From early risk to 1-year mortality: a comprehensive assessment of postoperative venous thromboembolism in upper gastrointestinal cancer patients - a nationwide cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a well-recognized complication following gastrointestinal cancer surgery, particularly early postoperatively. The incidence and risk factors of VTE within 1-year after esophageal (including esophago-gastric junction) (ECS) and gastric (GCS) cancer surgeries, and especially its impact on 1-year global mortality, are yet under-explored.

Methods

This nationwide observational population-based cohort study used data extracted from all patients undergoing ECS and GCS in France between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2017. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify risk factors for 90 postoperative days (POD) VTE (OR 95% CI). Cox proportional hazards models investigated the impact of 1-year postoperative VTE on 1-year global mort
