Prediction of Deep Vein Thrombosis after Elective Hip Replacement Surgery by Preoperative Clinical and Haemostatic Variables: The ECAT DVT Study
Abstract
The European Concerted Action on Thrombosis (ECAT) DVT Study was a collaborative study of preoperative haemostatic tests in prediction of DVT (diagnosed by routine bilateral venography) after elective hip replacement. 480 patients were recruited in 11 centres across Europe. Clinical risk factors were assessed, and stored citrated plasma aliquots were centrally assayed for 29 haemostatic factors according to the ECAT methodology. 120 (32%) of …
