Abstract
Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), represents a substantial healthcare challenge. Provoked and unprovoked DVT cases carry distinct risks and treatment considerations. Recognizing the limitations of this classification, molecular markers may enhance diagnostic precision and guide anticoagulation therapy duration relying on patient history and risk factors. This preliminary, open-label, prospective cohort study was conducted including 15 patients (10 provoked DVT and 5 unprovoked DVT) and a control group of healthy plasmatic subjects. Plasma levels of 9 biomarkers were measured at diagnosis (baseline, day 0, and D0) and after 30 days (day 30-D30). Patient demographics, clinical data, and biomarker concentrations were analyzed. Serum concentrations of D-dimer, von Willebrand factor, C-reactive protein, and Anti-Xa were elevated in DVT groups at D0 compared to controls. No significant differences were observed between the provoked and unprovoked groups on the day of diagnosis and 30 days later. Over 30 days, the provoked group exhibited significant biomarker changes related to temporal assessment. No significant differences were noted in the biomarker profile between provoked and unprovoked DVT groups. This study is indicative of the concept of individualized thrombosis assessment and subsequent treatment for VTE. Larger cohorts are warranted to validate these findings and further define the most appropriate use of the molecular markers.

Abstract
To evaluate the correlation between the Caprini risk assessment scale and plasma thrombosis biomarkers and estimate the validity of this method in identifying critically ill patients at high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE).Patients with VTE who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) department of West China Hospital SiChuan University from October 2016 to October 2017 were enrolled in this case-control study. We retrieved relative clinical data and laboratory test results included in the Caprini risk assessment scale to calculate the Caprini score and compared thrombosis biomarkers between various risk stratifications (low, moderate, high, and highest).A total of 151 critically ill patients were enrolled in our research, including 47 VTE and 94 non-VTE patients. The differences in Caprini score and levels of thrombosis biomarkers between the VTE and control group were significant. Thrombomodulin (TM) was positively correlated with Caprini score (R-value was .451, P < .05). Based on the receiver operating characteristic analysis, TM, tissue plasminogen activator-inhibitor complexes, D-dimer, and fibrinogen degradation products had a certain diagnostic efficiency in distinguishing VTE from others (P < .05). Using the logistic regression model, we identified that 5 risk factors, namely drinking history, major surgery (>3 hours), swollen legs (current), TM, and D-dimer, were independent factors for the occurrence of VTE in critically ill patients admitted in the ICU.Thrombosis markers were positively correlated with Caprini risk stratification. The combination of plasma markers and Caprini risk assessment scale can further increase the predictive value in critically ill patients with VTE.
