METHODS: The subjects were hospitalized patients in three grade III-a hospitals in the Qinghai Province, China, during January-October 2020. The demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were collected at admission, and ultrasonography of the bilateral lower extremities was performed. The hospital stay-duration was recorded at the time of discharge.
RESULTS: A total of 3432 patients were enrolled, of which 159 (4.60%) were diagnosed with DVT. The age of > 50 years (OR = 2.434, 95% CI: 1.521-3.894252, P < 0.001), residence altitude of ≥ 3000 m (OR = 2.346, 95% CI: 1.239-4.440, P = 0.009), D-dimer level of ≥ 0.5 mg/L (OR = 2.211, 95% CI: 1.547-3.161, P < 0.001), presence of comorbidities (OR = 1.904, 95% CI: 1.386-2.705, P < 0.001), a history of varicose veins (OR = 1.990, 95% CI: 0.959-4.128, P = 0.045), and current medications (OR = 2.484, 95% CI: 1.778-3.471, P < 0.001) were identified as risk factors for DVT in these plateau areas.
CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of DVT in the hospitalized patients of the studied plateau areas was 4.60%. We recommend considering individualized risk stratification (age > 50 years, residence altitude ≥ 3000 m, a history of varicose veins, D-dimer level ≥ 0.5 mg/L, current medications, and comorbidities) for patients at the time of admission.
方法:研究对象为青海省三家三级甲等医院住院患者,中国,2020年1月至10月。人口统计,临床,入院时收集实验室数据,并进行了双侧下肢的超声检查。出院时记录住院时间。
结果:共纳入3432例患者,其中159例(4.60%)诊断为DVT。年龄>50岁(OR=2.434,95%CI:1.521-3.894252,P<0.001),居住高度≥3000米(OR=2.346,95%CI:1.239-4.440,P=0.009),D-二聚体水平≥0.5mg/L(OR=2.211,95%CI:1.547-3.161,P<0.001),合并症的存在(OR=1.904,95%CI:1.386-2.705,P<0.001),静脉曲张病史(OR=1.990,95%CI:0.959-4.128,P=0.045),和目前的药物治疗(OR=2.484,95%CI:1.778-3.471,P<0.001)被确定为这些高原地区DVT的危险因素。
结论:高原地区住院患者DVT的患病率为4.60%。我们建议考虑个性化风险分层(年龄>50岁,居住高度≥3000m,静脉曲张病史,D-二聚体水平≥0.5mg/L,目前的药物,和合并症)入院时的患者。
