Risk prediction of recurrent venous thromboembolism: a multiple genetic risk model.

ABSTRACT: A single genetic biomarker is unable to accurately predict the risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) recurrence. We aimed to: (a) develop a multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) model to predict the risk of VTE recurrence and (b) validate a previously described genetic risk score (GRS) and compare its performance with the model developed in this study. Twenty-two SNPs, including established and putative SNPs associated with VTE risk, were genotyped in the Malmö thrombophilia study cohort (MATS; n?=?1465, follow-up ~?10 years) by using TaqMan PCR. Out of 22-SNPs, 12 had an association with the risk of VTE recurrence and were included for calculating GRSs. The risk of VTE recurrence was calculated by stratifying patients according to number of risk alleles. In 12-SNP GRS, patients with ??7 risk alleles were associated with higher risk of VTE recurrence compared to patients having???6 risk alleles. In a simplified model (8-SNP GRS), the discriminative power of 8-SNP GRS was similar to that of 12-SNP GRS based on post-test probabilities (PP). Furthermore, 8-SNP GRS further improved the risk prediction of VTE recurrence in unprovoked VTE and male patients (PP%?=?15.4 vs 8.3, 17.1 vs 7.2 and 19.0 vs 7.1 for high risk groups vs low risk groups in whole population, males and unprovoked VTE patients respectively). In addition, we also validated previously described 5-SNP GRS in our cohort and found that the 8-SNP GRS performed better than the 5-SNP GRS in terms of higher PP. Our results show that a multiple SNP GRS consisting of 8-SNPs may be an effective model for prediction of VTE recurrence, particularly in unprovoked VTE and male patients.

Project description:ImportanceThe size of the risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) after surgery in patients with a history of VTE is not well known.ObjectivesTo estimate the risk of and to identify the factors associated with recurrent VTE in patients undergoing surgery who have a history of VTE.Design, setting, and participantsThis population-based, follow-up cohort study includes patients with VTE who participated in the Multiple Environment and Genetic Assessment (MEGA) study. Original data were collected from March 1999 to April 2010. Data analysis began in June 1999 and ended in April 2010.ExposuresSurgery following a first VTE.Main outcomes and measurementsKaplan-Meier analyses were used to estimate cumulative incidences of recurrent VTE. Cox regression with a time-dependent covariate (surgery) was used to calculate the hazard ratio (HR) for developing recurrent VTE after surgery compared with no surgery.ResultsOverall, 3741 patients (mean [SD] age, 48.4 [12.8] years; 2020 [54.0%] women) with a history of VTE were included in the analysis, amounting to 18?899 person-years, with a median (interquartile range) follow-up of 5.7 (3.0-7.2) years. Of the 3741 patients, 580 (15.5%) underwent surgery and 601 (16.1%) developed a recurrent thrombotic event. The 1-month cumulative incidence of recurrent VTE for all surgery types was 2.1% (95% CI, 1.2%-3.6%), which increased to 3.3% (95% CI, 2.1%-5.1%) at 3 months and 4.6% (95% CI, 3.1%-6.6%) at 6 months. At 6 months, risk of recurrent VTE ranged from 2.3% to 9.3%, depending on surgery type. In addition to surgery type, factor V Leiden mutation (HR, 3.4; 95% CI, 1.6-7.4) and male sex (HR, 2.7; 95% CI, 1.3-5.8) were associated with increased risk of recurrent VTE.Conclusions and relevanceSurgery was associated with an increased risk of recurrent VTE in patients with a history of VTE; risk remained high for up to 6 months after the procedure. This study suggests that high-risk individuals may be identified based on surgery type, sex, and the presence of factor V Leiden mutation. These findings stress the need for revision of the current thromboprophylactic approach to prevent recurrence in these patients.
