Objective: Patients with ovarian cancer have a high risk of developing thrombosis. We aimed to investigate laboratory parameters associated with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients treated for ovarian cancer. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed pre-operation laboratory data of patients with ovarian cancer for DVT at the National Cancer Center, Korea, between January 2000 and February 2021. The test items were white blood cell count, absolute neutrophil count (ANC), hemoglobin, platelets, monocytes, serum glucose, CA125, D-dimer, fibrinogen, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), and body mass index (BMI). Differences between patients with and without DVT were compared with Wilcoxon rank-sum test. We analyzed the variables using logistic regression. Items with significant odds ratios were included in multivariate logistic regression. Significant variables were selected using backward elimination. Items were further categorized based on reference ranges. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify items with abnormal values associated with DVT. Results: From 3,147 patient samples analyzed, 286 (9.1%) patients with DVT were selected. Differences between patients with vs without DVT were statistically significant for hemoglobin, monocyte, serum glucose, CA125, PT, aPTT, fibrinogen, D-dimer, and BMI. After univariate and multivariate analysis, monocyte, glucose, and PT remained significant. Among the categorical variables, low hemoglobin, high monocyte, high CA125, prolonged PT, and high BMI remained significant after univariate and multivariate analysis. Conclusion: Pre-operation laboratory data of low hemoglobin, high monocyte percentage, high serum glucose, high CA125, prolonged PT, and high BMI were associated with DVT. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
