Conditional catheter-related thrombosis free probability and risk-adapted choices of catheter for lung cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Current predictive tools assess catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) in patients with lung cancer in a static manner at a single time point of catheterization. The subsequent hazard changes over time are unknown. The conditional catheter-related thrombosis-free probability (CCFP) can provide dynamic information on continual CRT-free expectations. This study aimed to assess the CCFP and hazard rates based on risk categories and various venous access devices (VADs).

Methods

This retrospective study reviewed 939 patients with lung cancer with peripherally inserted central venous catheters (PICCs) or central venous catheters (CVCs) identified at the National Clinical Research Center for Cancer between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2018. The incidence of CRT has also b
