Venous thrombosis, including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, is a common disease that frequently recurs. Recurrence can be prevented by anticoagulants, but this comes at the risk of bleeding. Therefore, assessment of the risk of recurrence is important to balance the risks and benefits of anticoagulant treatment. This review briefly outlines what is currently known about the epidemiology of recurrent venous thrombosis, and focuses in more detail on potential new risk factors for venous recurrence. The general implications of these findings in patient management are discussed.
静脉血栓形成,包括深静脉血栓形成和肺栓塞,是一种常见的疾病,经常复发。抗凝剂可以预防复发,但这存在出血的风险。因此,评估复发风险对于平衡抗凝治疗的风险和益处非常重要。本综述简要概述了目前已知的复发性静脉血栓形成的流行病学情况,并更详细地介绍了静脉血栓复发的潜在新危险因素。讨论了这些发现对患者管理的一般影响。
