Incidence and risk of venous thromboembolism according to primary treatment in women with ovarian cancer: A retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to investigate incidence and risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) according to primary treatment in women with ovarian cancer.

Methods

We selected 26,863 women newly diagnosed with ovarian cancer between 2009 and 2018 from the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service databases. During the total follow-up period and the first six months after initiation of primary treatments, incidence and risk of VTE were evaluated according to primary treatment as no treatment, surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy.

Results

The mean follow-up period was 1285.5±6 days. The VTE incidence was highest in women who underwent chemotherapy (306 per 10,000 women). Among women who underwent surgery, VTE was highest in surgery with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (536 per 10,000 women), followed by surgery with adjuvant chemotherapy (360 per 10,000 women) and surgery alone (132 per 10,000 women). During the first 12 months, monthly incidence of VTE decreased. Compared with women with no treatment, risk of VTE significantly increased in women undergoing chemotherapy (HR 1.297; 95% CI, 1.08-1.557; P = 0.005) during the total follow-up period and decreased in women undergoing surgery (HR 0.557; 95% CI, 0.401-0.775; P<0.001) and radiotherapy (HR 0.289; 95% CI, 0.119-0.701; P = 0.006) during the first six months. Among women who underwent surgery, VTE risk significantly increased in surgery with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (HR 4.848; 95% CI, 1.86-12.632; P = 0.001) followed by surgery with adjuvant chemotherapy (HR 2.807; 95% CI, 1.757-4.485; P<0.001) compared with surgery alone during the total follow-up period and in surgery with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (HR 4.223; 95% CI, 1.37-13.022; P = 0.012) during the first six months.

Conclusions

In this large Korean cohort study, incidence and risk of VTE were highest in women with ovarian cancer who underwent chemotherapy and surgery with neoadjuvant chemotherapy as a primary cancer treatment. Incidence of VTE decreased over time.

Project description:BackgroundCurrent prophylaxes and treatments for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in women with gynecologic cancer are mainly guided by studies on solid cancers because studies in gynecologic cancer did not provide sufficient data. Large-scale studies evaluating the incidence and risk of VTE according to therapeutic modality may guide prophylaxis and treatment of VTE in gynecologic cancer. This study was performed to determine the incidence and risk of VTE according to primary treatment type in Korean women with endometrial cancer.MethodsWe selected 26,256 women newly diagnosed with endometrial cancer between 2009 and 2018 from the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service database. During the total follow-up period and first six months after primary treatments initiation, the incidence and risk of VTE were evaluated according to primary treatment type, that is, no treatment, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or hormone therapy.ResultsVTE occurred in 136 per 10,000 women during the total follow-up period and in 54 per 10,000 women during the first six months with the highest frequency in women that underwent chemotherapy. During the first year, the monthly incidence of VTE decreased with time among women that underwent no treatment, surgery, or hormone therapy and remained unchanged in those that received radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Compared with women that received no treatment, VTE risk, especially of PE significantly increased in women that underwent chemotherapy (VTE: hazard ratio (HR), 2.334; 95% CI, 1.38-3.949; P = 0.002) (PE: HR, 2.742; 95% CI, 1.424-5.278; P = 0.003) or hormone therapy (VTE: HR, 2.073; 95% CI, 1.356-3.17; P = 0.001) (PE: HR, 2.086; 95% CI, 1.19-3.657; P = 0.01) during the total follow-up period and women that underwent only chemotherapy during the first six months (VTE: HR, 2.532; 95% CI, 1.291-4.966; P = 0.007) (PE: HR, 3.366; 95% CI, 1.496-7.576; P = 0.003).ConclusionsIn this cohort study, the incidence and risk of VTE were highest in women with endometrial cancer that underwent chemotherapy as a primary treatment. Notably, the incidence of VTE decreased over time in women that received no treatment, surgery, or hormone therapy. This study can help guide therapies for prophylaxis and treatment of VTE in women with endometrial cancer.

Project description:ObjectivesTo determine the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and the incidence of hospital-acquired VTE (HA-VTE) arising within the population served by the Ireland East Hospital Group (IEHG).Design/home/user/Documents/Sathish Kumar G/RFO/June/21-06-2019/bmjopen_iss_9_7_20190621_1/ A retrospective observational study was conducted using hospital discharge data obtained from the hospital inpatient enquiry data reporting system. In this system, VTE events recorded as 'primary diagnosis' represented the reason for initial hospital admission, whereas VTE recorded as a 'secondary diagnosis' occurred following admission and were therefore used as an approximation of HA-VTE. These data were used to estimate the overall incidence of VTE and the proportion of these events which were hospital-acquired.SettingThe IEHG is the largest hospital group in the Irish healthcare system and serves a population of over 1 million individuals.ParticipantsData were generated from records pertaining to the 2727 patient admission episodes where a diagnosis of VTE was made during the 22-month study period.ResultsDuring the study period, 2727 VTE events were recorded within the IEHG (which serves a population of 1 036 279) corresponding to an incidence of 1.44 (95% CI 1.36 to 1.51) per 1000 per annum. 1273 (47%) of VTE events were recorded as secondary VTE. The incidence of VTE was highest among individuals over 85 years of age (16.03 per 1000;95% CI 12.81 to 19.26) and was more common following emergency hospital admission.ConclusionThese data suggest that HA-VTE accounts for at least 47% of all VTE events arising within a hospital group serving a population of over 1 million individuals within the Ireland. Given that HA-VTE is a well-recognised source of (potentially preventable) hospital deaths, these findings provide a compelling argument for prioritising strategies directed at reducing the risk of VTE among hospital patients served by the IEHG and within the Ireland as a whole.
