Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sepsis is a global public health burden. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is the third most common cause of death from cardiovascular disease after heart attacks and strokes. We designed this experiment to investigate the factors influencing DVT formation in patients with sepsis. METHODS In this survey, 918 septic patients admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital, who underwent DVT screening were enrolled. The data were collected from June 8, 2013 to October 12, 2022. The differences between septic patients with and without DVT were studied from following aspects: basic information, comorbidities, inflammatory cytokines, albumin, source of infection, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, coagulation and prognosis. MAIN RESULTS In this study, the prevalence of DVT in patients with sepsis was 0.23. Elderly patients with sepsis were prone to DVT (p value < 0.001). In terms of comorbidities, septic patients with hypertension and atrial fibrillation were prone to DVT (p value 0.045 and 0.048). Inflammatory cytokines, such as procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, had no significant correlation with DVT in patients with sepsis (p value 0.364, 0.882, 0.912, 0.789, 0.245, and 0.780). Levels of serum albumin correlated with DVT in patients with sepsis (p value 0.003). The SOFA total score had no relationship with DVT formation (p value 0.254). Coagulation and respiration function were negatively correlated with DVT (p value 0.018). Liver function was positively correlated with DVT (p value 0.020). Patients in the DVT group had longer duration of mechanical ventilation and longer intensive care unit (ICU) stays (p value < 0.001 and 0.006). There was no significant difference in survival in septic patients with and without DVT (p value 0.868). CONCLUSIONS The SOFA total score had no relationship with DVT formation. The function of each organ had different effects on DVT formation. Better coagulation and respiration function, easier DVT formation. Poorer liver function, easier DVT formation. DVT was associated with longer duration of mechanical ventilation and longer ICU stays.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common complication in orthopedic patients. Previous studies have focused on major orthopedic surgery.There are few studies with multiple trauma. We aimed to describe the prevalence of DVT and compare the predictive power of the different risk assessment scales in patients with multiple trauma. METHODS This prospective cohort study involved multiple trauma patients admitted to our hospital between October 2021 and December 2022. Data were prospectively collected for thrombotic risk assessments using the Risk Assessment Profile for thromboembolism(RAPT), the DVT risk assessment score (DRAS), and the Trauma Embolic Scoring System (TESS), respectively. The receiver operation characteristic (ROC) curve and the area under the curve (AUC) were evaluated to compare the predictive power. The whole leg duplex ultrasound of both lower extremities Doppler ultrasound was used to determine DVT incidence. RESULTS A total of 210 patients were included, and the incidence of DVT was 26.19%. Distal DVT accounted for 87.27%; postoperative DVT, 72.73%; and bilateral lower extremity thrombosis, 30.91%. There were significant differences in age, education degree, pelvic fracture, surgery, ISS, D-dimer level, length of hospital stay and ICU stay between the thrombosis group and the non-thrombosis group. The AUCs for RAPT, DRAS, and TESS were 0.737, 0.710, and 0.683, respectively. There were no significant differences between the three ROC curves. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of DVT was relatively high during hospitalization. We prospectively validated the tests to predict risk of DVT among patients with multiple trauma to help trauma surgeons in the clinical administration of DVT prophylaxis.

Abstract
Thrombosis and bleeding after implementation of an intermediate-dose prophylactic anticoagulation protocol in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19): a multicenter screening study Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is common among critically ill patients with COVID-19. Information regarding VTE prevalence and bleeding complications after implementation of intermediate-dose prophylactic anticoagulation in such patients is, however, limited. Methods: We performed a prospective, observational study in 6 ICUs in 2 university-affiliated teaching hospitals in Sweden. After implementation of an intermediate-dose prophylactic anticoagulation protocol, we performed ultrasound screening for proximal lower-extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and collected routine computed tomography pulmonary angiography exam results. Results: A total of 100 COVID-19 patients were included from June 21, 2020, through February 18, 2021. During a median follow-up of 120 (IQR, 89-134) days, we found VTE in 37 patients with the majority (78.4%) being diagnosed after ICU arrival. Overall, 20 patients had proximal lower-extremity DVT with 95% being detected on ultrasound screening; 22 patients had pulmonary vascular thrombosis; and 4 patients had venous thrombosis at other sites. A total of 6 patients had both proximal lower-extremity DVT and pulmonary vascular thrombosis. On univariate logistic regression analysis of 14 baseline characteristics, only pre-existing heart failure was associated with VTE (OR 4.67, 95% CI 1.13-19.34). Major and non-major bleeding occurred in 10 and 18 patients, respectively. Conclusions: In our cohort of ICU patients with COVID-19, we observed a high prevalence of VTE and bleeding complications after implementation of intermediate-dose anticoagulation. In approximately half of patients, VTE was identified on screening ultrasound.

Abstract
The point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) DVT examination can facilitate rapid bedside diagnosis and treatment of lower extremity DVT. Awaiting radiology-performed Doppler ultrasonography and interpretation by radiologists can lead to delays in lifesaving anticoagulation, and the POCUS DVT examination can provide timely diagnostic information in the patient with lower extremity symptoms. This article outlines accepted techniques for the POCUS DVT examination, discusses the historical context from which the current recommendations have evolved, and provides illustrations alongside ultrasound images of relevant venous anatomy to orient the clinician. Finally, common pitfalls and methods to avoid them are described.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is common in critically ill patients with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and may cause fatal pulmonary embolism (PE) prior to diagnosis due to subtle clinical symptoms. The aim of this study was to explore the feasibility of bedside screening for DVT in critically ill COVID-19 patients performed by physicians with limited experience of venous ultrasound. We further aimed to compare inflammation, coagulation and organ dysfunction in patients with and without venous thromboembolism (VTE). METHODS This observational study included patients with COVID-19 admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of a tertiary hospital in Sweden and screened for DVT with proximal compression ultrasound of the lower extremities between April and July 2020. Screening was performed by ICU residents having received a short online education and one hands-on-session. Pathological screening ultrasound was confirmed by formal ultrasound whereas patients with negative screening underwent formal ultrasound on clinical suspicion. Clinical data, laboratory findings and follow-up were extracted from medical records. RESULTS Of 90 eligible patients, 56 were screened by seven ICU residents with no (n = 5) or limited (n = 2) previous experience of DVT ultrasound who performed a median of 4 (IQR 2-19) examinations. Four (7.1%) patients had pathological screening ultrasound of which three (5.6%) were confirmed by formal ultrasound. None of the 52 patients with negative screening ultrasound were diagnosed with DVT during follow-up. Six patients were diagnosed with PE of which four prior to negative screening and two following negative and positive screening respectively. Patients with VTE (n = 8) had higher median peak D-dimer (24.0 (IQR 14.2-50.5) vs. 2.8 (IQR 1.7-7.2) mg/L, p = 0.004), mean peak C-reactive protein (363 (SD 80) vs. 285 (SD 108) mg/L, p = 0.033) and median peak plasma creatinine (288 (IQR 131-328) vs. 94 (IQR 78-131) μmol/L, p = 0.009) compared to patients without VTE (n = 48). Five patients (63%) with VTE received continuous renal replacement therapy compared to six patients (13%) without VTE (p = 0.005). CONCLUSION ICU residents with no or limited experience could detect DVT with ultrasound in critically ill COVID-19 patients following a short education. VTE was associated with kidney dysfunction and features of hyperinflammation and hypercoagulation. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials ID: NCT04316884 . Registered 20 March 2020.
