9 lip 2010 · Women have a higher life expectancy than men, leading to a sex-ratio in favour of women in the elderly population. As no sex-difference is reported for the risk of thrombosis in the general population, this will lead to a higher proportion of women among elderly patients with VT.
1 paź 2010 · Rates are shown by 1000 per year, for man in open bars, for women in closed bars. *Adapted from Naess et al. (2007). The incidence of VT is similar for men and women indicating that, given the excess of women in the old age groups (http://www.census.gov), most elderly patients with VT are women.
Arterial and venous thromboembolism are both more common in older adults. The use of anticoagulants, the mainstay to prevent thromboembolism, requires consideration of the balance between risk and benefit. Such consideration is even more important in the very elderly in whom the risk of anticoagulant-related bleeding and thrombosis are higher.
4 gru 2009 · Compared with incidence rates without surgery, women were 40 times more likely to develop venous thromboembolism during the week after an inpatient operation (relative risk 40.3, 30.7 to 52.8), rising to 110 times more likely during the third postoperative week (112.5, 95.3 to 132.8).
10 lip 2023 · We did not observe a statistically significant difference between elderly and younger LVT patients in terms of thrombus resolution. Yet, elderly patients with LVT had a higher risk of MACE, systemic embolism, and all-cause mortality compared with younger LVT patients.
10 lip 2023 · Results. A total of 315 eligible patients were included. Compared to the younger LVT group (n = 171), the elderly LVT group (n = 144) had a lower proportion of males and lower serum creatinine clearance, as well as a higher level of NT-proBNP, and a higher rate of history of systemic embolism.
11 lut 2023 · EVT for elderly patients is technically feasible and safe. In a meta‐analysis of 17 studies, Hilditch et al 8 reported that for patients 80 years or older who underwent EVT for LVO strokes, 78% of patients achieved successful recanalization and 27% had good neurological outcomes.
