Analysis of Related Risk Factors for Deep Vein Thrombosis after Urology Surgery

Abstract

Eighty patients undergoing urological surgery were chosen for the study, and the risk variables for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) were evaluated. The univariate analysis revealed no significant difference between the two groups in terms of gender, age, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, or drinking; operation time, postoperative hospital stay, lithotomy position, postoperative urinary tract infection, or high blood pressure. Blood lipids and coagulation function indices (prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thrombin time (a PTT)) showed statistically significant differences. In patients undergoing urological surgery, logistic multivariate analysis revealed that operation time, postoperative hospital stay, lithotomy position, postoperative urinary tract infection, PT, aPTT, and hyperlipidemia were all independent risk factors for postoperative DVT. Thus, the primary risk factors for DVT after urological surgery include the duration of the operation, the length of the postoperative hospital stay, the location of the lithotomy, the presence of a postoperative urinary tract infection, hyperlipidemia, and abnormal coagulation function indicators.
