One-Year Incidences of Venous Thromboembolism, Bleeding, and Death in Patients With Lung Cancer (Cancer-VTE Subanalysis).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This subanalysis aimed to provide real-world data on venous thromboembolism (VTE) from patients with lung cancer in the Cancer-VTE Registry.

Methods

The primary outcome was the number of baseline VTE events in patients with lung cancer. The 1-year cumulative incidences of symptomatic VTE; composite VTE (symptomatic and incidental VTE requiring treatment); bleeding; cerebral infarction, transient ischemic attack, and systemic embolic events; and all-cause death were calculated. Clinical trial registration: UMIN000024942.

Results

The study enrolled a total of 2377 patients with lung cancer; of these, 119 (5.0%) had VTE (six [0.3%], symptomatic, and 113 [4.8%], asymptomatic) and 14 (0.6%) had pulmonary embolism at baseline. During the follow-up period (mean,
