Abstract Number: PB1225

Meeting: ISTH 2021 Congress

Theme: Venous Thromboembolism » VTE Prophylaxis

Background: • Appropriate thromboprophylaxis for patients at-risk can reduce the incid ence of venous thromboembolism (VTE).
•  In recent years, the incidence of VTE has been increasing in China. This suggests that despite the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) guideline’s recommendations, utilization of anticoagulants is suboptimal.
•  Active cancer is one of the risk factors of VTE. Hence, improvement of awareness and practice of VTE prophylaxis in the medical oncology inpatients is urgently needed.

Aims: To investigate the risk profile of VTE and evaluate VTE prophylaxis implementation in patients with cancer in China.

Methods: DissolVE-2 was a retrospective, multicenter, observational, cross-sectional study enrolling 14000 patients in China. Here we report the results from the subgroup analysis in patients with cancer.

Results:  A total of 1535 patients with cancer were included. According to the Padua score, 826 (53.8%) patients were at low risk of VTE, while 709 (46.2%) patients were at high VTE risk. Among patients with high VTE risk, 93.9% did not receive any VTE prophylaxis, and only 11 (1.6%) patients received appropriate VTE prophylaxis as per ACCP guidelines. VTE events occurred in 9 (0.6%; 4 and 5 patients in the low and high VTE risk group respectively) patients during hospitalization.Among high risk patients who received VTE prevention, no VTE events were observed.(Table 1) A total of 55 (3.6%) patients (24 patients with low risk of bleeding, 31 patients with higher risk of blood) occurred bleeding events. (Table 2)  53 patients were identified as unrelated to VTE therapy and 2 patients could not be determined.

Conclusions: Nearly half of the in-patients with cancer were at high risk of VTE, but most of them did not receive VTE prophylaxis. This real-world data highlights an urgent need to increase awareness and appropriate VTE prophylaxis in China to improve the management of VTE risk in oncology inpatients.
