Prognostic Nomogram for Predicting Lower Extremity Deep Venous Thrombosis in Neurointensive Care Unit Patients: A Prospective Observational Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremities is one of the common complications for neurointensive care unit patients, which leads to increased morbidity and mortality. The purpose of our study was to explore risk factors and develop a prognostic nomogram for lower extremity DVT in neurointensive care unit patients.

Methods

We prospectively collected and analyzed the clinical data of 420 neurointensive care unit patients who received treatment in our institution between January 2018 and September 2019. Stepwise logistic regression was used to select predictors. R software was used to develop the prognostic nomogram. The performance of the nomogram was validated using a validation cohort of patients with data collected between October 2019 and March 2020.<
