BACKGROUND
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common and lethal disease. Assessing the risk factors will help to modify exposures.
AIM
This study, assessed VTE risk factors in hospitalized patients at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Enugu.
PATIENTS AND METHODS
This was an observational, case-control study. Three hundred and fifty (350) patients were recruited for the study: This comprised 150 medical patients, 140 surgical patients and a population of 60 healthy control group. Subjects were evaluated once using the Caprini risk assessment model (RAM).
RESULTS
Over 50% of all hospitalized patients, were at risk for VTE. Surgical patients were at a higher risk than medical patients. Hemoglobin concentration was associated with the risk of VTE in surgical patients, while d-dimer was associated with VTE risk in medical patients.
CONCLUSION
This study shows a high prevalence of VTE risk factors among hospitalized patients at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital.
背景
静脉血栓栓塞症（VTE）是一种常见且致命的疾病。评估风险因素有助于改变暴露情况。
目的
本研究旨在评估尼日利亚大学教学医院住院患者的 VTE 风险因素。
患者和方法
这是一项观察性病例对照研究。共招募了 350 名患者：其中包括 150 名内科患者、140 名外科患者和 60 名健康对照组。采用 Caprini 风险评估模型（RAM）对受试者进行一次性评估。
结果
超过 50%的住院患者存在 VTE 风险。外科患者的风险高于内科患者。血红蛋白浓度与外科患者的 VTE 风险相关，而 D-二聚体与内科患者的 VTE 风险相关。
结论
本研究表明，尼日利亚大学教学医院住院患者的 VTE 风险因素患病率较高。
