for DVT. RESULTS A total of 940 patients were included in the study. Among 847 patients who received prophylaxis, 635 (75.0%) patients received physical prophylaxis and 199 (23.5%) patients received drug prophylaxis. Fifty-eight (6.2%) patients were diagnosed with DVT after admission to the ICU, and 36 patients were treated with anticoagulants (all patients received low molecular weight heparin [LMWH]). D-dimer levels (OR = 1.256, 95% CI: 1.132-1.990), basic prophylaxis (OR = 0.092, 95% CI: 0.016-0.536), and physical prophylaxis (OR = 0.159, 95% CI: 0.038-0.674) were independently associated with DVT in ICU patients. The short-term survival was similar between DVT and non-DVT patients. CONCLUSIONS DVT prophylaxis is widely performed in ICU patients. Prophylaxis is an independent protective factor for DVT occurrence. The most common treatment of DVT patients is LMWH, although it might increase the rate of bleeding.Key messagesThis is the only multicenter and prospective study of DVT in ICUs in China.d-dimer levels were independently associated with DVT in ICU patients.Prophylaxis was an independent protective factor for DVT occurrence in ICU.

Abstract
Acute neuromuscular disorders represent an important subset of neurologic consultation requests in the inpatient setting. Although most neuromuscular disorders are subacute to chronic, hospital-based neurologists encounter neuromuscular disorders presenting with rapidly progressive or severe weakness affecting limb movement, respiratory, and bulbar function. Recalling fundamentals of neurologic localization assists in prompt recognition and diagnosis. Despite the differing localizations and the causal diagnoses, the initial management principles of acute myopathies, neuropathies, and neuromuscular junction disorders are similar.
