Feng L, et al. - A present study was conducted to examine the prevalence and risk factors of preoperative deep venous thromboembolism (DVT) in Chinese elderly with hip fracture. Researchers recruited a total of 273 elderly patients over 70 years old with elective hip surgery from the electronic medical records between January 1, 2012, and December 31, 2018. The data included for this study are demographic characteristics, comorbidities, ASA classification, types of previous operations, types of anesthesia, operation time, fracture to operation time, preoperative hemoglobin level, anemia, blood-gas analysis, cardiac function, whether transfusion, preoperative hospitalization, postoperative hospitalization, electrocardiograph, lower limb venous ultrasonography and total hospitalization time. This study's findings demonstrate that 15(5.6%) out of 273 individuals had ultrasonography evidence of DVT in affected limbs before surgery. Among Chinese elderly with hip fracture, it was noted that preoperative anemia and total hospitalization time were independent risk factors for venous DVT.
