A prospective study of the incidence of deep‐vein thrombosis within a defined urban population
Tóm tắt
In a prospective study all positive phlebographies within the well‐defined population of the city of MalmÖ, Sweden, during 1987 were studied in order to determine the incidence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Epidemiological data were analysed for the detection of patient groups at increased risk of DVT. The incidence was found to be equal for both sexes, i.e. 1.6 per 1000 inhabitants and year. Risk factors were found to be in accordance with earlier studies. The median age for men was 66 years, compared to 72 years for women. At diagnosis of DVT, 19% of subjects had a known malignancy and within 1 year 5% (19 cases) developed a new malignancy. Of the men, 29% had postoperative or post‐traumatic (fracture) DVT, compared to 46% of the women. Fewer patients with DVT than expected (39%) belonged to blood group 0 (31%) (
