Three-Month Outcomes in Cancer Patients with Superficial or Deep Vein Thrombosis in the Lower Limbs: Results from the RIETE Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The clinical characteristics and outcomes of cancer patients with lower-limb isolated superficial vein thrombosis (SVT) have not been consistently evaluated.

Methods

We used data in the RIETE registry to compare the clinical characteristics and 90-day outcomes for patients with: (1) active cancer and lower-limb SVT; (2) active cancer and lower-limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT); (3) lower-limb SVT without cancer. The primary outcomes included subsequent symptomatic SVT, DVT or pulmonary embolism (PE). Secondary outcomes were major bleeding and death.

Results

From March 2015 to April 2021, there were 110 patients with cancer and SVT, 1695 with cancer and DVT, and 1030 with SVT but no cancer. Most patients in all subgroups (93%, 99% and 96%, respectively) receiv
