Predictive risk factors for venous thromboembolism in neurosurgical patients: A retrospective analysis single center cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) has a major effect on morbidity and mortality in neurosurgical patients. However, identifying risk factors that may be useful in practice is a challenge. The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence and determine the predictors of VTE in patients undergoing neurosurgery.

Materials and methods

This retrospective, single-center cohort study was conducted on adult patients admitted to a private hospital for a primary elective neurosurgical procedure between January 2015 and December 2020. Univariate analysis was used to examine clinical factors, and multivariable regression analysis was used to identify predictors of VTE. The area under the receiver-operating characteristic (AUROC) curve demonstrated the fitting model and di
