Risk factors for postoperative venous thromboembolism in patients with lung cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious complication following lung cancer surgery, which not only complicates treatment but may also delay cancer-specific therapies and even threaten patient survival. Currently, the risk factors for postoperative VTE in lung cancer patients remain unclear. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to identify risk factors associated with VTE in these patients after surgery.

Methods

We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), and VIP Database for studies investigating risk factors for VTE after lung cancer surgery. The search covered the period from database inception to February 2025. Two
