Functional limitations 3 and 12 months after venous thromboembolism: a cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is associated with various long-term complications.

Objectives

We aimed to investigate the association of clinical characteristics at VTE diagnosis with functional limitations 3 and 12 months afterward.

Methods

We conducted a prospective cohort study of VTE patients, excluding patients with cancer, pregnancy, and postpartum period. Functional limitations were assessed with the post-VTE functional status (PVFS) scale (range, 0-4) within 21 days of diagnosis, after 3 and 12 months (prospectively), and 1 month before diagnosis (retrospectively). Twelve-month follow-up was only performed in patients on anticoagulation. We fitted 2 proportional odds logistic regression models for the 3- and 12-month follow-ups and computed odds ratio
