Abstract
Abstract
Background
In current active prevention (including physical and drug prevention), the incidence of perioperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremities remains high in patients with bone trauma. Risk factors need to be further optimized, and high-risk patients must be identified early. Preoperative comorbidities, especially preoperative anemia, and DVT in patients with perioperative bone trauma are not clear. The purpose of this study was to explore the causal relationship between preoperative anemia and DVT in patients with perioperative bone trauma, and further reduce the incidence of DVT in patients with bone trauma.
Objectives
To analyze the relationship between preoperative anemia and perioperative DVT in patients with femoral and pelvic fractures and provide a reference for the optimization of risk factors for DVT.
Methods
The clinical data of 1049 patients with femoral and pelvic fractures who received surgical treatment from May 2018 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed for the covariates of DVT. Modified Poisson regression was used to analyze the relationship between preoperative anemia and DVT.
Results
After matching 1:1 propensity scores in 1049 patients included in this study, there were 258 patients in the anemic and non-anemic groups. Preoperative anemia was statistically significant for the formation of DVT in patients with perioperative bone trauma (P = 0.000, RR = 1.567 [95% CI 1.217–2.017]). This conclusion remained true after PSM (P = 0.009, RR = 1.500 [95% CI 1.105–2.036]). Preoperative anemia has some predictive value for perioperative DVT, with DVT-associated preoperative anemia thresholds of 125 g/L and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.5877 (95% CI 0.5345 to 0.6408). On this basis, sensitivity and specificity were 89.2 and 30.3%, respectively, with a Youden index of 0.195. In addition, we conducted an E-value determination of the propensity score; the E-value analysis showed robustness to unmeasured confounding.
Conclusions
Preoperative anemia is highly correlated with perioperative DVT in patients with bone trauma, which is the cause of perioperative DVT in these patients.
