Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a frequent cardiovascular disorder. It is among the main causes of morbidity and mortality among hospitalized patients and, at the same time, can be easily avoided. Studies clarified that there are a variety of factors which can be significantly associated with the development of DVT in hospitalized patients.
to identify frequency and factors associated with occurrence of DVT among hypertensive patients referred to KAU hospital, Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
A cross-sectional hospital-based study was conducted from October 2016 to March, 2017. All hypertensive patients referred to or admitted to the hospital departments and who were suspected to have DVT and subjected to Doppler examination were included in the study. A questionnaire was designed to obtain data about DVT frequency among participants and factors associated with the development of DVT among them. Data was collected through face to face interviews of patients included in the study.
DVT was detected in 13.5 % of the studied hypertensive patients. Increased age and gender had no significant association with the development of DVT among the studied patients. In addition, other studied factors and comorbidities had no significant role in DVT development among the study participants.
Knowing the most common risk factors and their significance in developing DVT is essential for early detection of DVT to prevent it, especially for hypertensive patients. Awareness campaigns should be held more often in different neighborhoods of the city.

确定沙特阿拉伯王国吉达市KAU医院收治的高血压患者中DVT的发生频率及相关因素。
2016年10月至2017年3月进行了一项基于医院的横断面研究。所有转诊至或入住医院各科室、疑似患有DVT并接受多普勒检查的高血压患者均纳入研究。设计了一份问卷，以获取参与者中DVT的发生频率以及与他们发生DVT相关的因素的数据。通过对纳入研究的患者进行面对面访谈收集数据。
在所研究的高血压患者中，13.5%检测出DVT。年龄增长和性别与所研究患者中DVT的发生无显著关联。此外，其他所研究的因素和合并症在研究参与者的DVT发生中无显著作用。
