Rationale and design of a prospective, multicenter, cohort study on the evaluation of postoperative Venous ThromboEmbolism incidence in patients with ColoRectal Cancer (CRC-VTE trial).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a common complication after abdominal surgery. The incidence of VTE after colorectal malignancy is higher than that after general surgery. Although more attention has been paid to the prevention of VTE, there is still a large gap between clinical practice and guideline recommendation.

Methods

The Venous ThromboEmbolism incidence in patients with ColoRectal Cancer (CRC-VTE trial) will be a prospective, multicenter, cohort study to determine the current status of the incidence, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of VTE after colorectal cancer surgery in China, as well as to further improve the level of prevention and treatment of VTE events in these fragile patients.
