Predictors of inferior vena cava filter retrieval in a population-based Canadian cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The objective of this study was to determine the predictors of inferior vena cava (IVC) filter retrieval in a contemporary North American cohort of patients who received an IVC filter.

Methods

A retrospective population-based cohort study was conducted using Ontario administrative health data. Physician service fee codes were used to identify all adults with an IVC filter placement from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2019. The cumulative incidence of filter retrieval over time was calculated, accounting for death as a competing risk. Multivariable sub-distribution hazard regression models were constructed to quantify the association between covariates and the likelihood of filter retrieval.

Results

A total of 5617 people received an IVC filter during the
