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.
