Epidemiological status and risk factors of deep vein thrombosis in patients with femoral neck fracture

Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and clarify the risk factors of DVT in patients with femoral neck fracture. Methods A self-designed questionnaire was used to collect the clinical data of 1209 patients with femoral neck fracture in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2019. The content of the questionnaire mainly includes general information, past medical history, history of present illness, operation related information, occurrence of DVT. The collected data were entered into Excel to analyze the incidence and risk factors of DVT in patients with femoral neck fracture. Chi square test and binary logistic regression model was used to screen the risk factors of DVT. Results 1209 cases of femoral neck fracture were included in this study. The incidence of DVT was 28.0% (339 patients). Among them, 71.7% (243 patients) were preoperative DVT and 28.3% (96 patients) were postoperative DVT. For the risk-factor analysis, gender, age, time from injury to hospitalization, operative method, anesthesia method and intraoperative blood loss were independent risk factors for DVT. Conclusion The incidence of DVT in patients with femoral neck fracture is relatively high, and there are many related risk factors.

Automated summary

This study investigated the incidence and risk factors of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients with femoral neck fracture. The results showed a relatively high incidence of DVT in these patients, with multiple related risk factors.
