Background And Purpose
Method
Clinical data on 255 LETM patients were collected from medical records. All patients were performed color Doppler ultrasound(US) to screen DVT in both lower extremities when admitted. Clinical characteristics of LETM patients with DVT were compared with those without DVT using corresponding statistical methods. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify risk factors related to DVT.
Conclusion
DVT is common in patients with LETM and related to patient's age, dyslipidemia, segments of lesions, and elevated baseline D-dimer. Early recognition of DVT and thrombosis prophylaxis are appropriate in patients with LETM.
Main results
DVT were found in 11.8% patients with LETM. Univariate analysis showed that age, muscle force and elevated baseline D-dimer were risk factors for DVT. After multivariate logistic regression, age, dyslipidemia, segments of lesions, and elevated baseline D-dimer remained significant independent risk factors.
