Key result
Anemia is linked to ~8-fold higher DVT risk in peripartum women with lower limb inequality.
Why the study?
Peripheral vein thrombosis during pregnancy poses serious diagnostic challenges because its clinical symptoms intertwine with normal pregnancy modifications.
Do paraclinical test results predict deep vein thrombosis in pregnant and postpartum women presenting with significant lower limb inequality?
Population
Singleton pregnant women and women in the first six weeks postpartum presenting with significant lower limb inequality

Anemia may flag higher DVT risk in this cohort; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Do paraclinical test results predict deep vein thrombosis in pregnant and postpartum women presenting with significant lower limb inequality?
Odds Ratio: 8.46
p-value: p=0.003
In pregnant and postpartum women with lower limb inequality, specific paraclinical markers including anemia, MPV, PDW, and fibrinogen are significant predictors of deep vein thrombosis.
Filip et al. (2025) conducted an observational in Deep vein thrombosis. Anemia and altered platelet indices (MPV, PDW) vs. Absence of anemia / normal platelet indices was evaluated on Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) (OR 8.46, p=0.003). Among pregnant and postpartum women with lower limb inequality, the presence of anemia increased the risk of deep vein thrombosis 8.46-fold (p=0.003).
