Clinical Risk Factors of Asymptomatic Deep Venous Thrombosis in Patients With Acute Stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a common complication after stroke. It is easy to identify the patients with symptomatic DVT; however, the tool for asymptomatic high-risk population needs to be further explored. Our aim was to explore the risk factors of acute stroke patients with asymptomatic DVT.

Methods

We performed a prospective observation study among 452 patients with acute stroke who had a stroke within 14 days. Ultrasound examination of deep veins was repeatedly performed in each patient for DVT every 7 days during his admission. The dynamic rate of DVT in acute stroke was analyzed. Then risk factors were compared between DVT patients and non-DVT patients. The predictive model was explored based on thr cox proportion model.

Results
