Acute pancreatitis patients likely to develop deep vein thrombosis: Study

Chandigarh: In patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) requiring hospitalization, the incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is 5% and increased disease severity and death are closely associated, says an article published in Digestive Diseases and Sciences.

The incidence and risk factors for extremity deep vein thrombosis (eDVT) in individuals with acute pancreatitis are rarely studied. In order to determine the prevalence of eDVT and investigate the value of clinical ratings in predicting eDVT in admitted patients with acute pancreatitis, Terence Susngi and colleagues did this study.

In this study, acute pancreatitis patients were prospectively recruited and underwent weekly eDVT screening for the duration of their hospitalization. Weekly calculations were also performed on Well's and Padua's scores. On the basis of a contrast-enhanced CT scan of the abdomen, the incidence of venous thrombosis (eDVT and splanchnic thrombosis) was recorded, and the risk variables were identified using multivariate analysis. The development of DVT was correlated with the Well's and Padua's scores using Pearson's correlation.

The key findings of this study were:

1. 73% of the 102 acute pancreatitis patients who were recruited had necrotizing pancreatitis.

2. 46 patients (45.1%) in total experienced thrombosis, of which 43 experienced splanchnic vein thrombosis, 5 experienced eDVT, and 1 experienced pulmonary embolism.

3. Patients with eDVT exhibited higher BISAP scores, greater death rates, and higher rates of mechanical ventilation (60% vs. 8.2%).

4. In comparison to Pauda's score, Well's score of 2 exhibited a greater connection with the development of eDVT and had sensitivity and specificity of 80% and 96.9% for eDVT prediction.

In conclusion, overall thrombotic problems were 45% more common in AP patients, whereas eDVT was 5% more common. Necrotizing pancreatitis, more worse illness, and greater mortality are all linked to eDVT. In ordinary clinical practice, the Well's score is helpful for predicting the emergence of eDVT.
