Incidence and risk factors of VTE in lung cancer: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lung cancer has maintained a high prevalence and mortality. Besides, venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the third most common disease of cardiovascular disease. Lung cancer with VTE usually influenced the overall survival in the follow-up. In the development of lung cancer, vigilance against and early diagnosis of VTE is of significance.

Methods

We searched the databases of PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane for related research up to 30 November 2023 and extracted information of incidence, odds ratio (OR), hazard ratio (HR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs), for evaluating the incidence of VTE and its risk factors.

Results

A total of 54 articles and 873,292 records were included in our study. The pooled incidences of VTE and PE were 6% and 3%,
