Relationship Between The Embolism and Blood Group in Cancer Patients with Deep Vein Thrombosis

Abstract

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) including the pulmonary embolism and / or deep vein thrombosis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Many risk factors had been investigated for VTE and still under investigation. Blood group antigen is one of these factor.Methods: Patients who followed and treated between 2004-2012 in the oncology clinic of Bülent Ecevit University School of Medicine were retrospectively studied.Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups for age, gender and laboratory parameters. The most common type of cancers were colorectal, gynecological and breast cancer. We detected 52% of blood group A in the DVT group and there was no significant difference with the control group (OR 1.3, CI 95%, P 0.37). 0 blood group had detected fewer than control but there was no statistical significance between the groups (OR 0.6 CI 95%, P 0.2).In conclusion, our study showed that, ABO blood group did not have an additional risk factor for the development of DVT in cancer patients. The difference from the other studies is our stud population had only cancer patients. Also, many factors can increase tendency to thrombosis in cancer patients due to cancer.

Abstract

Amaç: Venöz tromboembolizm (VTE) pulmoner embolizm ve/veya derin ven trombozundan oluşan önemli bir morbidite ve mortalite sebebidir. VTE için birçok risk faktörü araştırılma konusu olmuştur ve halen araştırılmaktadır. Kan grubu antijenleri de bu konulardan biridir.Metod: Bülent Ecevit Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Onkoloji kliniğinde 2004-2012 yılları arasında tedavi alan ve takipleri yapılan hasta dosyaları retrospektif olarak incelendi.Bulgular: Her iki grup arasında yaş, cinsiyet ve laboratuar özellikleri arasında istatiksel olarak anlamlı fark saptanmadı. En çok görülen kanser türleri kolorektal, jinekolojik maligniteler ve meme kanseriydi. A kan grubu DVT grubunda %52 oranında saptanmış olup kontrol grubu ile anlamlı fark izlenmedi (OR 1.3, CI %95, P 0.37). 0 kan grubu olanlarda DVT daha az saptanmakla birlikte istatiksel anlam yoktu (OR 0.6 CI%95, P 0.2). Sonuç olarak bizim hasta grubumuzda kan grubunun DVT gelişimi için ek bir risk faktörü katmadığı ortaya konulmuş olup diğer çalışmalardakinden faklı olması da bizim hasta grubunun sadece kanser hastalarından oluşmasına bağlı olabilirdi. Ayrıca kanser hastalarında birçok faktöre bağlı olarak tromboz eğiliminde artış olabilmektedir.
