Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the variability of risk factors among patients with lower limb venous thrombosis, either Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) or Superficial Vein Thrombosis (SVT) in community patients with recent or current SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to a historical cohort.

Methods: We performed a historical retrospective analysis of all patients who presented to a primary health care unit and were diagnosed with DVT or SVT from January 2020 to December 2021. Historic controls were selected from January 2018 to December 2019.

Article Synopsis
  • Vascular surgery patients often have multiple comorbidities that contribute to their frailty, increasing the risk of adverse events and negative long-term outcomes.
  • A study was conducted on 109 patients who had elective revascularizations for aortoiliac occlusive disease, using the modified frailty index-5 (mFI-5) to assess its effectiveness as a prognostic tool.
  • The findings indicated that mFI-5 was a significant predictor of long-term major adverse cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality, but it did not show a significant impact on 30-day outcomes.
