This study, using a health insurance database in Taiwan, found an association between benzodiazepine use and an increased risk of deep vein thrombosis, with a dose-dependent relationship. It highlights the importance of evaluating benzodiazepine prescription to reduce the risk of developing DVT.
Benzodiazepines have sedative effects that cause reduced activity in users and may increase the risk of deep vein thrombosis. However, few studies have examined this potential risk of benzodiazepine use. This study examined the association between benzodiazepine use and the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in adults in Taiwan using a longitudinal health insurance database. The study population included 12,546 individuals with DVT and 50,184 matched controls. Results showed that benzodiazepine use was associated with an increased risk of DVT occurrence (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 1.66; 95 % CI, 1.54-1.79; P <0.001), with a dose-response relationship. Patients with a higher defined daily dose had a higher risk of DVT, with ORs of 1.65-, 2.09-, and 2.16-fold higher for those with an average benzodiazepine dose of <0.5, 0.5-0.9, or >= 1 (DDD/day), respectively, compared to nonbenzodiazepine users. Stratification by age, sex, and follow-up duration yielded similar results. This study highlights the need to evaluate the association and benefits of benzodiazepine prescription to decrease the risk of DVT development.
