Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of the risk factors
from the point of thrombophilic gene mutations (TGM) with type and inter-cooperation’s
on recurrence in venous thromboembolism (VTE) patients.This retrospectively and
cross-sectionally designed study was conducted between 2008–2009. The VTE
patients, who were evaluated for TGM were elected. Among a total of 109
patients, the mean age at first VTE event was 42.6±14.1 years. Fifty-nine
(54.1%) patients were male. While 33 (30.3%) patients had primary VTE, 46
(42.2%) patients had recurrent VTE (rVTE). In the univariate analysis, the
significant variables associated with the increased rate of rVTE were age ≥40
years, first event at in-hospital, malignancy, internal medical disease, TGM,
factor V Leiden, prothrombin G20210A. The analyses of different mutation count
on rVTE pointed that, there were significant differences in recurrence rates,
except groups with no mutation and one mutation. Additionally, with the
increasing number of clinical risk factors and TGM per case were considerably
associated with rVTE in both univariate and multivariate analysis. Regarding
the risk of rVTE, the TGMs were significant but do not appear to play a vital
role per se. However, simultaneous existence of clinical risk factors,
including TGM seem to be more important for the prediction of rVTE.

Tekrarlayan Venöz Tromboemboli’ye Trombofilik Gen Mutasyonunun Etkisi: Geriye-Dönük Kesitsel Bir Araştırma

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, trombofilik gene mutasyonu (TGM) tipi ve
birlikteliği açısından tekrarlayan venöz tromboemboli (rVTE) hastalarında risk
faktörlerinin etkinliğinin değerlendirilmesidir. Geriye-yönelik ve kesitsel
olarak tasarlanan bu çalışma, 2008-2009 yılları arasında gerçekleştirildi. TGM
açısından tetkik edilen VTE hastaları çalışmaya alındı. Toplam 109 hastada ilk
VTE atak yaşı ortalaması 42.6±14.1 yıl idi. Ellidokuz (%54.1) hasta erkekti.
Otuzüç (%30.3) hastada birincil VTE mevcut iken 46 (%42.6) hastada rVTE
bulunmaktaydı. Tek değişkenli analizde artmış rVTE oranı ile belirgin
birliktelik gösteren değişkenler yaş ≥40 yıl, ilk atağın hastane-içi’nde
olması, malignite, dahili hastalık, TGM, faktör V Leiden ve protrombin G20210A
mutasyonu idi. Farklı mutasyon sayılarının rVTE için analizi, mutasyonu olmayan
ve tek gen mutasyonu olan hastalar haricinde belirgin farklılık göstermektedir.
Ek olarak, artan hasta başına klinik risk faktörü ve TGM sayısı rVTE ile hem
tek değişkenli hem de çok değişkenli analizlerde belirgin ilişkili saptandı. Tekrarlayan
VTE açısından TGM’ları, rVTE riskini arttırmakta, ancak tek başlarına önemli
bir rol oynamıyor gibi görünmektedir. Ancak, TGM da dahil olmak üzere klinik
risk faktörlerinin eş zamanlı birlikteliği, rVTE’nin öngörüsünde daha önemli
görünmektedir.
