Risk Factors for Chemotherapy-Associated Venous Thromboses in Gynaecological Oncology Patients.

Conclusion In this patient collective, surgeries represent an independent risk factor for venous thromboses. In addition, a correlation was seen between inpatient thrombosis prophylaxis, leukocytosis as well as port systems and an increased risk of thrombosis. Neither the Khorana nor the Protecht score were independent risk factors for venous thromboses. Significantly more thrombosis patients died during the observation period. PMID: 31656320 [PubMed]
