Venous Thromboembolism during Pregnancy and Postpartum: Study in a Tertiary Hospital
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Result: The overall incidence of symptomatic VTE among the study subjects was 0.28% (25/9,041 deliveries), representing an incidence of Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Thrombo Embolism (PTE) of 0.22% and 0.05%, respectively. During the pregnancy and postpartum periods, 19 and 6 VTE cases, respectively, were observed. The risk of DVT was possibly the highest in the first trimester. All the objectively confirmed PTEs typically presented postpartum or within 26 days of delivery. Further, 96% of VTE cases had one or more large anamnestic risk factor(s). The effect was small, but the incidence of VTE (0.40% vs 0.14%) decreased by 65% during the post-implementation period.

BACKGROUND Pregnancy-related venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. A new risk assessment model for VTE in relation to pregnancy has been introduced in Sweden. We wished to determine the proportion of preventable VTE cases if the model had been in use and make a brief cost-benefit analysis. METHODS A hospital-based retrospective case-control study o...

Preeclampsia is associated with increased peripheral resistance. This study was performed to determine whether an increase of venous distensibility occurs as well in preeclampsia. We obtained venous distensibility by measuring the venous pressure-volume relation in the forearm with a water-filled plethysmograph. Twenty-one women with normal pregnancy, 12 women with severe preeclampsia, and 8 wo...
