A Systemic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Risk of Venous Thromboembolic Events in Parkinson's Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder affecting more than 10 million people worldwide. The actual prevalence and relative risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in PD have not been systematically examined, especially in various study designs and surgical settings. To address this gap in knowledge, we conducted a meta-analysis on the risk of VTE and in PD.

Methods

We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane from inception to 22 June 2024 to identify cross-sectional, cohort, and case-control studies comparing the frequency of VTE, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) events in PD and non-PD patients. We computed risk ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for each study and pooled results using a random-effects meta-
