Key result
Preoperative anemia significantly increased the risk of perioperative deep vein thrombosis in patients with bone trauma (RR 1.50, 95% CI 1.105-2.036, P=0.009).
Why the study?
The incidence of perioperative lower extremity DVT remains high in bone trauma despite active prevention, and the relationship between preoperative anemia and DVT is unclear.
Does preoperative anemia increase the risk of perioperative deep vein thrombosis in patients with femoral and pelvic fractures?
Population
1049 patients with femoral and pelvic fractures who received surgical treatment
Comparison
Preoperative anemia vs non-anemia
Design
Retrospective propensity score-matched cohort study

Preoperative anemia is a significant risk factor for perioperative deep vein thrombosis in patients undergoing surgery for femoral and pelvic fractures.
Zhang et al. (2022) conducted a cohort in Perioperative bone trauma (femoral and pelvic fractures) (n=701). Preoperative anemia vs. Non-anemic was evaluated on Perioperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) (RR 1.500, 95% CI 1.105-2.036, p=0.009). Preoperative anemia significantly increased the risk of perioperative deep vein thrombosis in patients with bone trauma (RR 1.50, 95% CI 1.105-2.036, P=0.009).
