Abstract

Objective: The most important component of VTE which poses threat to life is pulmonary embolism. The purpose of this study is to perform etiological examination of the patients who apply to department hematology of our hospital and diagnosed with VTE. 

Material and Method: In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the factors, which can play role for etiology, the patients with VTE who received treatment during 2009-2012 in our hospital.

Results: The patients with VT is 83 in total. There was a statistically significant difference of PE (p=0,028), localization of pulmonary embolism was more frequent the age group of >40 compared to ≤30 (p=0,008). There was statistically significant difference among age groups for SVT (p=0,005), SVT was higher for age groups ≤30 and >40 compared to age group of 31-40 (p=0,010 and p=0,017). When the findings were evaluated as normal/heterozygote+homozygote for FV Leiden, the rates of heterozygote/homozygote was lower for the age groups of ≤30 and >40 compared to age group 31-40 (p=0,013 and p=0,035).

Conclusion: Inherited and acquired risk factors must be systematically evaluated in an appropriate manner. This evaluation proposes anticoagulant therapy for risky cases, determines duration of the therapy.

Venöz Tromborembolili Hastaların Etiyolojik açıdan Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Venöz tromborembolinin en önemli komponenti hayatı tehdit eden pulmoner embolidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı hastanemizde hematoloji bölümüne başvuran ve venöz tromboemboli tanısı konulan hastalarda etiyolojik açıdan değerlendirmedir. 

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmada hastanemizde 2009-2012 yılları arasında venöz tromboemboli tanısı almış ve tedavi uygulanmış hastalarda retrospektif olarak etiyolojik faktörleri değerlendirdik.

Bulgular: Toplam 83 hasta değerlendirildi. Pulmoner embolinin istatistik olarak anlamlı olarak fazla görüldü (p=0,028) ve pulmoner embolinin >40 hastalar ≤30 hastalarla karşılaştırıldığında anlamlı olduğu görüldü (p=0,008).Sinüs Ven Trombozu yaş grupları arasında farklılık izlendi (p=0,005). SVT ≤30 ve >40 hastalarla karşılaştırıldığında (p=0,010 and p=0,017) anlamlı farklılık görüldü. FV Leiden normal/heterozigot+homozigot değerlendirildiğinde heterozigot+homozigot ≤30 ve >40 yaş üzerinde 31-40 yaş grubuyla karşılaştırıldığında daha düşük sıklıkta olduğu görülmüştür (p=0,013 and p=0,035)

Sonuç: Kalıtsal ve edinilmiş risk faktörleri uygun bir şekilde sistematik olarak değerlendirilmelidir. Bu değerlendirmede, riskli vakalarda antikoagülan tedavi önerilmekte ve tedavinin süresini belirlemektedir.
