This study was conducted to examine predictive factors of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in gynecologic cancer survivors with lower extremity edema (LEE). In the current single-center, retrospective study, there was a total of 315 eligible patients, including 80 patients with DVT and 235 without DVT. They were therefore divided into two groups: the DVT group (n = 80) and the non-DVT group (n = 235). Then, baseline and clinical characteristics of the patients were compared between the two groups. In our study, distant organ metastasis, advanced stage, lymphadectomy, and amount of intraoperative blood loss had a positive predictive value for the occurrence of DVT in gynecologic cancer survivors presenting LEE. In conclusion, our results indicate that it is necessary to consider the possibility of LEE arising from DVT in gynecologic cancer survivors with advanced-stage cancer, distant organ metastasis, lymphadectomy, and intraoperative blood loss over 1500 mL.
本研究旨在探讨伴有下肢水肿(LEE)的妇科癌症幸存者发生深静脉血栓形成(DVT)的预测因素。在当前这项单中心回顾性研究中,共有315例符合条件的患者,其中80例发生DVT,235例未发生DVT。因此,他们被分为两组:DVT组(n = 80)和非DVT组(n = 235)。然后,对两组患者的基线和临床特征进行比较。在我们的研究中,远处器官转移、晚期、淋巴结清扫术以及术中失血量对出现LEE的妇科癌症幸存者发生DVT具有阳性预测价值。总之,我们的结果表明,对于患有晚期癌症、远处器官转移、接受淋巴结清扫术且术中失血量超过1500 mL的妇科癌症幸存者,有必要考虑LEE由DVT引起的可能性。
