Risk Prediction Models for Preoperative Deep Vein Thrombosis in Older Patients with Hip Fracture: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To systematically assess the risk prediction models for preoperative deep vein thrombosis in older patients with hip fractures.

Method

We searched four databases for literature through November 17, 2023. We included patients aged ≥60 with hip fractures and considered English-language case-control or cohort studies that focused on developing and/or validating risk prediction models for DVT in this population. Excluded were studies that solely analyzed risk factors without constructing a prediction model, had fewer than 2 predictive variables, or were not available in full-text or were duplicate publications. The Predictive Model Bias Risk Assessment tool was utilized to evaluate risk of bias. The area under the curve (AUC) values were meta-analyzed using R Studio so
